Quote:Exactly.  

 

Move back a few spots and get a DE in the 1st round, then possibly a RT and TE in round 2.  

 

We have some good young players on the O-line, but Pastor could be upgraded and Lewis will likely get cut to save his $7M salary, so surrounding Bortles with more talent is critical this offseason.  

 

I don't get how some people think that winning a meaningless game or two at this point in the season does anything.  We suck - the draft is the most exciting thing we have to look forward to. 

 

I don't get how some people believe losing on purpose is a good thing. Football is a competitive sport, when you're down by 21 points at the half do you want a team that's going to fight to win the game or do you want a team that starts looking forward to the following week? I want a team that's going to fight and not quit, you don't get both. As for us sucking, I just don't agree. I saw us put up a fight against the chargers who ended up blowing out the jets. I saw us hold the Steelers to 0 tds (their O), but then Ben threw for 5 tds a few games later and they beat the colts. I saw us nearly beat the titans in a game that came down to the wire, I saw us have a chance to nearly beat the dolphins when no one gave us a chance. You clearly see us as a pure crap team...I see us as a team of rookies who still fight and claw to win. Thank god you're not our coach. 

 

Quote:Don't forget the saints trading their entire draft for Ricky Williams

 

It happens every few year when their is a perceived can't miss prospect on top of the board. In general it seems to work out best for the team trading away the pick.

 

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be one of those guys out there this year so It doesn't look like we will have a good chance of trading back.

How did that workout for either team? Did either team turn the player/picks into a SB ring? (Serious question as I don't know the outcome I just know I've heard the story). I cannot recall a team trading multiple picks to acquire 1 player and then they turn around and dominate/win a ring, nor can I recall a team trading away a top pick and turning the extra picks into a dominate team. I of course could be wrong here but nothing seems to come to mind.
