Why would we trade 2 very good young players away?? Especially a top 10 LT

I'm all for keeping Rak and TW.

But on the other hand, Rak has not developed the variety of moves which mark elite pass rushers. And TW is one strike away from disaster.

Still there is no reason to just give away young talent. Maybe...maybe you can trade Orakpo, but then you go back to square one in terms of your pass rush b/c now teams will just focus on Kerrigan. Despite his off field issues, TW is our best lineman, and we would go back to having a huge question mark in the most important position on the line.

At this point, let's hope BA can figure out a trade without dealing any of our guys. Our team does not have much talent, and it would be stupid to get rid of the few talented players we have and cause other holes to fill.

Also why is it the Skins always get the worst end of every deal? Orakpo has played like a 1st round talent. Bradford has not. If any thing the Rams should be trying to sweeten the pot for us to want to make the trade. Why would we toss two players their way for Bradford who has played no better then a second rounder?

TW I feel is still a little bit raw. I could see the Rams wanting him cause their LT I think retired. He still gets beat once and a while and he never should have used an illegal drug to begin with to get suspended. But again TW has played like a 1st round talent and Bradford has not.

I would make this trade but the Rams wouldn't and that to trade Orakpo, TW, and Fletcher to the Rams for their #2 pick in the draft. That way we can get QB and WR in the 1st round. But they want RGIII so no way would they trade away their #2 pick.
