Brown opts to go to Denver

We're on the same page, djnemo. I agree and I share your optimism.

fucking champ bailey

Brown missed like 47 games-maybe in the draft we can land Dan Cody or Shaun Cody or Matt Roth at DE

I wonder if there aren't any true "studs" left with out pick if we could trade our pick and end up with a combination of a good DE/CB.

We could very easily land one of those players, but it would prove to be at the expense of a WR or CB in the first round. The only way we will end up with one of those players is if we trade WAY down in the first round, like into the mid-20s. The only way I see that happening is if one of the QBs or RBs falls inexplicably and someone is willing to give up the world (and by world, I mean their late first rounder, plus their first round pick next year and a 3rd this year) to get them. I don't see that happening.

Jovan Haye is a good target in the 3rd round. He has great pass-rush ability. In the first, as I see it, we will narrow it down to only 5 possibilities if we stay at number 9: Mike Williams, Braylon Edwards, Pac-Man Jones, Antrel Rolle, and Shawne Merriman. It is assured that at least 3 and probably 4 of those players will be gone. If we trade down, I could see us adding probably 5 players to that list: Troy Williamson, Roddy White, Carlos Rogers, Heath Miller and Erasmus James, depending on how the draft breaks down and how far we drop.

like I said earlier, I hope brown, blows out his ass, that doesn't mean that there in the superbowl, I posted earlier, and I stick by it, F#$^ Brown, I can care less, this offseason has been a pain in the ass, we can't keep our own, All Brown was doing was waiting for Denver to up the price, because why not come to a team that is 3rd, instead of going to a team that was torched by the Colts, what the hell are we not saying or is saying thats running everyone off

We're saying that we're not the Redskins of old who would most likely have paid about 5x what Brown is worth.

This is a possibility, and I have a few ideas how it could go down, especially considering that we should look at WR in the draft also. I will offer several different scenarios, one which gets a CB, one which gets a DE first, one which gets a WR first, etc. and we can see how everyone likes either one. Both assume that we trade with the Saints, although obviously there are a few other teams that would want to trade up. I assume that the Saints are moving up to get Derrick Johnson, and we get our 2nd rounder (#40) back from them as compensation for moving down.

Option 1 (CB, DE, WR): We select Carlos Rogers at 16, Justin Tuck or Matt Roth at 40, and perhaps Vincent Jackson, Matt Jones, or Fred Gibson at 76. The flaw here of course is that the Chiefs might take Rogers at 15, thus screwing our plan.

Option 2 (CB, WR, DE): We select Rogers at 16, Chris Henry or Reggie Brown at 40, and Jovan Haye at 76.

Option 3 (DE, WR, CB): We select Erasmus James at 16, Henry or Brown at 40, and perhaps Darrent Williams, Stanley Wilson, or Domonique Foxworth at 76.

Option 4 (DE, CB, WR): We select James at 16, Marlin Jackson or Bryant McFadden at 40, and Jackson/Jones/Gibson at 76.

Option 5: (WR, CB, DE): We select Troy Williamson or Roddy White at 16, Jackson or McFadden at 40, and Haye at 76.

Option 6: (WR, DE, CB) We select Williamson/White at 16, Tuck/Roth at 40, and Williams/Wilson/Foxworth at 76.

My favorite option remains staying at 9 and taking Mike Williams, then probably adding Stanley Wilson at 76. But of these trade down options, I probably prefer the first one which which could add C. Rogers, J. Tuck, and V. Jackson.

Any other opinions on this?

Ramseyfan you where correct about C. Brown-5yrs. missed 33 games and was not very productive when he did play. Daniels will be back- but he is no big sack DE- In my opinion a pass rushing DE should be the priority-we will all find out on draft day-still 3 wks. away

what about M. Wiley (da dude), marques douglas, or ed jasper.

oh well brown's loss this season jus feels different we will go far.
