Re: Moss for Coles?
 

I really think the Vikings will pursue a free agent WR. If you look at that team, they're not really looking for a rookie WR to groom. I think they're looking for an experienced, proven WR. Also, they desperately need help on defense. The offense is fine even without Moss.

Re: Moss for Coles?
 

I think I agree. I was worried at first that they would want a WR, but the more I think about it I think they will draft defense.

Well Celts, looks like I might be wrong on my assumption. This will not make you happy.

But remember this is a "mock" draft, and free agency hasn't started yet.

Re: Moss for Coles?
 

Given the circumstances (Coles doesn't want to be here, Coles' toe, Moss is young, Moss has speed, and we need a wideout), I don't think this is a bad trade. It's true, Moss hasn't developed into a true #1 yet. It's true that Coles has already shown that he can be a monster when healthy. But, beggars can't be choosers.

Re: Moss for Coles?
 

I never really like S. Moss, even coming out of college. He remindes of another small WR that we drafted very high out of Michigan way back in the day. We do need a speed WR, but I want one with some size and strength. Plus I do not want my #1 or #2 WR returning kicks, he will never make through an entire season healthy.
One other thing about S. Moss is it seems that what ever WR that plays with Chad Pennington shows well and ends up with great numbers. I am not sure if S. Moss is a product of a good QB in a good system.

Re: Moss for Coles?
 

I think the better trade would be for one unhappy player for another. So it would be John Abraham for Coles straight up. Coles is a top ten reciever in the league in a struggling offense, so he has enough value. otherwise I'd take the Ravens first for Coles

Re: Moss for Coles?
 

I wanted Abraham!!!!!!!!!:banghead:

[QUOTE=Funbunchfan]I wanted Abraham!!!!!!!!!:banghead:[/QUOTE]

we can still get him, remember we franchised Champ then traded him off. So it's a serious possibility.

Re: Moss for Coles?
 

I think Snyder just wanted to get a "Moss", and since the other one now resides in Oakland.......

But it is better than having to release Coles and get zilch in return.

This is a great trade for us, and it adds another U guy.

I don't put much faith in mock drafts. it's the easy assumption to assume that the Vikings will take a WR with the pick that they traded Moss for. i still think when it comes down to it they will address that horrible defense in the first round. If Mike Williams is not available at #9 I think that will be becasue someone else other than Minnesotta took him.

I Dont Like It
 

i do not like the idea coles 4 moss. i rather trade coles to either jets or ravens 4 picks. moss hasnt played up to his hype coming out of miami + i dont think he's played a full year. i say this cause multiple picks in the first round would help us more. with our pick we can take Willaims WR or Rolle, if we take a corner then we can grab a WR' with one of their 1st rounders. I said this in January we need a [B]GODAMN GM and FIRE VINNY CERRATO.[/B] . did we not learn this past year especially on the DEF that names dont win games.
