the problem, and the reason most trades like this dont happen is because not only do they have to give up a pick of a future player, but they have to value the player they trade for more than the player they could pick up in the draft

and with the uncertainty in reggie's health, its not very likely we will ever find a trade partner that will give us an early round pick....especially since they will be getting a running back who is really not a running back by definition and they could easily draft a starting RB in one of those early rounds who would probably be better than reggie at carrying the load

Re: keith bullocks

so what do you think about my thoughts on KC?

IMO kansas city is going to focus on their defense this draft.....

im pretty sure they are content with jamaal charles at running back who averaged 5.9 ypc and only started 10 games but still managed to crack 1000 yards

they might want a running back for depth, but most backup running backs wouldnt garner an early round pick and i think thats all reggie would be if he were to go to kansas city

as for dorsey, many people want him because their fans of LSU as well

but im not so sure he is struggling in the 3-4 as many people claim.....he averages 50 tackles per season and would have no problem playing DE in a 3-4

as for our needs at DT.....IMO we need a NT more than another DT......dorsey is listed as just under 300 lbs and he would not fill a need at nose tackle

he is a good DT but would we want to use him as depth? he might start over ellis but what then? what would we do with ellis?

Re: keith bullocks

how bout your thoughts on derrick? i just saw they were bringing in rbs. other teams might be philly pitt to complement mendenhall sf to complement gore to name a few that might look at a trade. you are probably right a pick might be out of the ? but a good player or two might not.

im not sure about pittsburgh because they are notorious for being a smash mouth football team and thats not exactly what i think of when someone mentions reggie bush

philly is an interesting prospect.....they have done deals with us before......who ru looking at from philly?

Re: keith bullocks

he was a first rounder a few years back that i wanted. this year wasnt as good because they went more to a 3 - 4 which he wasnt good at. ie vilma. they was letting him go but then put a tag on him. he isnt even a starter in their 3 - 4 scheme. i was just thowing out teams. let me look and see what i would do.

Re: keith bullocks

Derrick played at UT..and was really wanted by Saints fans on draft day..he's a good player..But we just gave up one just as good..

Re: keith bullocks

he is younger and i would say better at this point and goin forward. not sure philly has anything we would want that they would be willing to give up in the front seven. i think KC has a few up front that we would like. maybe SF. they have a few and not sure how they feel about them.
