And we would have still had a first and second round pick. I don't know why you guys keep glossing over that part [Reply]

Well it is just 1 pick since they got a 2nd rounder for Ford. But yeah I don't like the fact that we gave up a 1st rounder but we weren't going to be better with Houston\Ford [Reply]
The trade was very suspect from the start -- giving up draft picks for the right to pay what you'd pay if they guy was on the open market isn't a sound strategy. Sure, Clark has been a lot worse than we had hoped, but even before the fact, it's hard to justify that trade. [Reply]

Couldn't really be much worse either. We'd also have had a 1st Rd pick and a 2nd next year.

But we got worse without them. The pass rushing and run defense has been WORSE this year. [Reply]
