Charles Grant's trade value?

SaintPauly · 02-21-2010, 01:04 AM

I agree on the speed of McCray. That guy looks like a locomotive coming off the side, where as Grant looks like an overweight Rhino, tripping over his own feet. I appreciate what Grant did for the team, the same way I appreciated the things my girlfriend in 12th grade did. It was awesome THEN, but luckily all these years later, I have moved on....

mccray just doesnt stop the run very well.....thats his only down fall

he is a huge liability in the run game and he was greatly exposed on several long runs in the post season......its nice to have someone that fast coming off the edge but his height and his lack of bulk is a huge disadvantage for us in stopping the run

time to say good-bye C Grant. your time is up here Big Boy. It's time to move on. I'd say fourth to fifth round trade.

I say that is where Hargrove comes in. If I am not mistaken Hargrove started at de and has bulk, just not Grant bulk. We really need to build depth at de though. Age is starting to scare me, not to mention the 4 game suspension.

I don't know if he has any value, but I think it would be a good idea to trade him if possible. I think the Redskins might be the best partner. Haslett is the new defensive coordinator there, and they're supposedly moving to a 3-4 scheme. I think Grant would be really good as a 3-4 outside lineman. He has the size and strength to handle it, and could really free up a quick linebacker to make plays.

trade him to the Rams + our 1st + 4th for their 1st.

Suh worth that, probably.
