Jerry Traded Last Yrs #1 for the Sole purpose of drafting DMac

[rags747]

purpose of having a top 5 pick for Dmac. And now all of a sudden we are to believe that the Great Wildcatter/Gambler that we have come to love has turned into a milquetoast?

The Raiders & KC are prime trading partners. Our D will be set shortly and our run game will be second to none, and we'll still have 6 picks left.

I didn't deserve this thread. I'd been good all day.

Where's my Johnny Cash CD? I need to hear about my "stripes."

Troy Aikman wrote a book, things change.

 

[theogt]

Your premise is wrong, so you're conclusion is obviously wrong.

He made the trade because it was strongly in our favor, not because he was targeting McFadden specifically.

If you want to use this logic, then I guess Matt Millen traded Shaun Rogers to the Browns recently to get some flavor of the month waiting for the Lions in the 3rd round.

Thanks for clearing this up.

He didnt make the trade solely to get McFadden this yr...I'm sure the consensus was the Browns would suck and they thought they'd have a realistic shot at him, but he wasnt the sole reason for the trade..as others mentioned, it was simply a great trade for us...doesnt turn out as great as it could have been, but still a good deal nonetheless

I think he did also, but he was planning on using ONE pick to get it done not 2 or 3 picks. Should Dmac fall where it is a manageable situation then I think JJ will look at it. He has made it plain that he will not mortgage the furture to trade up for one player. He isn't opposed to trading up. He isn't opposed to drafting and paying a player in the top third. He keeps saying that it cost too much to get up there and cost too much after you get there for him to trade up in the top five. According to him, he isn't going to be hit with a double whammy for one player.

We will find out in a few days what JJ is willing to pay, if anything, to move up or whether he believes he will get more value going in another direction. JJ is well aware where this team is and he has to decide if the value is in one player or in multiple players.

JJ isn't afraid to make a move up or down but the Galloway trade taught him a good lesson. He will take a risk if the potential reward is big enough (Pacman).

It would be too easy for us to have distinct, clear-cut path to the draft. Some people would go mad with nothing to contemplate on a message board till they're utterly blue in the face. It is what it is, I guess. I'm with you though, Jerry has a plan and I believe he's going for it this year.

How many years will the D-Mac threads continue? What is with this McFadden obsession by some?

Those top 5 picks in the draft are salary cap killers. Get over McFadden, please!!!

We bet the bills sucked and lost that bet too..

How many years will the D-Mac threads continue?

The Greg Ellis vs. Randy Moss debate still rages on.

I suspect the D-Mac threads will have a similiar life expectancy.
