Our front office now resembles Washington and Dallas - cooperbh - 04-28-2011 10:02 PM

Sorry, but I just can't get behind this one. Five draft picks and at least $30 million guaranteed for a #2 WR? Not only is that the position with the highest statistical bust rate in the NFL, it is the position to least likely make an immediate impact.

Now, if it had been for a franchise LT or DL, then maybe the move could be justified. But how is another WR going to give Ryan the protection he needs to get the ball downfield? How is it going to keep elite offenses from sitting their punters for entire games?

Frankly, I think this move reeks of desperation. I know a lot of people are overjoyed that we "made a splash," but making a splash doesn't win championships. Just how how many more years does TD think Abe, Turner and Gonzo have left in them, anyway? Where are we going to get their replacements and with what money are we going to pay them with?

TD better pray that a new CBA can be reached before training camp starts and that it includes a rookie wage scale. Otherwise, this may go down as the year it all started to unravel.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go watch Julio Jones' highlight vids again to see what it was I missed the first time around that would warrant a franchise mortgaging the future on him.

One move resembles Washington and Dallas which has been trying to buy a championship for years? You are very clueless on this one OP.

Move smells like desperation? Move sounds like a team trying to win a SB that believes they can win a SB next year. You can try to spin it to your liking and you can hate on the move all you want but at least come up with some reasonable reasons at to why. Nothing like Washington or Dallas in regards to front office. Do you even watch football?

Oh boy I love it. I wonder how many people will admit they are wrong if this pans out. Good job having a knee jerk reaction. People always forget the option of having no reaction at all. I don't have a pos or neg reaction because idk what's gonna happen. Whether its this year, next year, or even tomorrow.

I think we gave up too much, but time will tell.

This was a much more even keel response than I was expecting from you.

What makes him a number 2 WR? Ryan may go to Jones even more than he does White if teams double White. Jones, in my opinion, puts us on the map and makes us legit contenders. If we can sign Charles Johnson, it'll make trading the picks no big deal at all.
