Those who read this board know that Toys and myself usually find ourselves at opposite ends of most debates, but looking at this one by one, I have to say he has presented several decent proposals. Some, I personally wouldn't love, but certainly they all deserve at least and honest look
This would make sense, though I doubt it will happen because Denver will likely get a better pick than 22, like trading Marshall for Seattle's first round 2nd pick. There is no questioning Marshall's talent. If you make this deal, you do it with the understanding that as he gets older, Marshall could mature. That is the risk, but the reward, even when he HAS been a ****, has been superior production. All our players don't have to be heart warming stories.
I agree. I would love this scenario. IF one of our main objects is to upgrade the DE position for the next 4-5 years. Edwards would make a great pick, over the "POTENTIAL" of any prospect that may be available at 22. My only reservation would be if the Pats FO have determined that his skills don't "fit" in our system.

This idea has merit, though I wonder if a "pass catching" TE would have great value....IF the Pats vastly upgrade at WR. If they don't, than something like this wouldn't be a bad idea. Olsen is a proven commodity, Pita, McCoy, and Gronk AREN'T
This idea appeals to me. Smith is an absolute gamer. The best WR under 6' in the league. A perfect fit to play opposite Moss, and at this stage of his career mentally prepared to the the 2nd or 3rd option
This is outside the box, but I'm not confident about Brace's development, and Carriker SHOULD be and upgrade. So if that's the cost why not.
I'm no fan of SMoss, and I wonder if Cooley would be effective in this style of offense where the slot WR is getting most of the Patterns that Cooley generally runs. I am also one of the few here that hopes AD is back for another year. IMHO he's one of those players who isn't as good as we hoped, but not as bad as it appears.
Now this is one that I recently was thinking about. He could be a BEAR at DE for us, and the 3 year money is VERY reasonable for a guy with that kind of talent. A second rounder for a pick starved team could be a fair trade, for a former DPOY, who would be playing for his last contract.
OK now we are getting up into fantasy land.
How do we know if he'd be an upgrade over Kaczur. I'm happy with our OL for this year. Don't you have to ask the question, of WHY would the Ravens be shopping a 24 year old quality OLman?????
I'm on the record for being on board if we signed TO, but I think that "reports" about Tate being a "mediocre" WR are way too premature.
What was wrong with ramon post was his tone and the insinuation that all is lost and we are going to hell in a handbasket. Gocong WAS NOT any answer. Wimbley might have been because BB is on record for liking him, but for some reason didn't pull the trigger. You have to ask why, but we don't have the full data for any of these moves. And I'm happy we didn't spend to get Boldin.
The point Toys, is that some people are going chicken little on us, when the reality is that ALL 10 of your propositions could STILL happen. And we know that only one or 2 would satisfy most of us. Its just TOO early to even BEGIN to project a good or bad off season. MAYBE when training camp starts, you can begin to think about it, but we all know that it isn't until September that you can really begin to assess what the FO has done, and even then it won't be until Feb that we REALLY will know how they did.
