NFL Network: Bears' Briggs, 31st Pick for Skins' 6th Pick?

Just caught the MORT REPORT on ESPN LIVE: His take at this point was this whole deal is nothing but a whole lotta noise! NO ACTION.

Stated DREW is the best at making the MOST noise, OF COURSE.

I hope this falls apart!

Now, as for your clarified point, I addressed that one as well earlier in the thread. No franchised player is actually worth 2 first rounders. Just because the CBA says that's the price, that doesn't make the underlying player actually worth that much.

Just for the heck of it here is what some franchise players have been traded for:

Sean Gilbert-Redskins to Panthers for two firsts (right?)

Champ Bailey-well you know how that went down

Peerless Price-Bills to Falcons for a first round pick (#23 overall)

John Abraham-Jets to Falcons for a first round pick (#29 overall)

If true, we would be getting bent over.

How would we be getting bent over by receiving a two time pro-bowler and a playmaking linebacker for 26 spots in the draft?

Who's to say we wouldn't still get one of the D-lineman that we are looking at with the 31st pick?

What if Washington is more hurt than they are letting on?

Makes sense to me...does it scare you too that we're starting to agree more lately?

Good Points.

Have we heard much about Washingtons recovery?

IMO the 6th pick in this draft is not going to get us a player of Briggs' quality. He would start straight away, making an immediate impact and we already know how good he is.

Could there also be a chance of trading Marshall for a 4th or 5th round pick? Seems we'd cut him anyway, why not try for another pick.

That said, our needs are clearly D-Line. I am on the (d)fence on this trade, there are good points and bad points, i think it would all depend on what we can get for Marshall and who we took with the 31st.

there is no way on this earth we'd cut marshall besides a career ending injury. he has 2 years left on his deal at vet min. even if he's only your #4, you can't beat his contract value.

bad bad move. we need briggs like we need another hole in our heads. Keep the pick and get the best player available. End of story.

I knew that I would wear you down eventually!

They need Marshall. He is insurance on the inside and outside. Also, he will see some decent playing time even though he may not start.

Good point, but even vet min could be wasted money if we could trade him and get depth some where with a greater need. Seems like Rocky would be a very good back up at this point at LB.

Do you think that anyone would want to trade for him?

If so, what is he worth? He can play several positions and would be a good additon to alot of teams.
