Maybe it will actually be a blue moon and someone actually trades for one of our players. I bet we could recoup a pick for Colombo.

Just let that settle for awhile...you'll come around.

You seriously want to trade our most intense offensive lineman, one of our emotional leaders, essentially for a guy Baltimore can't motivate to work out and is looking to unload?

That's what concerns me regarding what I've read on him.

That appeared to be the case in college, and now in the pros. Once Gaither gets a big contract, are his habits going to improve? Is this guy going to be another Haynesworth?

What's wrong with Free anyway? The guy performed very well at RT last season, and the coaching staff believes (at least the former staff!) he's a natural LT. They have observed him for 3 years now. Let the guy play.

As for RT, the staff seems to like Brewster. And in any case, we'll probably draft another OT to add more depth and competition.

Brewster is a huge question mark since he did not even get in one practice session before his injury. There is no way you should count on him this year.

Well, I think the Cowboys are counting on him. I'm not counting on him to start this season, but yhea, he should be able to at least be a competent back-up RT player this season.

If we get shut out of the OL in the first round, then I become more interested in moving our second and perhaps another choice for Gaither. I just do not believe the Cowboys would do it.

The main issue again is how committed we are to Doug Free and how much money Gaither would want. If you give up that much in trade and also his future contract, he had better be your left tackle. I do not think he can play guard, so that is another issue. I just do not get how realistic this option is as much as it is hoped for.

Being realistic about our draft possibilities, the 2010 two-deep I like is:

LT-Doug Free/Good Question
LG-Kyle Kosier/John Jerry
C-Andre Gurode/Maurkice Pouncey
RG-Leonard Davis/Travis Bright
RT-Marc Colombo/Rob Brewster

I wouldn't mind looking at T Washington in the 4th/5th area (assuming we picked up a 5th rounder, of course).

If he keeps his nose clean, he has the ability to become a quality LT. I'd definitely snag him in the 4th. I actually had him in my first mock a month and a half or so ago.

keeping his nose clean with his previous infraction takes it to another level :laugh1:

Plus he might be had for a little less during the draft if Baltimore sees someone on the board they really want at the time.

I don't have a problem with a second round pick seeing as we are picking so close to the third anyway.

I guess if you could get a FS or CB you really like in the first and no other decent OT or OGs are available in the 2nd then I see no problem with it.

However like you said he is wanting LT money. I guess you could let him and Free fight it out for the LT spot in camp and maybe Free becomes the starting RT and it works itself out.

who knows but I doubt it happens anyway .

From what I can gather, Free has been assured a starting job next year. So we would just pull the rug out from under him and tell him to wait in Colombo?

I do not see it.

I would absolutely pay money to watch this happen.

How can it not be? You don't have to highlight what you want to quote and it is one click of the mouse versus that and hitting ctrl V.
