He's great but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be cheap

Compared to CJ i would think he would be. And if Cincy want a first for CJ, I think id rather take Roy Williams which is available for a 2nd. He is more of a TO type reciever. Can play on the outside or in the slot. Breaks tackles and is a huge target.

Possibly, but isn't Fitz's base contract something like $16 million for 2008? Granted, CJ would be looking for a new deal but probably wouldn't get that much considering his age and current salary

Money aside, you really can't go wrong with any of them. I'd rather trade for one of them, even if it meant giving up our first, rather than drafting a WR in the first round. I'm just not sold on selecting WRs in the first round.

But let's say you sent the 1st and a player (Rocky?) to Cincy for CJ and a 4th (trust me, it could happen). Then you get CJ, you hope Lawrence Jackson falls to you in the 2nd round so you get your DE there (the biggest obstacle for Jackson could be the Bengals, but if they get our first round pick then they can get their DE there and Jackson can fall to us), 3rd and 4th rounds you go filling your CB and OL needs

Of course in a more ideal, yet unlikely world you ship a 3rd rounder to Detroit for Roy Williams so 1st round-Talib or Cason, 2nd-Jackson, 3rd-trade for Williams, use the back end of the draft for line help

Have you heard anything of the reports that Rocky has a degenerative knee condition? I had heard this on Sirius the other day.

Heard that he DID have one, or that he possibly has one? Everything I've heard is that he'll be ready to start opening day. If not, does that make LB a greater need than DE? If we end up trading him and picks for CJ like some suggest, who do we bring in?

It was on one of their "two minute drill" reports and I believe the quote was to the tune of "Word out of Washington is that LB Rocky McIntosh has a degenerative knee condition." I don't know if it was discovered during his rehab or what...
