Draft Day Trades

troyhstewart · February 28, 2007, 11:05:11 AM

They traded some veterans during the draft last year, there may be more this year. My vote is for L J and William Thomas for the right price.

tra thomas' cap number is 5 mil...he would be difficult to deal i think

and with the wr'ing core they are gonna have next year they need lj...trading him plus losing stallworth would be disaster

5 mill for an above average LT that probably has 5-6 good years left is extremely reasonable, especially in today's market. I think WT is signed thru 2008.

I just don't see the reasoning behind Winston Justice sitting on the bench for 3 years, as long as he has been busting his ass to get on the field.

I've been doggin L J for a couple seasons now. I'd prefer a Jason Witten type TE, less athlete, more of a football player.

Just imagine if Detroit or cleveland came out of the draft with WT and Adrian Peterson or WT and Calvin Johnson. WOW

He's only 32, I think it's definitely possible. I consider his play last year his best season in 2 or 3, probably because he was in better shape due to the health concerns he had.

I dunno if he's got 5-6 solid years left in him. I'd say he's got 2, maybe 3 left in him where he can play at a pro bowl level and maybe 4 years overall. And that's pushing it, imo.

starting?

how many one or two?

who are they?

remember ogden is gonna retire

Tra's got one more year, tops. They didn't draft Winston Justice to sit on the bench waiting for Tra to retire.

Tra's contract runs out after 2007. He's definitely gone after that and maybe sooner if Justice proves he's ready to take over.

MURP · February 28, 2007, 12:15:18 PM

Wayne Gandy is one. If I have time to scour the net maybe id find more.

MURP · February 28, 2007, 12:17:21 PM

Jon Runyan.
