I agree
This was good for us. Allen is a risky investment. We will be able to load up on talent.

The guy didn't want to be here. He wouldn't sign a long term contract. As Herm would say "GET OVER IT!" CP was able to trade a guy who didn't want to be here and is now the highest paid defensive player in the league for the value of 2 1st round picks. Three additional players in the top 82 picks of a deep draft is another shot of B12 for a rebuilding team.

The way I see it, when you have studs on the O or D line, you don't run them out of town thinking they will be easily replaced through the draft. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with what we got for him in this trade, I just wish it shouldn't have gotten to this point in the first place - thanks Carl, you dink. |

I hate to see Jared go. He was the best we had on our defense no question.
Things change, people move on for whatever reasons. The NFL is a business. Don't take it personal. I think we got the best deal we could really ask for in my humble opinion. What it really comes down to is what players we draft. That can only be answered in another year or two i think. This will be a very interesting draft day. This might make a few people mad but i say trade down a few spots, still be able to pick up Clady and get another two picks, oh yeah!! |

However, what's done is done there and if you look at it as what it's been this entire year - Allen wanted out - CP did a great job at getting excellent compensation.

No thanks. We have 13 picks and need to get a top-5 player. If we want someone in the 12-15 range I'd rather we traded UP from #17 than DOWN from #5.

Its a pipe dream to say this is the same as 2 1st. I'd rather have 2 3rd than one 2nd based on the curse of the 2nd rounder for the Chiefs.

It's not a pipe dream. Going strictly by the NFL draft value chart the #73 and #82 picks this year are equivalent to the #17 or #18 overall pick next year.

Nobody will give you their 1st in 2009 for two thirds.

Straight up? No. However, you can package those two 3rds to move up into the 2nd round - and teams have traded next year's 1st round pick for a 2nd round pick.
