If Bill trades 23 & 47 for #8, and then drafts an Effin Wide Effin Receiver, he will have easily made the worst trade of his tenure as HC of the NEP.
I cannot put into words how strongly I object to throwing away a valuable 2nd-rounder just to pay a lot more money to somebody who will not provide nearly the cost-effectiveness as 2 players taken at 23 & 47.
Folks, this is a deep draft with lots of quality & quantity at positions where we have need. But this is NOT a top-heavy draft.
Neither Oher nor Andre Smith will be a better LT than Will Beatty.
Neither Crabstree nor Maclin will be that much better than Brian Robiske.
Neither Orakpo nor Everette Brown will be a better OLB/DE than Barwin.
No DB is worth drafting at #8, not even Malcolm Jenkins.
Why draft Raji when we already have Wilfork?
Monroe & Jason Smith will be gone by #8.
Neither Ayers nor Tyson Jackson will help our pass rush, though I might take them at 23.
Not one of the USC LBs are close to being worthy of #23, never mind #8.
So unless Monroe slips to #8, the only player even worthy of considering for a trade-up is Aaron Curry. If that's the case, then I would bite my tongue and accept it, as long as Bill uses ALL of his other top-100 picks.
But under NO EFFIN CIRCUMSTANCES should we WASTE 2 picks on an EFFIN WIDE EFFIN RECEIVER. How the EFF is Brady going to pass to all of them, esp. when his OL CAN'T EVEN KEEP HIM HEALTHY?
This Fantasy Football obsession with giving our QB more "toys" & "weapons", at the expense of our OL & pass-rush & Secondary, really pisses me off. The NEP scored the most points in league history in 2007; how the EFF did that work for ya?
