Would You Trade Our 3rd Rnd Pick For Boldin?

Hell yes, a 3rd rounder for Boldin should be a no brainer. Come on, he's younger than:
chambers ochocinco wayne houshmanzadeh coles santana moss randy moss owens ward driver All of which were extremely productive at Boldin's age and for year(s) after. a year older than: roddy white wes welker andre johnson Who are still considered in the prime of their career. The assumption we'd be buying a broken down car is ridiculous. We would be getting a proven, elite, veteran wide reciever to bring some leadership and playmaking to our offense at a position we obviously need. Any 3rd rounder is a gamble - this is not. We may not be 'on the verge', but if we're doing this right - we should be a playoff caliber team in 2012 when Boldin would still be a very viable #1 WR. I would take him over any wr past the 1st round in this year's draft. |

The guy is a stud, but he's only played a full schedule 2 years he's been in the league. He's a physical receiver who takes a lot of hits. He's not a burner or a shifty guy like the other receivers you list. His body is not going to hold up forever with the way he plays. The assumption that we are going to get a ton of miledge out of him is ridiculous. This Chiefs team should not be giving ANYONE their third contract unless it's a minimum deal. I don't care who he's younger than, I wouldn't give any of those guys any substancial contract either besides Reggie Wayne. |
Moves like this are moves you make if your Super Bowl bound.

Incidentally, I would happily give contracts to Roddy or Andre. Wide recievers through the draft have been proven to take around 3 years to develop. Hypothetically, that would mean that if we looked to use that 3rd on a wr - Cassel is 30 and Charles is 26 before we even have a legitimate recieving core. We can greatly shorten the time it takes to become a contender by getting a good, prime of his career wr for a 3rd rounder? I'll take that every time. |
I like how people look at contracts for now and don't give a shit how bad they will **** you over in a few years ROFL

30 for a WR isn't THAT old... they usually don't start to slow down until they turn about 33-34. It's probably worth it, it's only a 3rd...

i dont think hes worth it at this point In his career and with his injury issues Posted via Mobile Device |
its also funny that everyone assumes a 3rd alone will get it done. The OP says a third AND A PLAYER were offered and THAT deal MAY be enough to get it done

30 isn't old for a WR like Boldin because his game isn't speed, he's never really been fast.
He's worth more than a 3rd, he's a legit 1, basically if Bowe became everything he could be he'd be Boldin to act like drafting someone like Mardy Gilyard is a better option is pretty naive. |

This is a pretty horrid WR draft on top of that, but I disagree with his style of play shortening his career.
His game not being speed should help him. |
No to Boldin. He's declined the last two seasons. If he came cheap then yes, take a shot buyt he won't come cheap so I say no.

I didn't hear many of you complaining when we traded a 3rd for Willie Roaf. He was already beyond his prime when we made the trade, but was well worth the trade for his service to KC. Boldin would provide a sililar service in adding a legitimate playmaker at WR to force opponents to respect the pass. When they do, JC will have a field day and shred opposing defenses with the run.
We acquired a 2nd for Gonzo, what's wrong with giving up less for a younger Boldin? |
