It is just to early to risk trading players

Sure we get a great defensive player, "in college" but at what cost?

Lets be totally honest here, it is just to early in the rebuilding stage to trade any players we have, epically the good ones. Harper and Brown traded? Crazy. We are just into the third draft of rebuilding the team and we still need a lot but why risk taking a two step backwards in the process.

Didn't we just get the OL 85% rebuilt?

Brown is playing out of position and needs to move back to RT. All the other back ups have little to zero playing time. We are jumping the gun here a bit. Wait one more year and see what the bench really has first before we risk weakening the team on the offensive side.
If we can afford to trade Brown then move him back to the RT position and lets see what LT the coaches think will take over the position first. If it does not work at least Drew, Duce and Bush are not paying the price for it. If it does, then look to trade who ever is odd man out before the trade deadline in 2008. Besides Brown is cheap at just over 700,000 a year.

Harper?

Harper is all we have in the secondary that is worth anything besides an injured and aging M&M. So why make more wholes in the secondary.

Are we talking about taking to big of a gamble here?
