So? Every swinging dick alive was saying it was a brother/brother courtesy thing when that trade went down. But now it's a point to be made when you want to whine?

Boring.
So you think giving up a 6th for a late 7th TE is a good deal. Noted.

Percy Harvin traded to Jets for 6th round pick.

Zac Stacy traded to Jets for 7th round pick.


I guess the Jets HC is brothers with the Seahawks and Rams HC's. Interesting.

Did I say that? Or even imply that? Or was it even mentioned? At all?

Holy shit. Talk about grasping for straws when you have absolutely nothing. Just admit an ignorant comment you made was just that. Ignorant.

Harvin's a head case who is now with the Buffalo Bills. That's what you want? Noted.

Ignorant comment? I made note of what we gave up to get a 7th round TE and what others have given given up to get players who actually have contributed in the league. I stand by that.

:lol

Percy Harvin is a problem child, and Zac Stacy is a JAG. Did someone bitchslap your pacifier out of your mouth or something?

:lol

So what is your take on giving up a 6th rounder for 7th round Swaim?

Didn't like it. Didn't see the need to trade back in for a guy that might or might not be there during UDFA.

Also don't see the need to carry on like a pimp slapped bitch over a future 6th round draft pick, or start grasping at straws bringing up good ol' boy trades, or trades for JAGs and problem children to try and prove to the world how OMG WE'RE TURRIBLE DAFTURS.

To be fair to VA though, Harvin is a problem child with a lot of talent. It isn't as though the Cowboys have shied away from bringing in guys like that. Quite the opposite, obviously. And Zac Stacy is JAG but he went for nearly 1000 yards and 7 TDs in 12 starts in 2013.

I think the point is, it does happen that productive NFL players get traded for 6th and 7th round picks, regardless of the circumstances surrounding them.

Bradshaw would be OK but he is broken down. Still productive when healthy but he certainly will not be healthy for a full season. Neither will McFadden I know, and Martin probably won't either, but I would err on the side of youth and take a chance on Martin. He has been shit since his rookie season but he was impressive that year. Love to see what he can do behind this OL.
That's my take. Bradshaw isn't anything different than McFadden, a limited aging RB who would be an emergency veteran to keep the wheels from falling off.

If you want to take a shot at getting a steal, it's taking a low risk gamble on Doug Martin's health. He's the one with actual talent.

The difference is Bradshaw averaged 4.7 YPC behind a shitty O-line. McFadden averaged like 3.4 behind a shitty offensive line. Indy as a team averaged 3.9 YPC. What that tells me is that Bradshaw did something none of the other backs on the roster could do. Anyone that actually watched some Colts games could tell you Bradshaw looked really good last year.

The only thing they have similar is age and durability concerns. What they do on the field isn't in any way similar.

Hilarious. You don't like it but don't let anyone else say they don't like it because we must protect our drafting honor. :lol

Please. I don't give a shit if you cry your little eyes out. I only commented on your retarded comparison of the trade for Boldin, and mentioned it was made between two brothers with a wink/wink as to why it was so cheap. I didn't say a single thing about the trade we made for some whogivesafuck TE.

The talent part is showing to be fading. I don't think either are that much better than we have and certainly not enough to make me want to trade resources for.

Just trying to catch up.
