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

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 tend to agree with you but as he pointed out he did totaly refute your statement and you blew right on past it and didn't seem to even notice. I can understand his frustration. Lots of people do that around here, as well as many other boards.

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.


also, that does not always ring true. I believe we have all had discussions regarding players drafted in later rounds that turn out to be great players. So, yes players taken in the top 10 typically are better than the bottom 10, but its not a guarantee. We could get a quality DE or DT with the 31st pick that could be just as good, if not better than the guy drafted 25 picks ahead of him.

1) its not a cost-minded move
2)we have solid LB depth already
3)if you consider the price "nothing", you're probably retarded

It's a stiff price to pay for any linebacker, much less a potentially overrated one.

yet another immature little ass. are you people seriously that insecure about your man hood that it requires you downgrade yourself to name calling? When does "price" ever matter with this organization? oh, thats right.. Randel El's 30 million, Arch 30million, Lloyds 30 million, were all cost minded?? i forgot

You say we're basically gaining an extra 1st round pick because we are getting a stud linebacker, but that's not what we need right now!
People around here want to trade down our pick so that we can get a defensive lineman, a guard, a safety, maybe a cornerback, maybe a tight end, and maybe another late round receiver. Another linebacker is one of the last positions that we feel like the team needs to fill right now, which means it would basically be a waste to pick/trade for one.

I'm not sorry, my opinion of you hasn't changed, and I still don't find you to be very intelligent.

I have no problem with your opinion in and of itself. It's fine to state it. But if I address it in a post, and then you repeat yourself again as if you never even read what I said, well that to me isn't very responsible on a board aimed at "discussion for the knowledgeable fan." If you're not addressing my point and you're just repeating yourself, you're not having much of a discussion, are you? You're just blowing hot air onto the boards without listening to the opinions of others.

Now, as for your clarified point, I addressed that one as well earlier in the thread. No franchised player is actually worth 2 first rounders. Just because the CBA says that's the price, that doesn't make the underlying player actually worth that much.

Is the irony of this statement not lost on anybody?

Yeah, we COULD. And if a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his ass when he hops.

Bottom line: the 6th pick is worth so much more than the 31st because the chances of hitting on the player is so much higher.

Your argument makes no sense.

I believe the word is hypocrisy.

you like that. figured I would sink to their level for a few minutes.

No offense, but it seems like everyone around here is a little testy.
