[QUOTE="axelred13, post: 149103, member: 793"] I'm gonna try to make this a clear and concise as possible. TT did make a mistake not taking the Cleveland deal. Why? Here's the way I look at it. Taking a specialty player such as Harrell, a run stopping DT, is kinda like taking a guy for his P and KO return skills. Its such micromanaging. We have other GLARING needs (a RB, a TE, secondary, and a competent backup QB who will some day take the reigns). IF we would have traded, we would have had 2 first next year, loose our 1st this year, but pick up an early second this year. So we would have lost about 20 picks. Now with that extra 1st next year, we realistically could have started shopping for a younger veteran RB. A position I think we all can agree is one of the most vital to a championship contender. Downside would have been loosing those 20 spots in this years draft. So we wouldn't have gotten Harrell. Oh well, we still have 5 guys signed to that postition anyway (2 just signed this offseason). But the upside would have been HUGE. Possibly Larry Johnson, possibly Michael Turner. Worst would have been not being able to get someone like those two and we would still have TWO 1st rounders next year. So, if things went the Packers way, we could have had those guys for a deal of trading a #1 this year for an early #2 and a 4th. I'm not saying that this WOULD have happened. But it sure would have given us some NICE options. [/QUOTE]
