we get 2 2nd's and a 4th

We give up a first, third and fifth.

Seems a wash, not like we took em to the cleaners.

Matty's server is getting crushed right now too.

The picks from ATL look good. Their two 2nds, and 4th for our 1st, 3rd & 5th.

From JLac: "UPDATE - Get Falcons, 34th, 48th picks in the second round, plus a 4th rounder"

I do not like this trade. We needed to get more than that. Giving up our 3rd is bad news.

saden1 · 04-26-2008, 05:44 PM

2nd round galore! I like, very very much!

More JLac:

Skins Make A Helluva Deal

Getting 3 picks for this pick, one the team was never married to and one where it may have required a stretch given their needs, makes all the sense in the world.

They get 2 second round picks - 34 and 48 overall - and also get a 4th round pick, which they previously lacked (103 overall). So the Skins pick 34, 48 and 51 in the second round, then have two third round picks as well.

You can not load up on needs at O and D Line in that 2-3rd round range, and you are still going to be able to get a quality WR as well. Maybe not with as much upside, but kids like Simpson from Coastal Carolina could be excellent in the third round even if they don't take Kelly or Nelson in the second round.

Merling might be there with the 34th pick as well.

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 04-26-2008, 05:46 PM

I love the trade. That gives us 3 2nd rounders, 1 3rd, 1 4th, 1 6th and 3 7ths.

drew54 · 04-26-2008, 05:48 PM

Sad to lose that thrid rounder, but happy to have two more twos.

Beemnseven · 04-26-2008, 05:51 PM

Umm, I don't like it.

We should have been done with getting the additional 2nd round picks. NOT giving up our 3rd and 5th.

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 04-26-2008, 05:53 PM

I'm happy even if the draft chart says we were on the losing end of that trade. We hit the sweet spot of the draft (i.e., 2nd-4th).

SKINSnCANES · 04-26-2008, 05:54 PM

everyone start donating money so Matty can buy more bandwidth!

skinsfan_nn · 04-26-2008, 05:56 PM

I think the trade was a smart move. We now have three, 2nd round picks, our Comp. 3rd round pick and a fourth round pick and our 6th and 7th rounders.

I like the trade, more picks. We gave up a 21 in the first round and a late third round, and a 5th. For two early second round picks and a fourth. Has anyone looked at the points of the trade?

The warpath site is barely functional, everyone else having the same problem?

rypper11 · 04-26-2008, 05:57 PM

Financially, it's a great trade. The 34 and 48 picks should be easier to sign and cheaper than a 1st rounder.

Draft value chart we come out ahead by a bit. Like it don't love it, but it's sure a lot better than a WR at # 21. Also the Cowboys make a bonehead pick with Jones IMO
