NOLASKINSFAN Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Boldin and a 5th for Ravens 3rd and 4th round picks. Wow what a steal, now i know that majority thinks that we're set at the WR position and i kinda agree with you guys but the two youngsters though got mad potentials are still unproven, and Santana is 30. I mean wouldn't it have been a steal for us for the number of picks that baltimore gave up?Edit: oh and by the way 2 years ago we were willing to give up 2 first rounders for this guy , but Arizona turned it down, but a 3rd a 4th? a no brainer Yeah, it would have stole any potential of this being a sucessful season (join the coversation in ATN ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cphil006 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Good thing for them that Brandon Lloyd didn't set the going rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpheusmeyers Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 We don't have a 3rd so we would have had to offer something else. But yeah, I was surprised to see Boldin go for a 3rd and a 4th, especially since Baltimore also got a 5th in the deal. Captain Obvious here, but Boldin will make Baltimore a lot better on offense.

jpyaks3 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I wouldn't say that exactly. Like mentioned earlier, they play in the NFC West. Which team is gonna step up and challenge them? Seattle? Rebuilding. Rams? Puh-Lease. San Fran? Slim chance. If Leinart can play somewhat decently, don't see why they don't at least win the title. San Francisco dominated Arizona this past year. Beat them twice and almost swept the west. If you don't think that the 49ers are now the favorites in the NFC West I don't know what to tell you. The Cardinals lose Warner who was a huge part of their success, a great linebacker in Dansby, Berry, a good safety in Rolle, and Boldin. The 49ers have 2 first round picks and last year lost 6 of their 8 games by less than a touchdown, something that as the team gets older will change. I just can't see Arizona keeping afloat with Leinart at the helm and an older depleted defense. The 49ers were a hail mary from Favre and a dropped touchdown by Davis in Seattle from winning the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff in D.C. Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Good trade for the Ravens, they should be much improved next season especially with Flacco another year wiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 To back up what I was saying earlier: http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d816d7c80&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true "One of the main reasons we really explored that area was because of the ascension of younger players, like Steve Breaston and Early Doucet," Cardinals general manager Rod Graves said. "We really felt like those young guys stepped up and that there is still a lot more potential there. Even so, we weren't just going to give (Boldin) away in a trade. It had to be something acceptable."A year ago, "something acceptable" was a first-round pick. Arizona was offered a second-rounder in the draft and it told anyone offering that wasn't enough. The Cardinals had just come off a Super Bowl appearance and they didn't want to part with one of their best players. Boldin seethed and publicly complained, which just made things worse for him because the annoyed Cardinals became even more girded to drive a hard bargain. Fast forward to late last week: Baltimore offered up a third- and fourth-round draft pick for Boldin and the deal was done. Boldin's seven-year career in Arizona was over. Both sides are happy -- sort of. In the aftermath of arguably the biggest player move since free agency started on March 5, let's examine the Boldin trade from information provided by those who drove the trade: Graves and Boldin's agent, Tom Condon.

TeddyKGB Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Exactly Longshot, Anyone who watched the Cards late last season could see that Early Doucet basically made Boldin expendable. Goes to show that sometimes developing your own WR's cough*MarkoMitchell*cough pays off in the long run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexterSackMachine Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 That Lloyd was young, had a lot of upside and could be good for many years. Unfortunately, it didn't work out, and Lloyd himself had a lot to do with that.The value which Baltimore had gotten Boldin goes to speak to how much his value has dropped. A couple years ago, a 1st round pick wouldn't have been enough to dislodge him. It's a good move on Baltimore's part, because when he's healthy he'll still be a good receiver for him, but you do have to question how much he has left. I think his health problems are being overstated. He played in 15 games last year and had over 1000 yards for the 5th time in his 7 year career. Ironically, the time period that you state his value was higher was a two year period where he only played 12 games each season. He's no ironman, but he's not brittle either.

spring Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Wow and Mason just resigned. Baltimore is going to be very tough this year. They've had some great drafts and moves in the past three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWUeagleMD Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Wow and Mason just resigned. Baltimore is going to be very tough this year. They've had some great drafts and moves in the past three years. Yeah, now they can try to get younger in the front seven or pick up value in the secondary or at tight end in the 1st and 2nd round. They'll be one of the few teams that doesn't have any holes to fill with draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheREALJBird Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Lets see if B-more goes after Gresham now, I figured a while ago they'd look his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWUeagleMD Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Lets see if B-more goes after Gresham now, I figured a while ago they'd look his way. They'd have a pretty nice set of skill guys, that's for sure. If there's a willing partner, they'd be best served to trade out of the first and grab more picks. If they can turn their two picks in the first two rounds into four picks in the first three rounds, they'd be able to draft BPA at tight end, corner, safety, and DT/DE/LB with all of them. Gresham is good, but I'm not sure, from a value standpoint, that he's much better than what will be available at the bottom of round 2/top of round 3.

darklight1216 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Fragile, Hasn't Played Since 2008, Bust, and Has Never Done Anything in His Career probably won't make many teams tremble.Mason needs to be re-signed before I can get excited. Well look at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 As much as I hate to admit it, the Ravens should be really good this year. They just need to hope Reed comes back and that their defense can stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
