Re: NFL Live: Dre Bly Rumors

I honestly don't think going after a high priced CB is in the best interest of the skins this year. We are strapped for cash and we need to stop looking for a way to get good quickly. A much LESS RISKY and higher possibility of reward scenario would be:

1)Trading down our #6 pick to a team that needs a QB (b/c brady quinn will probably still be on the board) or a defensive player (like St Louis, Green Bay or Tennessee) for a middle 1st rounder and a 2nd round pick.

2) We could then still get one of our defensive linemen (branch, anderson, adams, or okoye) and use the 2nd round pick to draft again on defense (possibly a CB, with potential that needs a year or two to develop, maybe Josh Wilson?).

3) In FA, pick up a cheaper immediately able to start CB like Smoot. And hopefully sign London Fletcher.

This gives us spread out risk for our draft picks (aka two young defensive players with potential rather than one pick who could be a bust). It saves us a bunch of money, money which we can use to re-sign dockery. It also gives us depth if any injuries were to happen as well as leverage for any possible trades. Most importantly it lays the foundation for a good future. We would have young players with upside without putting ourselves in salary cap hell down the road and we would keep our 2008 picks. Then we can chase the big name FA's and draft picks next March when we are trying to figure out what went wrong in 2007, haha. But at least we would have not been the usual spend-thrifty skins for one year.
