I'm guessing it will be a conditional pick. This sucks for Dorsey, though. I don't really see him working out as a 3-4 end. Maybe he'll get traded before the draft?

We're talking about a guy who has shown he can hit on late round picks, so yeah, it is that big of a deal. A 6th/7th round pick at least has a CHANCE of being a contributor when this team is competing for a Championship in 3-4 years. There is NO CHANCE that Vrabel is still on this team when that day comes. |

They'd rather have Kevin Robinson over Mike Vrabel...or Brian Johnston. They want a roster full of 25 year old's with off-the-chart measurables... These guys are going to HATE Pioli...the Patriots do things their way...these DRAFTURBATORS aren't going to like it...the ones that wanted Carl gone the most are going to be the ones that end up missing him more than anyone. |

Yeah, true, this is admittedly wishful thinking on my part. Vrabel's still got enough left in the tank, though, that I wouldn't be psyched if it was a fifth or later.

Why don't you people freak out or something. BFD. We probably lost a 7th rounder. Too bad we're gonna miss out on this year's Micheal Merrit for an on-field coach who can show these idiots what the **** to do, because they OBVIOUSLY have no idea.

I don't have a problem with the move. We need leadership on defense in a bad way, and Pioli probably wants a few cops in the locker room. Further, I think we'll be acquiring one or two draft picks for existing players on our roster.
Heck, if Vrabel is worth a draft pick and Ryan Sims was worth a 6th round pick, LJ has to be worth something. Waters would probably fetch a 2nd or 3rd, although I'm not convinced that won't be worked out. |

We need to hire Paul DePodesta or something.

I don't care if there is only a 5% chance of landing a good player in round 7. 5% is > 0. You think it's a coincidence that teams like the Colts and Chargers are able to consistently find talent at the ass end of the draft? Players are there, but if you don't have picks, you can't find them, no matter how good your scouting is.

So they can learn from a leader like Vrabel and his work ethic so in 3-4 years when he's GONE they can pass down what they learned to the younger guys that are brought in at that time. Do you really not understand this concept? YOU NEED VETERANS...EVEN A TEAM THAT IS REBUILDING...YOU NEED GUYS THAT HELP THE YOUNG KIDS KEEP FOCUS. JFC /DaneMcCloud |
