Yeah, I'd say this was a good deal on Carl's part (ouch I hate to say that...). We filled the QB position, got a legitimate kick returner and maybe 3rd WR and have a 5th round pick that can be used to move upwards.
Today I was very, very frustrated because I was certain that we were going to pay 1st and 3rd for Green, and then this comes out. Like a lead weight being lifted off of me. |

How do you figure he is a carrer backup? If memory serves me correct before Baltimore drated J. Lewis Holmes was a 1000 yd rusher

In retrospect, this deal was going to be done all along.
It was just a matter of time before the Rams realized they were asking way too much for him. Especially in light of the deal today which sent Vick to Atlanta. That deal really swung the pendulum in our favor, IMO. You can't give a 1st and a 3rd for Green after that. The Rams knew they were being arrogant, and it's a shame that a lot of the media didn't play it that way. |

Honestly, I like him as a backup...But the last thing we need is to overpay for a backup RB...We already have a stable full of back up RB's...I seen a couple interviews with Holmes and he is a really good guy, a single father that raises his son by himself etc.etc... Really appears to be a classy guy but we need a feature back...Not another band aid....

Outside prospective...
Pretty good deal for the Rams in that they do the deal without giving up a 1st.... They give up their #2 QB, who with Germaine sitting there makes them feel better, their 4th WR and a late pick for #12...
3 1st Rders in this draft is gold... Good deal for the Chiefs in they get VD's guy, keep their 3rd and get a return guy.... Plus no 1st RD bonus or old out this year.... Worked out pretty well for both sides... but I would love to have the Rams draft board personally... Rams Lite 'tis! |

Throw in the other two caveats, and this deal looks great. I mean after all, Bubby Brister. Chiefs.com released a statement, obviously before Green, stating Bubby was backing up and tutoring Todd Collins, now where do we go? Do we even draft a QBOTF in the later rounds? Also not sure we might not package a couple 3s and 4s, for a second.

Yeah, JQ, that Ram draft board is sure enviable.
I was surprised to see we still have 9 draft picks left... too bad none are above 75. Still, it looks like we're finally getting our starting QB, are in the process of signing our RB for 2001, or at least another challenger, and have upgraded our KR immediately if we can keep Horne away from the wacky weed. Not bad for one day...- |

No, Horne is now a Chief, according to reports, he was part of the trade (#12 for Green, Horne and #150).
