Basically the trade comes down to this...

[InmanRoshi]

Assuming they were going to take Spencer at #22.

They traded a 3rd round pick and a 5th round pick for Cleveland's 2008 #1.

Great Trade and Pick

Good way to look at it!

 

[dargonking999]

i guess,

if we dont get a WR, then i think we didnt do a good job

 

[Danny White]

That is a rock-solid series of trades.

 

[InmanRoshi]

You guys and your WR's.

Defense wins Championship !!!!!!

When you explain it that way it sounds a lot better than they way it sounded when it was announced. I would have liked it better if we had gotten another 5th out of Cleveland though.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Great trades. Next April, the draft talk will be some kind of crazy.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Defense wins Championship !!!!!!

Bingo!

Yous said it best!

Defense wins Championship !!!!!!

And last year, ours was a weakness in the final stretch.

That's exactly how I saw it IR. Great deal for us.

dont worry fellas we are going to get a wr......roy williams is packing his bags in motown........

 

[Bizwah]

Again, I do not like this trade.

We're giving a team that, with the exception of last year, normally drafts well, two first day picks.

What will happen if they choose two guys that terrorize us for the next ten years?

Yes, I believe Spencer and Ware make a formidable duo.....but have we just made our only competition in the East that much stronger?

They took us....IMO.

 

[Joe a Cowboys fan]

Still the rest of the first day to go and we still have some picks to play or trade with to go for a WR to groom if our 33 year old starting WRs are chancy.

 

[BEMYDADJERRY]

dude......can you say 2 first round pickies next year......one between 5-15 and the next at 32 are you for real........genious move.....

On the other hand, what will happen when Ware and Spencer rip McNabs head off...

AGREED

Whose to say that they will draft well? As you said, they had a bad draft last year and nothing is stopping them from doing it again. And don't act like we gave up the freaking bank for Spencer. They got a second rounder (a good pick), a third rounder (an okay pick), and a fifth rounder (normally a throw-away pick for even the best drafting teams). Nothing to be that scared of.

And what if Spencer leads the league in sacks in a couple of years, constantly putting McNabb into the ground on a game-by-game basis?

Yes, I've heard this......

That's why I posted what you quoted.

This is why I hate trading with rivals.

Last time we traded with the Eagles on draft day, they wound up taking Jerimiah Trotter.

Our first rounder sucked....their third rounder is still killing us.

Hopefully, it'll be the opposite this time...but Philly makes sound draft decisions.
