What's the rent like on somebody's nuts, MDS? Pretty good?

Lolol

I was thinking today about teams who give up a shtein ton of picks to jump up high to take one player. Someone was talking about the Griffin deal and it got me thinking has any team who gave up a lot for one player ever succeeded with that deal? They're crippling to franchises.

Ricky Williams deal
Griffin deal
Julio Jones deal
Sammy Watkins deal

I'm leaving a few out but rarely if ever is it a good idea to blast away your entire draft for one dude.

The Eli deal worked out for the Giants. #1 for #4 (Rivers), #65 (Nate Kaeding), #12 the following year (Shawne Merriman) and Roman Oben

Both of the Foles backup deals were pretty bad too:
Vick (#1 for #5 (Tomlinson), #67 (Tay Cody), #48 the following year (Reche Caldwell) and Tim Dwight)
Sanchez (#5 for #17 (Josh Freeman), #52 (David Veikune), Kenyon Coleman, Brett Ratliff and Abram Elam)

No way am I giving up very much to draft a WR.  With the way the rules favor receivers these days, there's no sense in paying a King's ransom to move to the top of the draft when you can probably stay put (or even trade back) and still find a more than adequate receiver. 

 

[ice grillin you]

how many lane johnsons would you like these days?

Holy shtein!

Football is and has always been won on the line of scrimmage. Know why Dallas won the other night? Had nothing to do with Dez Bryant and everything to do with the 10 seconds the Dallas o line gave to Romo to find an open receiver

it had more to do with the bullshtein fumble not being overturned and odb's insane catch than anything

having a good oline helps, but significant talent in the passing game is far more important.

And the fact the Giants grew a vagina and weren't blitzing the living daylights out of Romo.  They should have had people beating the farg out of him all game.

What's the difference between blowing your draft for one dude vs. drafting pathetically like the eagles? What's more crippling?

poty

[MDS]

do what you gotta do

[QB Eagles]

It worked for the Skins.

[MDS]

mark sanchez and nick foles are working for the eagles

[Don Ho]

bob3 was already damaged goods coming in and he plays for a really bad organization. 

[phattymatty]

He'd probably be a top 5-6 QB in the league for years if he didn't go to that abortion of a team. And I don't think his woe is me everyone hates me mcnabb attitude will allow him to ever be great again. tough luck bob.

Mariota was live on the local CBS radio station this afternoon, first time I'd heard him other than a few ESPN snippets. He seems like a very articulate and humble person.

[General_Failure]

Up until that post I assumed he was a white guy.

[MDS]

shady to the colts for their 1
eagles 1 and colts 1 to the panthers/saints/giants for their 1
use that pick to lead the package to get MM

give me your other stupid, nonsensical trade scenarios.
