Possible path to a WOW player?

Possible Path to a WOW player

1. Miami has the first pick in each round of the draft

2. Parcells runs the Miami draft

3. Miami needs players more than picks

4. Parcells likes players he knows

5. Parcells does not want to pay 60 million dollars guaranteed to an unproven rookie

6. A new Miami owner (Ross) will soon take over control

7. A fast start is imperative for both Parcells and Sparano

8. A fast start is more likely with well-known veterans than rookies

9. Miami needs young defensive and offensive players, like Spears, Carpenter, and Fasano

10. Spears and Carpenter were first round picks; Fasano was second round; all were selected by Parcells

11. With Tank Johnson at nose tackle, Jay Ratliff is now listed on the depth chart as a DE; Zack Thomas is listed at LB; Tony Curtis is listed as TE, possibly making Spears, Carpenter, and Fasano expendable

12. Dallas might find it worthwhile to offer Miami its pick #28, together with Spears, Carpenter, and Fasano, in exchange for Miami’s pick #1 and an exchange of second round picks (#32 and 61)

13. Such a trade should be easy for Miami to sell to its fans: two first round players and one second round player for no more than an exchange of first and second round picks, keeping a full complement of picks for each round, and escaping the cost of high picks

14. Dallas should be able to sell the trade to its fans: the #1 pick in the draft and the first pick in the second round for no more than exchanging picks in two rounds and relinquishing three players it could do without, while retaining two picks in the first round and all the rest of its picks

15. Dallas could then make a WOW selection with the first pick or trade it. The fly in the ointment is the hit to the Dallas cap, both from the traded players and the cost of high draft picks.

Not to be entertaining this, but what type of cap hit, if any, would we take? Would portions of Spears,Carp and Fasano's salary affect our cap room this year? Next year?

Well it would be more like 3 1st round picks for us. I mean Miami's 2nd is the 32nd pick because of NE so for us to have 3 1st rounders would be awsome.

All you have to do, to realize your idea has no chance, is to think about the history of the NFL. When was the last time you saw teams trade picks in the first round and the deal contained the trading of multiple players to another team.

You're answer list will be VERY short. This isn't the NBA or MLB. Multiple players being traded, in one deal, doesn't happen.

Now that you mention, are the three players replacable this year? Maybe Carp since he really hasn't done anything. But Spear and Fasano, even though they didnt' get their names called a lot, were pretty good role players.

Very true. Spears does a fine job of run defense, which is what they want him more for and he takes up a block that could otherwise be used on our outstanding OLB rushers.

Fasano isn't a really great reciever but that's not his role on this team. He's a blocker and he does a good job of it.

The other factor here is the cap hits. While they might not seem like much when you start moving multiple players off your roster, and have to start eating the remainder of their pro-rated bonuses, then you start accumlating a lot of cap hit.

Any move before June one excelerates the remainder of their signing bonus into this years cap. The trades, if they happened after June 1, could be broken up into this year and next. but since we're talking about a trade for the April draft that means you're going to have to eat them all this year.

Thanks. Nevermind then, we can't take that kind of hit ... unless BP is willing to send some cash our way to help. Hey, my feet are getting cold. Hell must be freezing.

Mr. Jones is a master at marketing. The term WOW player has brought him good press but has killed blog server space.

Holy crap, I was looking at youtube for something applicable to post here, and found this.

That might be the best thing I've ever found on youtube. It starts off a little slow, but it's worth the wait. Seriously funny ish right there.

Check it out.
