    Mort says Henry to Cards deal will get done

    I missed some of it on SportsCenter, but Mort said that the Travis Henry for L.J. Shelton will get done either draft day or leading up to the draft. I missed the part on TD trying to get a draft pick out of the Cards, which the Card balked at.

    If we get Shelton, I still would like to draft a guy like Terry in Rd 2 to compete with Shelton for that LT spot.

              How is stating that our line is in bad shape at this present time idiotic. I'm sure you agree that we need serious O-line help....

                I saw Mort on ESPNews and he said repeated what Clayton said that we wanted to swap 2nd Rd picks with the Cardinals. He said that the deal will probably be done on draft day or just before it.

                It makes sense, both Shelton and Henry aren't going anyway, so why make a rash trade? Just weigh all the options and on draft day if Shelton is the best way to go...make that deal.

                  the risk is that arizona appears to be the only team interested that has something to offer and willing to part with. if arz decides to go in another direction (i.e. alexander, droughns, or the draft) then we could be screwed. TH is not going to play for us this year not matter what.

                    How many times do i have to say it our line will be fine! we lost one starter and these people go into a panic!
                    Jennings was hurt so much we hardly used him! we pick up a guy in the draft and we will be fine!

                      I think he might actually have a point there. Our line was average after one year of McNally and w/ DB behind them. Year 2 McNally + Shelton/Marcus Johnson/Adam Terry to replace JJ, we should be OK, not great, but ok IMO.

                        I TOTALLY AGREE. ALSO, PICKING UP A OL GUY IN THE DRAFT ISNT ALWAYS GOING TO HELP YOU ASAP.

                          I think that goes both ways though. It's not like anyone else is kicking down Arizonas door to try and get Shelton. There's no way Dennis Green wants Shelton on his team next year, especially eating 3 mil of cap space.

                            I disagree, this line was not good last year. You can blame some of it on Bledsoe, but overall against good teams, this line was overmatched. Then you take the starting LT off of it and it only gets worse.

                              The Cards wont be able to land any of the top three backs, Williams, Brown, or Benson. All will be gone by their pick and they will want to get Travis.
