First, A. Boldin is the perfect #1 WR for Chad Pennington. Why? Simple. Boldin compliments Pennington's style.
Boldin's forte is being QB friendly, making intermediate catches, and adding yards after catch...an area we were at the bottom half of the league in.
Boldin of course can catch the "throw it up in the air" bomb as well, making him a redzone threat....exactly what Parcells signed Wilford to be.
So complimenting Ginn Jr with A. Boldin, with a QB friendly duo of Camarillo and Bess as your slot guys make for a perfect WR corps for Chad Pennington to enter the 2009 season with to defend the AFC EAST CHAMPIONSHIP.
The question isn't do we have the cap space/money to give Boldin the contract he soooooooo much deserves...it is what will it take to aquire him. And can Parcells do it without hurting our draft?
I believe if anyone can, it's Parcells.
Parcells was able to aquire a 2nd round pick and a 7th rounder for Jason Taylor....at 34 years old!
Parcells was able to aquire Akin Ayodele and Anthony Fasano for the 4th round pick he aquired for Lorenzo Booker!
And he aquired a starting NT in Jason Ferguson for 2 6th round picks, one of which he ended up getting back by signing the player picked by DAL off of their practice squad!
Well, last April, reports have come out that 3 teams offered ARI a late 1st round pick for Aquoine Boldin. Hmm?
We pick at #25 in the first round, but have two 2nd round picks. Could Parcells send the #25 pick and say our 3rd round pick to ARI for Aquoine Boldin and ARI's 2nd round pick?
This would be like drafting AQuoine Boldin at #25 and move our 3rd round pick into the 2nd round, giving us three 2nd rounders!
I'd say something like that, would be worth it. Not saying "that" exactly, but Parcells could do some type of deal where though, we give up our 1st round pick, we basically just trade "down" in order to come away with our #1 WR that can highlight Pennington's skills.
I'd say go for it.
Now, we'd still have the #44 pick, ARI's 2nd rounder, and our 2nd rounder to find depth at LB, DB, and either NT or C, depending on which one we add via FA. Then, we'd still have our 4th round pick to add Pat White (according to reports is on Parcells agenda in the 4th round)...and we may still add a pick or so via a small trade like Satele or Roth or something like that and maybe a compensatory pick or so.
....and of course, we are going to upgrade via FA...
I'd say, go for it! I mean, who is so great at #25 that is so much better than what is going to be available at #44?
If we are going LB? I think LBs are still available at pick #44 that are just as good as pick #25. Why? Because the top 15 best players in the country are going to be long gone by pick #25.
