Getting worse to get better seems to be the theme with our new front office

Joeckel, Nwaneri, Meester, Rackley, ?????
Quote:Knarnn, you keep freaking out and you still don't know what the picks are. Stop acting like a little girl and wait till we know the picks before criticizing. Geez the whining that goes on. 3rd day picks!?!? Oh my gosh, no!!!!!! Oh wait, that is just a rumor? I don't care, I must still whine even if the info might be incorrect.I tried to tell you that this team was being cheap. The evidence is in your face and you keep defending them. The same person who reported the trade also reported 3rd day picks. That's a pretty credible source if you ask me.
Quote:Every report on the trade mentions only late round picks.
Sorry, but even if he wasn't part of the long term plans, this kind of deal, if accurate, smacks of something I've been saying this front office wasn't about. Trading players who might be costly and replacing them with bargain basement players makes me wonder about where this team is headed. Sorry, but LT is a premium position. If you've got a good one you're looking to trade, bending over for pennies on the dollar in value is questionable to say the least.
Hope the reports are wrong, but it's been some pretty credible outlets.

That's a pretty credible source of you as me.We definitely weren't guaranteed a 3rd rounder for one. Those are pretty hard to get. It's possible that he would have netted the last pick of the third round, but probably more likely that he would've gotten the last pick of the 4th round. Dave got multiple third day picks...probably a 4 and more. Hard to say that is worse.
Is a top 10 LT worth "multiple 3rd day picks?" Considering the fact that just by letting him walk in FA we were guaranteed a 3rd rounder.
Not to mention the fact that we literally just wasted the # overall picks to replace an already GREAT LT.
Keep defending the front office. New faces, same results.
In Caldwell I trust.
Quote:the only holes in your argument there would be that since the last labor deal, theres really no really expensive picks in the draft anymore....
the problem here isn't replacing Monroe with draft picks.....its replacing Monroe with such a bad return of draft picks. The salary difference between a 2nd rounder and a 3rd day pick isn't giant.
I see the problem being Caldwell simply getting fleeced.

Quote:Dude what dont you understand, WE WERE NOT GOING TO RE-SIGN HIM. Is that clear now?i know but we have the cap space to franchise him and get better than 3rd day picks. i mean right? right?
