I figured there would be a little more to it. Still a good deal. I'm thinking at 10 they may go db or possibly even *gulp* wr(hopefully not, most 1st round wrs kinda scare me).
Ummmmmm, that seems to be a heck of a high price! Falcons Boards are celebrating this coup. http://boards.atlantafalcons.com/index.php?showforum=2
wow, not as excited as I was about 10 minutes ago. I don't mind dropping back to #10, but a 2nd rounder next year also? I just hope they have another deal in the works for Carr. Carr to Oakland for Porter or Moss or something. I hope we just don't cut him.
Amen to that! This looks like a bad deal as they could have gotten a quality player with the 8th pick. And giving up those 2nd round picks is a huge gamble seeing as how they should be high picks. So much for the Texans' finding religion and not trading away draft picks. I wonder if Casserly is back?
Does anyone know about this guy? I don't have a good feeling about this, it feels too much for an unproven guy. It should have been just a 2nd pick and that's it. One of the 790 guys just said he's a sure thing. Don't know who said it but he probably knows about Matt Scaub as much as I do.
Don't worry about the 2nd rounders. It's not like the Texans would've known what to do with them anyways. They probably would have just wasted them on some unknown DE from Western Ohio Technical State with 30 sacks.
this is AWESome! yeah, now that i'm reading about the extra pick next year. But I can live with it.. ignore the 1st rnd swap if it's just 2 slots. We'll still have our shot at Landry, Branch, Brown, etc.. one of them will be around. (Of course, if AP drops to 8 but not to 10, we'll all shoot ourselves.. but let's assume they know that won't happen) So it's really just 2 2nd's for Schaub. Steep? yes. But with so many suitors (and they've resisted trading him for 2 years)...it was necessary. The Texans win a battle!
you can still get a quality player with pick 10. Probably a lot of the same players they were looking at with the 8 pick. The 2 2nd rounders hurt, but I'd rather have a starting qb now than two 2nd rounders. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be pining my future around kolb *barf*.
Really? Extoll the virtues of this Matt Schaub then if you don't mind. It just seems like the Falcons drove up his price and the Texans got took.
I don't see getting much for carr at this point. Unless something was lined up ahead of time, everyone knows they will get him on the cheap if we deal him now This was a lot to give up, I don't think I like it. Hopefully Schaub will prove it was a great move.
2 2nd rounders? Yikes. Schaub better be the real deal or this trade will look an awful lot like P-Burnt. Also, having as many holes as this team has, I'm just not sure trading away 2nd round picks is a good idea. We need those picks to fill out a competent roster. You can't build a team on first round picks.
