If we traded Richard Marshall

Recommended Posts

and got an additional 2nd round pick for him, would you be fine trading one of our 2nds this year in a type of trade that SF did to us and Seattle did to Denver? ie our 2010 2nd & 4th rounder for their 2011 1st rounder.

or would we use it to replace Marshall or fix WR/DL problems?

No, i'd rather do what we did last year and add another second round pick for our first rounder next year. The draft next year has to be much more weak with the strike looming large. All the really good juniors are leaving this year, so the draft will be populated by a very weak senior class. What Juniors will declare for the draft next year when there is a good chance no football will be played. It would be smarter to go ahead and get the degree and enter the draft the next year. The only way i could see this working for our favor would be if they are trying to beat the rookie cap, but then again that might be getting put in place this year. In my opinion this draft is much stronger than next years will be, and we can get some very quality players in the second round this year that would probably be comparable to the first rounders next year. Also we are only a few pieces away from competing for a championship, especially with the way our schedule is setting up.

    • Don't look now, but a 3-game win streak, including 2 on the road in back-to-back games. The Canes haven't won 3 straight since the middle of November, over 2 months ago.  Canes held Dallas to 23 SOG, with a lot of those coming in a late game flurry. Canes have had some difficulty keeping SOG down to where we're used to seeing them. The Dallas game was reminiscent of the defense we saw early in the season- standing teams up at the blue line and making zone entry a real pain in the pads. 
    • Agreed with a lot of this. Couple thoughts, especially towards the OL/future cap things... First, I hope Bryce is good enough to command being paid a Top 5 QB salary. Great news for us if so. But as of now, I think he'd be in that mid-tier range, so that $60 gets cut to 30-40. Baker to Stafford range. Obviously the cap will go up and $60 might be the new mid-tier, but either way I think we're fine here. He either continues to ascend and gets paid Top 5 money because he's that good and thank God. Or, he shows he's Baker level, gets a competitive offer that's outside the Top 10, and we're "saving" money (but also paying someone who may not be the "guy" in that scenario).  The OL is the biggest thing going forward IMO. You're 100% right here about the need for an OL, paying them, % of the cap, etc. Which is why in the next couple of drafts, we HAVE to absolutely nail a couple OL picks. We can't realistically tie up that much money in our OL. So we better turn into the Cowboys the late 2010s and constantly have a revolving cycle of a couple highly paid pieces, with drafted guys who step up and take their place once we have to move on. One highly paid OT, one highly paid OG, and then find rookie deals or cheaper vets that fit well.  Point being, we're teetering on the edge of a few foundational pieces being here now. IF, and history isn't on our side here, we can nail the next couple of drafts...we're in a good spot when it comes to the cap and future. If we don't find a couple of defensive cornerstones and find reliable OL depth that can take over for Hunt/Moton/Lewis as they age or contracts balloon...that's when we're right back in hell IMO. No pressure, Dan.
