Although according to the trade charts a 1st next year ='s a 2nd this year

they both have their perks. On one hand, you can cash in now and we could really use a first round talent on the defensive line. Plus that extra third will permit us to get an extra depth player.

...on the other hand, you double your amount of first day picks for next year. You basically do what I like to call "team stock investing". It basically means that, say it was the Browns that gave the second offer. Depending on how good or bad the Browns are in 2009 dictates how high or low the first rounder they gave to us will be. So we could conceivably be picking in the top 10 in 2010 with the chance to trade down and accumulate even more picks. Plus, this isn't really the deepest draft in overall talent this year anyway.

the real tradeoff is time. and that's why the trade charts say what they say.

Can't decide until we know which teams we are talking about. If it is Kansas City they may or may not be a top 10 pick next year but definitely are a number 3 pick this year. On the other hand a team like NE will be a a 23rd pick this year and likely a later pick next year. That would make a big difference. A 3 pick next year might be worth more than a number 23 pick this year.

Right now ths poll is lame without more specifics.

      SI Panthers Mock Draft

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Spoken like someone who hasn't watched nearly enough of T-Mac other than a few short highlight clips to know his game. The only thing he doesn't have is the short area quickness in the way that you're looking for, as you seem to want that Jefferson/Chase type of WR, which sure, he's not that. But him and XL are nothing alike, let alone having the same strengths and weaknesses.  In particular, T-Mac's #1 strength is LITERALLY XL's #1 weakness, their hands.  T-Mac has vice grips for hands, catches darn near everything, and does it all with hands catches, the opposite of XL.   Beyond that, you mention prioritizing route running, of which, T-Mac already runs a complete NFL route tree at a high level.  Yes, he needs to work on his get off the line at the snap and get a little crisper on some of his cuts to create separation, but again, all players need to work on something, that's just what his is.  It doesn't change that he is already a great route runner, there are just some small elements of it that he can improve on. Even then, it's like I've been saying, the trade off of not having that true elite separation like the smaller WR's get, is how good he is at using his body to keep the DB's from being able to break up passes and just making contested catches in general.  You lose a little bit of separation, but his 6'5" body gives him advantages that the smaller WRs just don't have. Again, your post here insinuates that T-Mac is a slow, plodding big WR who isn't a proficient route runner, which couldn't be further from the truth.  I have no issue with people wanting other players over T-Mac, or just not wanting him at all.  But they need to be logical reasons, not made up ones in your head because you don't actually know the player and his abilities.
