Pick 47 Trent Murphy

[Daseal]

I would like to say that it's not a foregone conclusion he is gone. I may have stated that too strong. They are, however, laying the groundwork to allow for that. I think Matty is correct that it gives them leverage or in the worst case scenario an option if he leaves.

However, we have some guys coming up that will require big money. Alf Mo, RG3, and Jordan Reed will all likely require fairly hefty contracts. Not to mention Kerrigan on the defensive side.

i would just replace those guys through the draft, rinse wash repeat these positions every 3-4 years.

i wouldnt pay a RB or a TE a second contract/big money unless he was an absolute stud game changer.

i just dont see alfo or reed being that but they still have a lot of football to play to prove otherwise.

while they are productive and important players on our team last year and this year, i do not believe they will be irreplaceable parts of our team 2-3 years from now.

I agree. Folks, we had more than enough cap room to sign Rak if we truely wanted to this offseason. We took the other option.

RG3 definitely, Morris for sure but Reed uh uh. He's only played one year and couldn't stay healthy in his lone season. Jordan has potential and I iiked what I saw but let's give him more than a year and see if he can stay healthy.

For what its worth I'd rather have Orakpo than Kerrigan. I'm just not sold on #91.
