ShulaSteakhouse Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Must be nice to have all those day one draft picks to use on average (although reliable and needed) players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Wow is it me or bears get screwed? figure thomas could have gotten a 2nd not a trade up.Guess not that horrible.37=530 = 63=276=254Which is equal value to 3rd round 3rd pick.

HoosierCat Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Wow is it me or bears get screwed? figure thomas could have gotten a 2nd not a trade up.Yeah, I don't get this one either. I wouldn't be putting all my eggs in the Benson basket at this point and Jones had two more years on his deal so there was no pressure to trade. Maybe the powers that be felt the NFC North was too powerful...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
