...that we made it out of this year's draft without giving up any future picks? :D

Not sure if it's been discussed yet, but I'm actually happy about it.

Granted, once the CBA is on we could still trade future picks for players, but In the future I'm hoping to see more stockpiling than trading away.

A third wouldn't astonish me but anything higher would blow me away... I was expecting a 4th.

Heck ya I noticed, and was very pleased about it. No silly trading up to give Belacheat more damn picks... just a clean draft.

man that was a welcome relief. but I'm beginning to wonder if his "genius" is starting to wear thin. It seems all they do is trade picks. At some point they need to rebuild their team a bit more, lol. Still a great coach that can do wonders with people though.

I was afraid we might trade away something next season to get into the 2nd.

Speaking of Belicheck, they haven't won a playoff game since 2007. The Patriots have the best quarterback, the supposed best coach and after the regular season success they have struggled the past few years winning a playoff game.

Honestly I think they have struggled to fix the defense especially getting pressure on the quarterback. For all their greatness, they have been outdone by the Jets recently.

Hopefully it's a sign of things to come never liked giving up future picks.

As far as Smitty I don't think we'll get the winning end out of that trade regardless where he goes which is another reason I hope he stays.

I have a hard time seeing that.

Rumor is we had offer of a 3/4th this year and a conditional pick in 2012 on the table.

Not a bad deal.

Rumor also is 5+ teams want him so a bidding war is possible.

as long as we didn't trade next year's first....with the lockout, I could see another adjustment year in terms of qb play considering there won't be much time learning Chud's new offense

Also I think we need to add: Cofield, a vet corner, resign our core players (extend Beason), and a vet wide-out if Smitty is traded

I know its unlikely but I would extremely interested if the Chargers wanted to give us V-Jax for Smitty and a pick

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
