Well, I've always said we need to draft Defense to keep players on that side young and fast. And use FA to mostly plug holes on offense . He's been quoted as saying we're gonna get young on defense. [Reply]

If Erving can at least step in and hold that spot down without being a major negative on the Oline- that trade will be worth it. I have my doubts though- he just does not have a Nasty attitude that Roaf had. [Reply]

We got him the week before the season began, which means that he wasn't in our training camp or conditioning programs - he had been in the worst-place Browns'.
I think the jury is still out on the trade, and we can determine at the end of this year if it was a plus, minus, or even.
I think it's too early to call it a misstep, and even if it doesn't work out, we can't really fault Veach for trying. [Reply]
