What would be your lowest trade for DA?

[Oldcrow1945]

In this draft? You'd have to be willing to take a mid third rounder. I think there are players there that could come in a help immediately.

Center Antoine Caldwell from Alabama? Phil Loadholt? He is probably a 3rd rounder and is a perfect right tackle. Linebacker Derry Beckwith from LSU? Jennings from Liberty? OT Jason Watkins of Florida?

I'd take any of these guys for DA right now.

You could even draft your backup Qb. A guy like Bomar has a big upside to him. I wonder where he'd be in the draft if he hadn't got kicked offf the Oklahoma team for taking a no show job? This kid was the #1 recruit in the nation coming out of high school and started as a Freshman at OU. He broke The Freshman passing records in Norman.

He and Quinn are so similar....Only Bomar's arm is probably strong and his passes tend to be prettier.

DA and Lums for a 2nd, or 3rd rounder and a tall Egee's if (if it is 110 degrees and summer in Tucson). / or to Carolina for Julius Peppers and a 5th. (fifth rounder, not a fifth of booze hahahaha)

[Tobalaz]

If we've still got a potential starter at guard or center with the 3rd we'd get I'd take it.

[OconRecon]

DA will move once the Cutler thing gets resolved.

3rd rounder + a player.

How about a bag of peanuts and a new waterboy that wants to replace Lummy washing the starting QB's jock strap and picking up his soap in the shower? Tell me that didn't sound like an ad for Cruex...

I don't understand folks thinking that we will actually get a 2nd plus a player, or even a 3rd plus a player.

I know there are no guarantees in life, but I can say with about 99% certainty, that we might not even get a 3rd rounder, let alone a 3rd rounder and a player.

Recent history shows that the "going rate" for a backup QB is a 4th rounder. 6th/7th rounder for a 3rd string guy. I'd love a 3rd and 4th, or even a 3rd and 5th, but realistically, I'm not expecting any more or less than a 4th.

How bout a stadium with a roof.

Anderson is staying...bye pretty boy.

Ps. keep in mind New England didnt take the best offer (on paper) for cassel.

The sad fact remains that no one seems to want DA; I can't blame them

I disagree....I honestly feel there's a idio....oops...."GM" out there drooling over his strong arm & hoping they can land him. I will be surprised if he's here after the draft, but his value will be determined by another teams' delusions.

Thank you Al for again reminding everyone why Mangini and Kokinis have said they will come to camp and compete for the starter's job. Wouldn't be too bright to tell everyone that we have a backup to dump.

[Riffer X]

I'll take a fourth. Either way, if he's not moved just don't pretend to let him have the starting spot anymore. Phillip blew any chance of getting value out of the guy last year.

Time to move on

[OconRecon]

I just can't friggin' believe last year at this time we we're talking a 1st AND a 3rd. The majority here strongly suspected the real DA was the second half of '07, not the first half. Phil could have taken 6th round DA, spun a half season out of him, and turned him into a 1st and 3rd round pick. He would have looked like a genius ala Dolphin Scott Mitchell to the Lions.

Grrrrrr. I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. We should have pulled the trigger.

Spilled milk, etc., etc.....

What's funny is the Manwagonners think we're stupid for thinking he should have been moved last year. Most of us who are regulars here had a pretty good idea of what was going on and it needed to happen. Turns out we knew a helluva lot more than the GM of the team did.

This goes down as one of the biggest blunders in franchise history as far as I'm concerned, regardless if it wasn't an actual 1st and 3rd it still could have been something a lot better than now, plus Queen would have gotten some development.

[Sez.EJ]

all that may be true..but we didn't move him.. He killed his own value with his play last year.. if we can get a 3rd rounder.. it's still a coup in my opinion since he came here as a free agent...

[Steeler SChick]

Second round pick?

That's hysterical. If yinz got a 3rd, it would be like hitting the lottery.

DA has practically no market value - except maybe for a team that needs a vet backup.

I don't know if anyone has said this, I might of missed it. What about the Browns trading their #5 and Anderson to the Lions for #1 or Aaron Curry? But I guess that leaves Stafford available at #5 and wouldn't make sense. Sorry it's early.

Yea I can't think of another team that wastes picks as good as the Browns.

Last year this time the only guys who were talking a 1st and a 3rd were the few that actually felt DA still had potential. The same nuts that are crying he's only worth a 4th rounde or lower were doing the same then, many were begging to dump him for anything.
