Our young guys looked good
Clearly we aren't going to make the playoffs this year, our coach is probably going to be fired by the start of next weeks game, our QB looks horrible, our tackles are probably the worst in the league, half of our starters are injured but....
....our young guys look pretty good.
Byrd looks like a gamer, he played with zest and the same could be said for Keith Ellison and Nic Harris, who I feel had a pretty strong presence in this loss against Cleveland.
Levitre, Hangartner and Wood are an improvement over last year's starters, easily. If we could just add a pair of tackles next offseason our offensive line could actually be a strength for us....
So if you haven't noticed already, I clearly like many of the younger guys on this team, minus Bell. It's our veterans who haven't shown up. It's obvious we need to start thinking ahead here a bit, perhaps we should consider trading away some players for draft picks next year?? Here are a couple guys I'd strongly consider dealing:
1.) Lee Evans - Could we some how dupe an owner into selling their future for this guy? He is obviously a one trick pony, he is good for a deep ball but it's clear he has no fluid lateral movement, he can only run very fast in a straight line. If we could get a 1st for Lee, I'd hop all over it in a heartbeat.
2.) Paul Posluszny - Would teams offer anything for this guy? He has clearly been a disappointment and hasn't really established himself as an impact player, I'd potentially look at shopping him around to get an idea of what his value is.
3.) Freddy Jackson - Hate to say it, but he is one of the few players I could think of that maybe sexy trade bait for another team. We clearly aren't built to win now or within the next 2-3 years, perhaps we could land a 2nd round pick for an extremely capable back?
4.) Trent Edwards - What would teams give up for him? He has clearly been struggling, but has definitely shown potential in the past. Could we perhaps land a 3rd round pick from a desperate team for Trent?? I'd at the very least consider it.
We need to cut our losses and stockpile draft picks, the veterans on this team haven't done anything, thus it seems like a reasonable idea to start shopping some guys around. Thoughts?
