I agree with the 49ers, Bronco's, and Jets (actually on that front we might be even), but what did the Falcons do, besides let us comeback from ~17 points after halftime back in 2003 (Went to that game by the way :D)? And the Bears, well we screwed them over on that one.

They got Lelie and we took Duckett off of their hands for them. Denver got our 4th. 3 way trade that we ultimately got the shaft on.

Chicago should have given up a higher draft pick for Adam. We just didn't fight hard enough for it. It's all about supply and demand. We had the supply and they were in demand. We control the price, not them. He would have been the highest paid special teamer in history until Chicago ponied up a 4th round pick.

As to Arch, the man was dead weight and everybody knew it. The fact we got a 6th for him was amazing to me.

As for owing favors, if we start chasing down teams who took advantage of our inept trades - well, I think New Orleans and Carolina come knocking on our door (the Ricky and Sean Gilbert trades).

I think Williams and Arrington was a fair swap, because we sure as hell didn't get anything else with all of those picks. Thanks Charlie!

By the way, my statements were mostly sarcasim, some truth, but mostly sarcasim.

I still can't believe we're building through the draft. Kind of like a dream come true, huh?

Considering that the writing was on the wall that he would be cut, yes it was amazing. But what was more amazing was the Bears picked up the tab on a $5M bonus he was due in order to reduce our cap hit to a more manageable figure.

Almost forgot. Seattle needs a guard so they could be in the market to trade up for Albert. In which case we would get Seattles 1st (25th Overall) and their 2nd. After which we would probably draft Campbell or Phillips. This would prevent the Steelers from taking Albert, who at this point is the latest spot Albert would go.

The Seahawks signed Mike Wahle to play gaurd, so maybe not.

YOU DARE CHALLENGE MY EXCELLENT PREDICTION SKILLS!!! WHERE I SAY A 1,000 THINGS LIKE NOSTRODAMUS IN HOPES THAT ONE OF THEM COMES TRUE!!! Lol, jk.

However I will argue even though you bring up a good point the fact remains that the Seahawks drafted Chris Spencer when they had Reggie Toback at center in 2005. On top of that Walter Jones is getting up there in age, and the running game has suffered since they lost Steve Hutchinson.

To make matters worse Wahle was cut, and even if he does revert to his more dominant form the fact remains that he's still 31 years old, so he's not exactly a spring chicken. Anyway thats my argument for the Seahawks possibly making a move to pick up Branden Albert. Of course, in the end all of this is a big "if". Right now I'm just looking at possiblities. In the end our greatest chance to trade back would be if Kelly, Albert, Merling, Jenkins, and Talib were all available at 21.

Well, I hope you are right, because I like the idea of getting more picks. According to what I have heard Cerrato say, he likes the second and third round talent pool, better than the first.
