NFL Network: Bears' Briggs, 31st Pick for Skins' 6th Pick?

I should have been more clear. "Later in the draft" i meant the 31st pick for the DL. something in the works, Springs being dealt pick or player, Betts, Portis being dealt for picks. A lot of rumors fly about 1 of our RB's getting dealt on draft day. Or, it could just be one of those players you just can't pass up on, for basically nothing. WE ARE GETTING A 26 YEAR OLD STUD, FOR NOTHING! WE STILL GET TO KEEP A 1st ROUND PICK. I just can't see whats wrong with that. We are not losing picks, we are gaining a stud, and still have a pick to take a lineman. seems like people think we are giving up 2nd and 3rd round picks. we still have a pick in the 1st round. not the 6th, but still the 1st round.

This point has been written here yet again, even after I remember shooting it down. This is what you get for repeating a dumb point: you sir, are a moron. We're not getting him for nothing. You do realize the difference in talent between the guys available at 6 and the guys available at 31?

Not to mention what we could get in a trade by moving down from 6 in exchange for picks. If I were a mod, I'd ban you for being retarded.

Note to self: scratch Schneed off the potential mod list. ;)

The redskins franchise needs to take a few finance classes. Sell high, buy low. They do the absolute opposite. Snyder needs to go back to Finance 101. If this goes through, two seasons from now Lance Briggs will be worth maybe a 2nd round draft pick, and whoever goes 6th will probably be the mvp of the league. Id rather go after calvin johnson than lance briggs.

Damn!

Now I have to begin proving myself all over again.

Fine, no ban. But if I were a mod I'd summon PWNED via the bat-PWNED signal.

Snyder aces Finance 101, easily. He doesn't do so well in Management 101, particularly in regards to chapter of Team Building.

I feel like his ego overtakes his reason and he makes irrational decisions that go against everything someone would learn in school when it comes to managing the redskins. Cause that's what he is, an owner/manager.

Can we cease with the "and we keep a first round pick" BS?

Yes it is technically a 1st round pick but it is no more valuable because it has a special name like "1st round pick". It is a far worse draft pick period than the 6. The fact that it remains in the 1st round shouldn't mean it is infinitely more valuable than say the 1st pick in the 2nd round, which by the way happens to be ONE PICK LATER. I don't care that the pick is in the 1st round. I care that we are taking a 25 spot drop.

[QUOTE=GTripp0012;291844Unless Quinn, Thomas, or Johnson do fall, the Bears really don't have a good pick at 6. It may not be worth it for them to make this deal, despite all the value they are getting for Briggs.[/QUOTE]

That's crazy talk. A #6 pick is never a bad thing especially in a very good draft and especially for a guy who many times has publicly said he won't play for Chicago again, unless it's the "I'll sit for 10 games and play 6" ploy. And the Bears won't be coughing up the monster salary he wants. If anything, the Bears have plenty of options with that pick.

Briggs has wanted the spotlight on himself for a long time. He's on a defense surrounded by Pro-Bowlers...if he goes to the Redskins he'll get the chance to see he's everything he thinks he is, or a by-product of that defense up there. Don't get me wrong, he's a very good linebacker...but playing next to guys like Tommie Harris, Urlacher, etc doesn't hurt. If he wants out, fine....and if the Bears can get a #6 pick then that's a steal for them, even giving up the #31 also.

seriously, is that needed? you know people are really brave on this f'n site. grow up. calling one a moron is really mature.

if you can read the point I made : franchise player require two first round picks - we are not losing a 1st round pick to aquire a franchised player. This is what I meant. 2nd, we were looking to trade down to aquire more picks. We essentially get to trade down to a late 1st and get a 26 year old LB which is worth a hole hell of a lot more than any 2nd or 3rd round player we would have drafted.

3rd - if you want to continually act like a fool you have every right to do so. But please refrain from calling me or anyone else a moron. that is totally uncalled for and childish. I would expect everyone here can have a civil conversation regarding a potential trade without getting into a pissing match. I would hope a "MOD" would certainly not act that way, and also the other "MODS" take notice of your insults. apology accepted.

I agree with your general sentiments regarding the trade, but there's no need to personally attack the guy. Chill.......chill. I hate it when people get into personal attacks, causing threads to go total awry and off into a direction that no one cares about other than the two people involved.
