Bram Weinstein: stay put at No. 6

Here's his two cents. He covers the Skins, I usually respect his opinion and this is definitely a different view.

Actually he makes the most sense. For the life of me, I don't get the fascination over Bly. If he's not a huge upgrade over what we have, and he isn't, why are we playing musical chairs with draft picks?

Just draft the damn guy we need on defense, and let the chips fall where they may.

Please please please read this Dan Snyder.

He makes a good point, but leaves out something crucial; the Skins are thus far not enamored w/G. Adams or A. Branch according to JLC. For that reason, they don't want to pay #6 money to a guy they can get at say #15, or the Broncos #21. Big difference in $ between those picks.

When looking at it that way, the Skins would benefit w/the pick & less cap for their top rookie. Plus, if Springs doesn't want to be here (who knows the real truth?) & Bly does, we get a corner who is at least equal plus 2 years younger.

I don't want to trade Springs & I have reservations about the Bly deal, but I'm at least encouraged that the front office is asking for more rather than giving everything to Denver.

Honestly, I don't think I agree. He kind of contradicts himself in saying, "Stop paying old players and build through the draft."

Ummm, isn't that exactly what they're doing if they make the Bly deal?

3 picks in the draft versus possibly 7 or 8? I would think that DRAFTING 7 or 8 players qualifies as building through the draft.

If we stay at six, that's all we get. We get no replacement for Dock, we get no other picks until the late rounds. The chances of those REALLY panning out are VERY slim.

If we get a 1st 2nd and 3rd I understand it. If we get a 1st and a 3rd we are a joke.

This article makes NO sense. Why pay a high bonus for someone unless you're dead sure they're going to be the second coming?

This team needs depth, we're not one stud player away. We need to build through more picks.

We have too many needs to stay put at #6. Denver seems hot and heavy about trading up so I say milk them for everything we can. Switching #1's with them and adding a 2nd and a 3rd would be huge. I really don't see what there is to hate about a deal like that.

f-ck Bly...we need to do a straight draft pick trade with Denver in which they compensate us according to the chart. That would mean all 4 of Denvers 1st day picks. Denver wants to toss Bly into the deal and overstate his value and rip us off in the process. If we get a 1st & 2nd and Bly for the 6th pick then we basically spent two 3rd round picks on a 30 year old CB! That trade is awful as reported!
