Don't see much interest for Rod Gardner

[redwagonskins]

I love how everybody thinks that because we draft some guy in the first round then we should get a first round pick in exchange. The guy can't catch!! We'll be lucky to get a mid round pick for him. Nobody in their right mind is going to trade a first or even a second with the receivers (though not spectacular) that are available especially for a guy, who once again, can't catch!

i didn't say i wanted a first round pick for him. i would like to see a second round pick at the most. i know thats asking for alot. i would just want something higher than a fourth round pick for him.

[redwagonskins]

I hear you Mooby and I hope the Chargers and Marty are just dumb enough to do it. I just think that most teams rather pick up a receiver in the draft (1st or 2nd round) then get Gardner. Maybe if the top 6 or so are off the board early, we might be able to get a late 2nd but I'm thinking realisticaly that we'll get no higher than a 3rd. Hope I'm wrong. Maybe Marty gives up the 1st they got from the Gints!

[mooby]

lol he would really have to be stupid to do that. i think the only way marty would give up a second round pick is because he's the one that drafted gardner and he likes him. maybe he would be willing to do that. anything in or higher than the fourth round would be good.

The ideal trade:

R Gardner, M Barrow and R Roayl

for

A Gates, D Edwards and Q Jammer


Hey, I can dream, can't I?

[mooby]

wow. you know that would never happen. but you can still dream.

I think that Gardner is worth about a 5th rounder. Since several teams are interested, and there are very few free agent WRs out there, I'll bet there becomes a decent market for him and maybe they bid it up to a 4th rounder. But you'll never get a 3rd or higher, cause he just plain sucks. We wiffed on that pick.

To tell you the truth, I don't think we need to draft a WR. If we did end up with Williams or Williamson, I'd be happy. But I don't think a WR is really needed. I like our corps as it is, reminds me BIG TIME of the Patriots WRs from last year. All small, all fast, all good route-runners. None will be big-time stars. Branch was a bit better than the rest of the Pats WRs, and the same can be said for Moss. Of course, one common thread obviously is Patten.

Drafting a WR would work for me, but I also would be happy with Pac-Man Jones or a defensive end.

See I disagree. Who are these teams gonna get in the 4th or 5th round who is as good and talented as Rod Gardner? I would much rather have Rod than a 4th/5th rounder. I could see a team not wanting to part with a 2nd rounder, but I think a 3rd is pretty accurate price.

I completely agree. Jesus, I was somewhat disconcerted to hear we might not even get a 3rd rounder. If we get a 5th rounder I'll be pissed.

It would've been nice had Sndyer had his way instead of Marty and we drafted Moss to begin with.

But don't you think that Moss would have been misused, or even not used at all, in Marty's offense? Big guys like Gardner and even Derrius Thompson is what Marty's offense was all about, not a burner like Moss

Then why in the hell did Marty bring over Jaques Green?

[SmootSmack]

Marty was long gone before Spurrier brought Jacquez Green in

A very good point Smootsmack. But, I'm looking at it all in retrospect...we fired Marty and got Spurrier and we just lost Coles.
