Everyday I hear how we are going to try to trade out of our spot in the draft. That would be OK if we are moving down and picking up additional picks, but the "so-called" experts say we are moving up and unloading a bunch of picks to do it. First, it was Cleveland that was going to trade us the #4 pick for our #8 and various other picks for compensation. Now, it is St. Louis that is going to pilfer picks from us just to ensure we do not lose out on Tannehill. Listen Tannehill is a good prospect and he seems to have what it takes to make it in the league, but he is not the end-all, be-all.
If we make this trade, we will be dealing with Rick Speilman. Yes, the guy that systematically gutted this team of talent. If we are dumb enough to deal with that Bozo then we deserve what we get.
Every year there are QBs that can come in and play in the NFL. I am not willing to screw up the entire draft so I can get this year's flavor-of-the-month. Believe it or not, Matt Moore can be a good QB if we put more weapons and protection around him. Do I think he is going to be the savior of the franchise or the second coming of Dan Marino? No. But he is capable and we do not have to lose all reason when it comes to the draft.
Next year, the draft has Matt Barkley, Landry Jones, and Tyler Wilson as top prospects in the draft and I am sure some more will emerge. Let's not be short-sighted in the short-term and screw our long term success. Have we not done that enough over the last 15yrs.?:rant:
