Re: I don't like the trade
Rookie starters at center, CB, wr, and OLB isn't going to win us a Super Bowl. Nor is it guaranteed the people we pick at those spots will even work out to be long term solutions. You go after the players who you believe in. Trying to fill a dire positional need with an unproven rookie is what teams in the bottom half of the draft do.
You will never be able to fill every hole on a team. |

Re: I don't like the trade
So you're saying that any rookie coming in is not going to be an impact player because he is inexperienced? Then by your reasoning Brandon Cooks is not going to do anything either.
I'm warning you if we don't do something about the offensive line, we are going nowhere. You cannot hope to go through a season without an injury on the o-line. So not only do have to have five good starters, but at least two if not three backups. |

Way too many variables for any kind of accurate hindsight. |

Nothing wrong with that.

But consider... One, this is the deepest draft, possibly in twenty-five years... Two, the more picks you have, the better you're chances of hitting good players... Three, if the players that could have been selected with those extra picks would be an improvement over existing talented - why would the fact that they are rookies handicap them from winning a championship?!? |
