Quote:Yes, and we probably plan on signing a few.  Hopefully Alex Mack, and a few others specifically at G.  Which will do us more good in the long run.  I'm not happy with the compensation either -- I wish we had gotten at least a 3rd.  But I think sometimes we fans overestimate the value of players for picks.  You have to consider more than just talent, you have to consider age, contract, and a few other factors as well.  Given that Levi Brown was had for a conditional 7th-- and Arizona is still picking up most of the tab... I'd say that we probably are.  I'd also say that some trades are 'goodwill' trades.  Meaning that in the future when Caldwell wants to trade up -- the Ravens will remember that we gave them Monroe for a good deal, and they'll (hopefully) give us one in return.

 

 

Did Gene Smith get a GM job somewhere?  Cause that's the only way I see a team stupid enough to sign Lewis.  Besides, the Patriots have freaking' Gronk.  

 

Yes they have freaking Gronk, who hasn't "freaking" played, either. 

 

And last year in addition to freaking Gronk, they also had freaking Hernandez, who currently resides in freaking jail....so they had 2 freaking TE weapons that they regularly used, not just freaking one....

 

obviously, Marcedes would finally have to play himself, to show he's healthy, but if/ when that happens, and its before Oct 29 (trade deadline) theres an outside possibility that another trades for him. I'll take a 7th for that scrub.
