espn had valid points....many of the same things were brought up on wip when the pick was made

some people just cant handle an outlet not slurping all over their own team

Yeah ESPN, and more specifically guys like Keyshawn and Herm, made some valid points. They too were surprised by the pick. I think one of them said why would you draft a rookie in the first when you can have Boldin for that same pick or possibly less?

exactly

i like the pick but to act like it shouldnt be questioned is ridiculous

QB Eagles · April 25, 2009, 10:47:03 PM

Both of the Eagles picks are 20 year old sophomores, so they are at least 6 years away from Banner refusing to take their calls.

To which Mort quickly stepped in and said that with Rosenhaus looking for $10 mil/year, no one was biting.

There is a reason he wasn't traded, apparently. The Titans wanted him badly too. I guess not $10 mil/year badly.

I wanted Boldin, but Rosenhaus has to be out of his mind thinking he is going to get paid that much. They were thinking he was going to be traded for sure by the first round. First DAY is done and he's still a Crud with no new contract.

ice grillin you · April 25, 2009, 10:58:35 PM

i think the cardinals never intended to trade him

PhillyGirl · April 25, 2009, 10:59:04 PM

Or Rosenpuke overpriced him?

if boldin really wanted to leave arizona and arizona didnt want him hed be on another team right now...i think people over estimate the power of rosenpenis or any agent for that matter

You are completely missing the point. Its not about RosenWhore its about a guy pricing himself out of the market. Why take on the exact problem that is causing the guy to be on the outs with his present team. If a new team can't work out a deal...no trade.

You are not going to bring him in and say hey buddy how 'bout playin out your contract for us instead of the team that drafted you?

ice grillin you · April 26, 2009, 01:30:05 AM

there is no pricing out in todays nfl market...almost every team has unlimited money....cardinals never had any intention of trading boldin

The BIGSTUD · April 26, 2009, 01:38:01 AM

Agreed. If Boldin was out there for a fair price, he'd be on a new team right now. I don't think the money was the issue. Teams would pay him what he wanted. The Sal Pal rumor about the price drop for Boldin was obviously BS, and the Cardinals obviously wanted way too much for him.

Can't blame the Eagles for this at all.

Also remember, the 1 and the 3 was all speculation. Arizona never even confirmed that. For all we know, they wanted a 1 and a 2. Which means no McCoy.

What was ESPN and WIP saying?

Was Rob Charry doing the WIP show? Because if he was, just throw out whatever he was saying. Dude drips negativity.

I wanted him. But it doesn't matter what they want either. You know the Eagles game....young and cheap. They never give a cent more or cave to negotiations. So maybe they wanted Boldin, and apparently Eskin said they did, but once they heard he wanted massive cash, they backed off and said "10M for a 29yr old WR? Let's write down Jeremy Maclin in crayon and call it a day".

I'm just glad they are addressing the position. Hell, they could have pulled a JAX and drafted OT after OT.

ice grillin you · April 26, 2009, 01:53:19 AM

both were basically questioning the pick because macklin is a carbon copy of pimp and he will never be a number one wr so why do that two years in a row.....and if youre gonna use the one on him why not trade it for braylon or boldin

im not agreeing or disagreeing im just saying these were the things they were saying and they are all valid
