You'll never get the value that a good running back can provide this team this year.

If Zeke is suspended or injured I want both McFadden and Morris.

Let's not get cute and lose precious depth for an utterly useless conditional 6th or 7th round pick.

Tom Brady. I mean, we can go on and on.
Tom Brady scoffs at it as well.
Well, yeah. But I was only thinking about our team. We could include a lot more depending on how far we wanted to go back. Patrick Crayton, Eugene Lockhart, George Andrie, Brock Marion, Rayfield Wright, Bob Hayes, etc... If we were to include 6th and 7th rounders from every team...?

We'd get a conditional 6th st best. These draft choices are useful, but big picture they're almost worthless to us right now when we're trying for our 6th Lombardi.

How would you feel if we failed in a Super Bowl run because we couldn't run the football having traded away a 1200 yard back for a pittance?

An additional fifth or sixth is Brown or Woods. I'll take that all day long.

Yep. People constantly bitch about hanging on to players too long, and then getting nothing. But when the possibility of actually moving somebody from a position where you have numbers for a draft pick is there?

NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo.....

It won't be a 5th and probably not a 6th.

We're talking 7th. I don't dare touch my depth in a contending year. Same people were likely talking about trading Leary before Collins went down.
