You sure Denver has 2 2nds and 2 3rds?

What did they give up in that 3-way trade with Abraham? I thought they gave up either a 3rd or a 2nd. Along with the 29th.

Im pretty sure Denver gave up a 2006 third round and a 2007 fourth rounder.  Plus their intial first round pick this year.

Denver will draft a receiver in the second round or first round instead of going after Walker.

Just stop it.  Your forced "optimism" on Walker coming to Philly is outright ridiculous.  Deal in the real, buddy.

No, they don't.  Only the 3rd they just got.  They have 3 4th's though.

Yes, they do.

You have no idea why Denver did that deal. Maybe they didn't want to give away 50% of their draft to get Vernon Davis, so they traded 1 pick for 2, so they could trade a first a 2nd and Lelie to the Packers for the 5th and still have a 2nd two 3rds and the rest of their draft to fill other holes.

We don't even know if they really want Walker. We've heard nothing but "they have expressed interest."

Same deal with the Eagles, bro.  No matter what you want to be the case.

That's true, but to say we aren't getting Walker because if this isolated deal is premature. I still think we'll get Walker, and until I hear a report that he got traded to Denver, I have no reason to think otherwise.

So Denver has extra picks now. I'm not going to automatically assume they want Walker. Maybe they want to do what I said above. Maybe they want to draft Stovall in the 2nd round or a receiver in the 3rd.

We don't know why they did this move, there could be a million reasons. Maybe they want Hali or Kiwanuka in the 2nd round. They admitted they needed a pass rusher by going after Abraham.

A caller on WIP brought up a good point. He thinks the Niners initiated this deal, not Denver. He thinks the Niners want to trade for multiple picks so they can have 2 firsts and a 2nd. It is a good point though. A team like the Niners that are so bad need as many picks as they can get. If they trade their #6 overall and multiple picks they'll have plenty of picks on the first day to help rebuild that team.

Read your post again.  If it still makes any logical sense to you, you've failed the test.

Seriously... if the Niners want MORE first-day picks, why would they trade for less as a first step to get more?  It makes no sense.  Also, it doesn't matter who initiated the deal, because obviously both teams wanted to do it.

Niners traded their 2nd and 3rd for 22 overall. So now they have 2 firsts, but not a 2nd and a 3rd. Then they trade #6 overall for say #12 overall, and a 2nd round pick.

So they have #12 overall #22 overall and a 2nd round pick.

Is that not better off than they were last night before this Denver deal?

Regardless of whether the second part happens or not is irrelevant. The point was that the Niners initiated the deal, and not Denver. Which would scratch off the idea of Denver calling San Fran to do this strictly to chase Walker.

We don't know why both teams did this deal yet, but the guy made a good point.

With Denver getting those picks I will say there is a .00000001% chance the Eagles get Walker.
