Those are trades of first round picks for established players though.

That's not what Marty did.

Here is what your post I replied to said:

If we never again trade away a future first rounder, that won't bother me at all.

I'm not sure what Marty or trading for established players have to do with my initial response... And the context of this discussion was potentially trading for Duane Brown, who is an "established player." My point was, don't get too comfortable having 1st round picks every year with Fitterer here, he may very well start trading some of them away like the Hawks did a ton while he was there.

My post was about training away future first rounders like Marty did when he traded up to get Everette Brown. That's what I don't want to see again, and I feel pretty comfortable saying I'm not alone in that sentiment.

Trading away a first-round pick for a player who's established himself in the league is an entirely different story. On that front, it depends on who the player is.

Not that Hurney wasn’t trash but Fit has been here 7 months. Not being trash isn’t equal to competency. No one he’s drafted or brought in from FA has stepped foot on the field yet for a season. He also has limited cap to worth with. Competency is yet to be determined.

I thought finesser's FA signings were petty bad, if I had to rank it 2/10. Draft was completely opposite 9/10. Hes got something for Greg Little, I doubt many GMs could have. Just like Rhule= still digesting each before I start the god-like memes.

Scot, we're not mind readers here. Make that clear in your post. All your post said was:

 

"If we never again trade away a future first rounder, that won't bother me at all."

 

And this entire thread is about upgrading LT by trade, trading up in a draft is completely out of context and irrelevant here.

Not that I want too, but I feel part of the Brown trade was owner pressure driven. Just lost Peppers and the owners much like fans wanted to end the win-lost seasons mess. Herniay's panic had to be the highest among the league. Herniay thought the team was very close and had Brown as a Freeny-like DE.....I believe we had Meeks former colts DC that didnt help either.

From what I've read about that draft, Meeks was pretty big on Brown. He believed Brown was another Dwight Freeney.

That didn't exactly pan out.

Just like the Teddy deal, plenty of blame to go around. When people with all the power say _____ , nearly everyone agrees.

Hurney also traded a future 2nd round pick, which the next year that was pick number 33 for Armantti Edwards!!! Hurney loved to trade his draft picks away and they never worked out. Fitty seems to like to trade down and collect more picks. So far, it looks like a big improvement.

      I think Indiana will win it all but Miami should give them a much better fight than Oregon did.

      If you need some ‘chills’ to start your Friday….

      When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
