Recent draft day trade "blockbusters" show just how good of a GM Gettleman is.

[heel31ok]

I'm just glad that he won't do something like trade a future 1st rounder for Everette Brown or Jeff Otah. I still shudder at the stupidity.

Otah was a good pick.

[AceBoogie]

I've never seen so much of a slurp feat for a man whose team declined

[GoobyPls]

People forget we got Olsen through a trade, I don't know why we don't try to trade more often.

Avoiding doing anything blatantly stupid on a consistent basis automatically gets you in the top third of GMs.

Or trade a second rounder for a special teams guy that probably wouldn't have been drafted until 2 rounds later.

Worse considering Jimmy Graham was still avaliable as well

[PanthersUnited]

falcons went all out to win a superbowl the year after they drafted julio, They had a deep playoff run but yeah

I will be perfectly honest, I don't hate the trade, Julio has been a beast for them even though his play dropped off a bit and we know first hand he's been a nightmare for us up until recently, let's not forget Nakamuragate a couple seasons back :::shudders::::

I'm just glad we have gettleman ..

[XClown1986]

Otah was a good pick.

Giving up a 1st round pick wasn't a good investment on a player that we really only got two years of production out of.

This reads like something that would be on NFL.com

There is also this year, last year the Bills traded that years #9 + 2015 1st and 4ths to the Cleveland Browns to move up to 4th and Select Sammy Watkins.. so Bills gave up 2 top20 picks (and #115) to move up 5 spots to grab a WR for their "Franchise QB" Manuel, we will see if Watkins is worth it, currently they don't have anyone who can throw him the ball as Manuel has busted hard

Manuel hasn't busted yet. I still have faith in the kid.

I think Roddy White made the Nakamura catch but I agree that wasn't a horrible trade.

[Gabeking]

But let's trade star for Amari Cooper right

[Lumps]

We're better than the Browns, yay!
