Trades of the Shanahan era

[ethat001]

To summarize above:
1) Hightower (or VHoliday) - fantastic trade, starting RB
2) JBrown (for 3rd vs. 5th picks) - good trade so far, starting RT
3) RKerrigan + Hankerson + Helu (for 10th pick B.Gabbert) - great trade so far, starting LB
4) J.Gaffney (for Jarmon) - good trade, starting WR (TD first game)
5) Carriker (for almost free) - great trade, starting DLine
6) Beck (for dutch) -- ? probably good trade
7) McNabb - MISS

2011 draft:
- Kerrigan (1) - looks great so far, rookie of week
- Jenkins (2), Neild (7) - look great so far, reserving final judgement
- Helu (4) Niles Paul (5), B.Thompson (7), Gomes (5) - ?look good, reserving judgement
- Hank (3) - ? reserving judgement
2010 draft
- TWilliams (1st round) - usually good, reserving judgement
- TAustin (7th round) - good find late rounds
- P.Riley (4), Cook (7) - ??
- did not have picks in 2nd (Mcnabb), 3rd (Jarmon)


Great job, very impressed with front office. They seem to be EXCELLENT talent evaluators so far. Of the moves above, he hit on 6 of 7 trade, and drafted very well. Remade the entire team in 2 years. Can't wait - if we keep this up, we'll have a team of talented young players and just continue to add quality depth. This is how you build a team and a franchise, and how you compete for the Super Bowl.

If these young guys continue to perform and we continue to draft/trade well, we will be competitve for at least the next 5-10 years. Wish we got rid of Cerrato years ago - this talent would have taken him 15 years to obtain.
