Trade WR

CrazyCanuck · 03-05-2004, 12:36 AM

I really hope they keep them all, especially McCants. The guy was solid last year, he's young, he loves coach Gibbs, and he wants to be here.

Let Gardner, McCants, Jacobs all battle it out in camp. They are a great young core that are cheap and can be kept (along with Coles) for a long time. Let's see who steps up before we unload any of them.

If our O line is as great as everyone says (yes I'm talking to you Samuels), our offense is looking scary.

That being said, we are short on picks, and WR is the only position we have the depth to trade from, so I'll understand if they do decide to trade one of them.

And I think trading one of them to one of our division rivals is a MUST NOT.

I don't care what they offer.

What about TO for Gardner and Jacobs? Mccants can only get better and contributed alot last season for bottom dollar. You cant blame me for dreaming :p

We can't afford TO. Gardner and Jacobs are cheap.
Although I think drafting Jacobs last year was a huge mistake when we could of had Saftey Mike Doss. Doss started all year at SS for the Colts, had 101 tackles and helped the Colts to one game from the Superbowl.
Mattt Bowen (our SS) had only 74 tackles.
It is amazing that a rookie outplayed a 4-5 year veteran.

A 2nd rounder for Gardner when Owens was just had for a 2nd?? I don't think so.

Jacobs for a first? Ummm, right. Don't think so.

We'd be extremely lucky to get a low 2nd for Gardner, more likely a 3rd though. As for Jacobs, maybe a 4th or a 5th? Who is going to give up anything higher than that for a 2nd year WR who did absolutely nothing in his rookie year??

Yea u prob right. I was being very generous there.

u never know though when teams get desperate or a gm or coach see's a guy he really likes. look at what ditka did to get ricky williams. no one can really compare the TO trade to a possible trade of Gardner for a 2nd round pick. the 49ers wanted to be rid of TO and even set a 72 hour deadline to get it done. They weren't expecting him to still be on their roster so they traded him and got what they could for him. Gardner is still very young and talented (plus his current contract is low priced.) You don't think teams needing a cheap, solid #2 wide reciever haven't inquired about Gardner for a possible 2nd or 3rd and 4th round picks? As much as I'd like to keep him since he complements Coles pretty well, the team needs come first and if we can trade him for picks then we need to do it because I think mccants can slide into the #2 WR role pretty well.

Gardner is a proven talent and has more value on our roster next year than any defensive player we can draft in the third or fourth round. We would have to get really lucky to draft a player in the 3rd or 4th round that has the talent of Gardner. Plus Cerrato/Snyder's draft record in the late rounds has been terrible. We could give up Gardner for nothing if we draft a player that sucks.
I think Gardner will fill the Art MonK role in Gibss offense next year. Gardner's talent did not lend itself to Spurriers terrible college offensive system. Gardner will shine next year.

Jacobs & Mccants have virtually no trade value and Coles & Gardner are starters so trading one of them just turns a strength into yet another question mark. Bad idea...
