The words 'trading' and 'Felix' in the same sentence are disgusting.

If the right offer came around I would do it. RB's have a short length and if a team wanted to give us 2 first rounders I would have to consider it. He may be a play maker but he is injured to much to ever become a full time starter

I don't think we can make that judgement just yet. Let's give him another year with increased carries before we pass judgement on him being injury prone, the sample size is still too small.

I don't think a team would offer two firsts for him, but you would have to take it if they did, obviously. Ware and Romo might be the only two who I wouldn't trade for that price.

Jenkins, Witten, Ratliff, Spencer and Austin aswell. Impressive we have 7 players I wouldn't trade for 2 first round picks.

Ill continue my rant here though. Jay Ratliff is the First team ALL-PRO DT. Not just a pro bowler, he is the best DT in the Football, he is the BEST there is at his position.

I'm glad they are all coming back in the system.

With Felix getting starter-touches we have two backs in Choice and Barber that will provide two different styles to finish games in different ways.

Please stay healthy. Amen

When did draft picks become guaranteed not to bust?

You're going to take one of our best players and trade him for two players in the crapshoot that's called the NFL Draft.

I think people just like the idea of getting draft picks, not the reality that a vast majority of draft picks turn out to be busts.

I believe I heard somewhere that 58% of first rounders bust.

That's why you don't trade the ones who have boomed for ones who will potentially bust ... unless you've got a surplus of young talent and a position is overloaded.

Considering we don't have another back like Jones on the roster, I think it would be foolish to take two No. 1s for him until we do or find an Emmitt Smith-type franchise back.

TC can be a franchise-back.

I along with several others didn't say trade Barber, we said it's best to cut him...

Oh yea, because getting nothing instead of something is the best thing.

And we know this because we've seen it, right?

I wouldn't base his potential as a franchise back on the role he is playing now. Other players who have done well in backup roles have failed when made the lead dog.

I'm not saying he can't be a franchise back, but I don't think we have the evidence to say he can.

I thought I was the only one who felt this way.

Theres nothing wrong w/ wantng to move on from MB3 or RW. But the reality is there can not be a trade for them. No ones going to take on those contracts.

I can see this being Barbers last year. RW might get a tad longer leash.
