Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick

No man named Landry should ever wear a Redskins uniform (RIP Tom)

Seriously though, we need help on the line. Landry will not make us a better team

Are you kidding? Landry would be a huge help in the secondary, the guy can match up and cover WR's let alone TE's and backs. One of our biggest problems last season was the absolute lack of safety help for Taylor and the rest of the D-backs, every team attacked AA and anyone else we put there, which hinderd Taylors effectivness with teams just throwing away from him.

I think other than C. Johnson he may be the best player in the top 10

If you put 2 players at the safety position who both can run sub 4.4 that will help our CB's immensly, the ground both Taylor and Landry could cover as Safeties may be unpressidented in football history, when's the last time a team put 2 safeties on the field with that kind of speed? The guy could probably fill in at CB if need be with 4.34 speed.

Safety may not be our biggest need, but given this kid's talent it just may be the right pick, I am not sold on the D-linemen out there, and we have a fair chance of trading down a couple of spots and picking up a 2nd rounder as well. This kid is a better safety than any of these linemen are at thier perspective positions.

I would hope to trade down and grab Landry, then see if we can come away with one of 3 different players, either Jarvis Moss who I think in a couple of years after having added some bulk to his frame might be the best of the pass rushers, [he reminds me a little of Charles haley] Justin Blalock, or Ben Grubbs at the O-guard position. I think we need to draft for talent rather than need right now, I don't want to get wrapped up into drafting a lineman who is just an average NFL lineman, I see to many weakness in these lineman, there really isn't a total package amoungst them.

SO NOW WE DRAFT LANDRY WITH 6 OR 8 which ever we have come draft day.

Well I don't need to argue it because he started in Buffalo and he started for us a lot in '05. Your point on the knee is right on though.

edit: I swear smootsmack and I are different people. Even though we made the same post at the same time.

There is no way they use a top pick on a safety. The have Stoutmire and PP. One of them is going to have to get the job done.

My brother is convinced we are going to pull Laron Landry out of the magic draft hat. It's kind of like building a house from the top down.

Kudos to the F.O.

Guys i've been out of circulation for a while, but as far as Archuleta's status goes..... THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I admit I was on the bandwagon when we first signed him about a year ago.. Arch was a bum and a coward... i was at the last game of the year and i got to the game pretty early to catch warm-ups.... arch was the only player sitting in the end zone listening to his i-pod while the rest of the team was gearing up to play the g-men... WTF!!!!!????? DOUCHE!!!!!!!! Stoutmire is a good pick-up but i wish- and Mr. 21 prolly wishes- that the name was Clark instead....

[That Guy]

we need to draft someone to fix our crappy D line. landry won't fix this defense, and taking him won't leave us any picks to fix the D line, and there aren't any FAs to really help there (cept scott, who it doesn't look like we're signing).

landry might be great, but him + our Dline <<<< prioleau + #6pick in terms of overall effectiveness. moss is a late first rounder, and blalock and grubbs will go in the early 2nd at worst, before we'd have a chance to take any of them.

On my way home from work this morning I heard on Sirius Radio that the pick was for a 6th round which could move to a 5th round, like i asked before how can that change if the pick is a 2007 pick seeing that he wont hit the field before the draft.

I have the same question????

oh god, not this again

I was a little confused over JLC's take as well.

I don't know how anybody can be disappointed in getting rid of this guy, especially if he was the leak from last season.

I'll third that. I think a lot of what he leaves out is the chemistry factor that stems from overpaying someone. Maybe the danny didn't want to pay him, but it's also a message to the team that you won't be the highest paid player in the nfl at your position if you don't perform up to it.

I realize this goes both ways & some players may feel mgmt. is going back on its word w/AA as they did w/Lavar, but teams in the salary cap era have to cut players or ask them to take a pay cut every year. I think this was a great move & could have a huge impact on the D, all for the better.

This has got me thinkin about Coles in 05. Got rid of him & the O had a much better year thereafter. This offseason is shaping up a lot like 05, few moves in free agency, dump some dead weight (AA), & get the #6 pick. Also have a young qb who started at the end of the year, though I don't want to draw any comparisons to the Ramsey situation!

And the real coup: now we sit here with $8 million in 2007 space. We don't need $8 million for rookies.

To me this is saying loud and clear that the Dre Bly deal is going down any day now.

Listen to the money talk!

[Monkeydad]

Wow.

Having the Bears take his contract off our books is a huge favor. Throwing in a draft pick is a bonus.


Good work, front offiice. You're forgiven for signing him.

Seriously though, who could've predicted him turning from a weightroom monster to a marshmallow Peep after putting the burgandy and gold on? We WERE all excited when we signed him, helped by all of the articles about his work ethic and physique.

I'm glad this is over with. I wish him good luck, except for against us.
