...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

    • Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
    • Bryce youngs first starts for 3 years   51 of 103 49%     153 yards avg 6 ints 2 tds   But this is the year he turns it around
    • His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
