Burgold Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 So, who's been more productive? On the free agent side, let's put Sean Springs, Andre Carter, Santana Moss, and Clinton Portis (trade, but with the new contract effectively a free agent). On the draft side, let's put Jason Campbell, Cooley, Sean Taylor, and Rogers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpheusmeyers Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Actually, Moss was a trade too and not a free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins59 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Our star draft picks have been more productive. There shouldn't even be an argument about this. Santana Moss and Portis are just mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 That's true. I'm trying to look for a silver lining, like young potential, but every silver lining seems to be rusting today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Skins Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 For now, Free Agents. In the future, Draft Picks. The acquisitions have been good for us and have helped us compete. But we won't be a winner in the playoffs unless our draft picks step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxpunk2006 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 What about Randy Thomas, Casey Rabach, Marcus Washington, LFB, and Mike Sellars? We've drafted some stars, and gotten some FA stars. So has every other team. You can't hit 100% with either one so you have to try both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should keep signing FAs, but hopefully not make another Lloyd/Archuleta type of mistake, while holding our draft picks and making better use of them. The problem with our team hasn't, despite the conventional wisdom, been that we sign too many FAs. It's been that we trade away too many draft pciks. And trade them away for the wrong players.

Burgold Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 Who's saying we should go one dimensional? I'm just looking at some "star" guys and where we've gotten them. I picked our most recognizeable guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 I do wonder if the ammount of "fight" is different though. Are the homegrown pushing harder? I think about all the U players who said, "Meh, we don't need to be here for the offseason." Or "I am too important to ever be played during a preseason game" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 There really aren't many star free agents anymore. Teams have figured out it is often cheaper and more effective to keep the players you have and pay them accordingly. You have players like Nate Clements out there that get a $60 million contract, but is he really one of the top corners in the NFL? a must-have player for a contender? You don't see guys like Reggie White sitting out there available come March 1 anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
