D-Rob and the Draft

The talks for trading D'wayne Robertson have died down. The Broncos were interested because he would fit their 3-4 scheme yet they remain skeptical with his injury prone knee. In other trade talks with Cincinnati that failed miserably, Robertson failed a physical and the bottom fell out of that one. Now rumor has it that the Broncos will not deal us even picks for him, but they will wait to see if the Jets cut him before the beginning of the season due to the size of his contract. Either way I think we need to get rid of him. He is a good player and can assume a starting role some where in the league, but with his health in question and the little cap room we have left it may be the best idea.

Moreover, there are new rumors circulating that the Dolphins will not use the first pick on Virgina Defensive End, Chris Long. If he were to fall that would give us a better chance at getting either Long or Vernon Gholston of Ohio State. I think w have made some strides defensively at getting a run stopper in the middle in Kris Jenkins and getting a very large pass rusher in Calvin Pace. Still I think we need more in this area. Although we do need to address the wide out and corner needs getting a talent like Long or Gholston would be ideal. Its that great pass rush that won the Giants the Superbowl this year, sadly enough.

If Mcfadden is available at six we should probably consider taking him. Running backs are hit or miss due to the high potential for injury, yet McFadden may be a talent too good for our offense to pass up.

I wouldn't give up anything to get him. Trading up would be nonsense when either way were gonna get one of the top ten players in the draft. Only way we trade D-Rob should be for the picks we traded away to get Jenkins, because we need that money to even sign the picks we draft.
