Trade for Boldin?

I'm not allowed to post a link apparenty, because I'm new, but it is from Raising Zona, a Cardinals blog.

Not sure if it is true, but I'm with some of the others who think that these WRs, while great, are not worth 2 first rounders. I forget where I read it (or heard it if it was on Jeremy Green's Football Today podcast), but apparently the performance markers for the Skins and the WR were fairly easy to meet. That's 2 first rounders gone for a team that is in sore need of help on both sides of the line (it killed me to watch our Oline get decimated by injuries last year, to the point where if another one went down we were putting a backup Dlineman in).

The cap gets bigger every year, and our guys, though frustrating at times (turf-toe Deion for one), are brilliant at working it. I'm not worried about that. Roy, CJ and Boldin are all studs. There is just no doubt about that. But is a King's ransom really worth it? And I mean the draft picks, not the contract.

As for the guy who said we aren't in the position to win the superbowl this year with just one more player, I don't want to hear it. At times last year we looked great. The friggin Giants won the SB. You don't think we could do it next year with a stud WR? Optimism man.

Welcome to the board!
