We got a proven player for a proven player. We saved money, upgraded a position of need and got a first rounder. The 4th round pick is a throw in. Yeah you get lucky in later rounds sometimes, but would you rather have given up a 2nd or 3rd? And who says we have to let grubbs and evans go? They are still productive, but if we choose to move on from them because they are getting older than we'd have some cap space, and from there, we can address the matter of who replaces them. It's called one thing at a time. Did you expect us to fill every need in one trade?

To answer your question, no but they didn't fill a need with this trade.

Actually it is, you move Lelito to a starting guard and you have fixed the offensive line right there, not to mention saving a butt load of money...

research man; he can play both center and guard... He pulled double duty in college... And if you forget he was drafted and filled in for Evans at guard to begin with...

In your opinion they didn't. In virtually everyone else's opinion, they did. We did not have a good center. Now we have one of the best. Sorry man, I don't want to make this a personal thing, but I just have rarely been involved in any discussion with someone who refuses to see anything past the end of his eye lashes.

Well this certainly was a shocker ... all afternoon driving around I figured B&G'd be blowing up. Good or bad, the FO's serious and if this Unger guy can stay healthy, I think it's way for the better, :).

Seattle passes approx. 30% less than New Orleans anyway, so his numbers will naturally be down ... but who knows? It might help him stay healthy and if it was Graham that Wilson was targeting instead of Lockett, they may have very well scored on that last play. The biggest thing that'll probably affect JG's play is the locker room drama that's gonna' play out (see below), :rolleyes:.
