***Dallas trades Fasano and Akin to Miami for 4th round pick (#100)

[mrecktid]

carpenter gets some playing time yay!

 

[Stash]

I think they should have gone all the way and traded Fasano, Ayodele and Ellis for Jason Taylor!

(somebody was bound to say it)

 

[Hostile]

Well, that's 3 of the 4 players I said could be traded this off season.

Ferguson
Ayodele
Fasano
Ellis

 

[mrecktid]

i cant wait for roster updates on madden!!

 

[tomson75]

no. i was basing it off fasano's 1.

That's just TD catches. The 3 I was referring to were the entirety of Curtis' catches.

curtis is fine for what we need in a TE. it's not like witten has a threat out there to unseat him. i'm not saying curtis is better than fasano. do we really know much about either to get into a whizzing contest over them?

I agree, and I'm not trying to get into whizzing contest. I just think that Curtis is still an enigma, and am hesitant to join the slurp fest...just yet.

no.

curtis is a better blocker than fasano. that's what i'm basing it off of in the end. we need that badly and it's value gets lost in the glitter.

I have to disagree with this one. Blocking was one of Curtis' major issues while he was in camp, and I didn't often see him with too many blocking duties. He was primarily used as a receiving threat.

There were reports that Fasano was having trouble blocking, but they were mostly due to his trying to learn how to be an effective blockier out of the H-back role. He was a solid blocker from the line. IMO.


Like I said, I'm going to take this as a sign that our staff is high on Curtis. I think he had a higher ceiling than Fasano, so I'm not terribly upset by this, but I'm still not stoked when we give up two starters (for Miami, one of which was a second round pick two years ago) for a fourth round pick. I'd want something higher...a third at the very least.

Hell,I'm afraid to turn off the computer for the night, cause I'm skeered I'll miss something. I think Ice said it best that it's gonna get interesting!

Dont turn it off! My video is almost done uploading!!!! you can have one final look back at the 07 season!

 

[superpunk]

i cant wait for roster updates on madden!!

You'll have to wait until they release 09. No more updates this year.

 

[Clove]

I agree we had some good depth there.Well one thing is for sure,the
same people who drafted Fasano just went out and got him a second time.

:laugh2: Parcells loves him some Fasano, huh?

 

[canters]

Still have the feeling this pick will be used for another trade,,,just can't figure out for what player.

 

[CowboysNumeroUno]

i'll hand deliver the offer on my knees.

You and me both.

So who else wishes the draft was still in its old style? Then we could have the first pick of Day 2.

 

[fishspill]

I like the flexibility we get with this pick and the increase in the chance at getting Peyton Hillis. I'm a little football-gay for Peyton Hillis.

 

[Rampage]

Dont turn it off! My video is almost done uploading!!!! you can have one final look back at the 07 season!

sweet! i can't wait to see all of the akin and fasono highlights 1 more time as cowboys

 

[Chocolate Lab]

***...

Come on, Jerry, you know Parcells woulda given a third for those guys.

I do think Fasano was worthless, though.

Sometimes even we laymen can see awful draft picks.

 

[montgod]

I wonder how this affects the cap room? Did the Boys gain any additional room?

 

[tomson75]

Sorry, but for a second round draft choice, his two seasons in Dallas were a disappointment.

28 catches in two years?

And Curtis had more TD's last season on his '3 catches' than Fasano did for his Cowboys career.

It was a mistake of a draft pick and I'm glad they got something in return.

Oh, I agree it was a bit of a disappointment. In hindsight, it was definitely the wrong pick....but that doesn't mean that Fasano was a bad player.

You and me both!

Rodney Hannah too!

Damn, I forgot about Hannah. Weren't there some glowing reports about him during last years' camp?

 

[MrMom]

Bloody hell.

This is a dumb trade. There is really no point to it.

+1

why give up quality depth for an unknown? if this 4th rounder ends up being a canty or a barber then great, but really why the risk?

 

[Stash]

sweet! i can't wait to see all of the akin and fasono highlights 1 more time as cowboys

That shouldn't take long.

Don't blink.

 

[theebs]

sweet! i can't wait to see all of the akin and fasono highlights 1 more time as cowboys

lol....

Touche.

seriously, I hope everyone enjoys it....

I fear for our special teams next year.

On the flip side our team is going to be very young and I am imagining there is a chance we will have two new halfbacks, one fullback and one new tight end by monday.

 

[CPonder14]

We got raped up the *** in this one.

sweet! i can't wait to see all of the akin and fasono highlights 1 more time as cowboys

Don't blink then.
