As I stated on the Dan Morgan thread, I think giving up a 2nd rounder is being generous, and I certainly wouldn't go any higher than that. However, my statement quoted in the original post was in response to these comments:
Why do you compare it to the Ricky Williams trade, Rum? Why would it be "gutting the franchise?" Furthermore, if we gave up a 2nd rounder this year, why would it be a disaster, but if we gave up next year's 2nd rounder it would be ok? I think it's fair to ask for clarification here.
I could be over re-acting, but I don't think so... we have better prospects for this years's picks than next year's.
Next year's 2nd is a reach--win this year.
We can get a good DEF player on our 2nd this year. I'm not that worried about next year's 2nd.
