We lost more than we gained. It's a bad trade no matter what you guys want to make yourselves believe. If your plan is to run a franchise for one season it's wonderful, but long term it was stupid as **** and very short sighted.

Are you ****ing high? I mean, seriously. Crack is whack.
You really think a #29 pick was going to produce like Frank Clark over the next few seasons-especially 2019? And 2020? and 2021? Incredibly unlikely. The REASON you want cap flexibility is for the ability to...well, do things like this-get a proven playmaker, young, in his prime, no injury history. We can frontload Clark's deal some and spread it out. It's a smart move. AND he's 25 ****ing years old. He's just in his prime years.
We gave up a late #2. We gained 10 spots in the 3rd this year.
Clark and Jones are going to wreck offensive lines for the next several years. This defense just took a MAJOR step forward.
You guys are nuts.
I have off the field concerns with Clark, but as a player, this is a MAJOR, HUGE talent increase.
