Dude I re-read your original post. You clearly meant throwing games for draft picks bro...

Well I didn't but if it came across that way fair enough.

Its ok you're in England you guys mess everything up like driving on the wrong side of the road :)

Yes but we do drink proper Beer.
Well those that drink beer do. Personaly speaking its rum or bourbon

Well Danno could we not have had a chance for A Samuel. More specifically I would have liked to see Harper, Smith, and our DT from USC (He's made so little impact I forget his name Brain Freeze) traded or released and take a shot with someone else. Know its not easy but if they would have done this early we may have had a chance to free up more money. Loomis does really well but I think it was time to let these guys go.

The cap hit cutting those three alone would have prevented us from signing Brees and Grubbs, and we'd still need another starting DT, DE and SS.

This year it was much cheaper to keep 'em. Next year, not so much. And Harper has probably been our best DB this year, which I guess isn't saying much I know, but Harper has been our least disappointing DB.

Considering our recent history of first round picks?!?

Re: Playoffs or damaging draft pick
 

that was my first thought
we have been much more successful with FA signings lately, not to mention the Vilma trade. I'd rather let Loomis have the cap space and draft later

Re: Playoffs or damaging draft pick
 

Considering our luck w first rounders I hope we never have another one.

Re: Playoffs or damaging draft pick
 

Even if we by some chance make the playoffs, we won't have a coach to guide us past the first round, I'm would never lose on purpose and with that said a top 10 pick in Paytons hands could go a long, long way!!
