What? Why do we need a DE?

[gov_bean_ counter]

Lowdown on Spikes. Injured year before last. Not as productive last year as in years past.

Quinn will be another Ryan Leaf.

Not a chance. He might fall flat on his face, but it won't be because of the same attitude problem Leaf had. The most important thing in a QB is not how far he can throw a ball or his 40 time. It's between the ears. Who would you rather have, Joe Montana or Randall Cunningham? Randall could throw the ball further than Joe and run faster.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Good. It looks like the Cowboys kept the Browns pick for next year.

What the heck is going on with the Eagles?

I finally found it: the Eagles traded 1st round #26 to Dallas for 2nd round (#36 overall), 3rd round (#87 overall) and 5th round (#159 overall).

[Dog]

Bad...I bet WIP is going nuts.

[BJClinton]

Why do we need a DE?

He's a bit of a "tweener" and could play OLB in the 'Boys 3-4. He has blazing speed, extremely strong. Excellent trade for a 3rd and 5th. It seems Jones has his mojo back.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

It looks like they’ll use Spencer as a 3-4 LB, which only makes slightly more sense. We’re stacked at DE, but we’ve drafted an LB in the first three years in a row, not to mention using a second, too. DallasCowboys.com says the Cowboys haven’t used a 1st rounder on offense in ten years.

[GraniteStateConservative]

LaDainian Tomlinson, not Lawrence Taylor.

[Eric Blair 2084]

Who? We have 20 linebackers between Burnett, Ware, Carpenter, Ellis, Ayodele, James. Are we going to play a 1-6 defense this year under Wade?

[scott says]

Pats trade pick to 49ers and pass on Poslusny...
I’m not sure if thats good or bad.

[mainepatsfan]

I figured they’d trade this pick.

[scott says]

Did I read the ticker correct? Their next pick is # 91?

[misterrob]

For likely 12 spots up next year and a 4th?????

Should have gotten a second this year and next.

[PajamaTruthMafia]

I missed the details. What did they get in return?

[scott says]

Oh man...I don’t like it! I really thought they would get a impact LB or DB.

[mainepatsfan]

Nah you always take that first rounder when you can get it. They’re very expensive.

[mainepatsfan]

They obviously didn’t like who was left.

[misterrob]

They swapped a 1st rounder at 28 this year for a 1st rounder next year likely to be in the top 15 and a 4th.

Should have demanded a third this year as well.

[scott says]

I really thought they would get Poslusny or at least another DB.They don’t pick again until the third round. They need help at LB...maybe some trades are in the works.
