Second, Ramsey hasn’t been traded. Third, Fitzpatrick is not an outside corner. He doesn’t fix anything. At all. And we would’ve had to give more than a 1st. You’d bitch about that 100%. As for the rookies, I’m sorry but they aren’t going to fair any better than Claiborne/Ward against the Pats. |

You can bet your ass we will draft at least one next year. We’re not done looking for long term or short term solutions. |

Of course we will, because we have to, but it would've been nice to have that 1st to draft a CB instead of paying asking price to Seattle for Clark.

Oh the horror. We still wouldn’t have the guys to cover Brown/Edelman/Gordon and we’d have a huge ****ing hole at DE with no long term solution there. |

Would you have retained Houston or Ford? Neither has proven to be able to stay healthy. |

If there were a GM draft, Brett Veach would get picked early. |

Not saying we shouldn't do whatever possible to upgrade at cornerback, but it is comforting to know that we have a GM that is not going to give away the farm out of desperation. I think Veach is a lot more measured than some people want to give him credit for. |

Here's the thing. You can NEGOTIATE with Seattle, and drive the price lower. If they don't want to play ball there were plenty of other DEs that don't cost as much either in draft capital or cap space and are only marginally less players. Both Smith's, Flowers, Clowney, Ansah, the list goes on.

Clowney is the only guy in that list that’s “marginally” less and he doesn’t fit the culture they’re trying to establish/create defensively. Not to mention there are serious injury concerns.

Anybody who thinks Veach is solely calling the shots here is just naive. Veach finds and brings the players to AR and he makes the decisions both drafting and negotiating pure and simple.

Kept Houston then when Clowney became available for peanuts, release Houston and trade for Clowney. Draft corner with 1st pick. |

Easy to say that in hindsight. What if Clooney doesn’t become available and Houston gets hurt? Both are/were very real scenarios.
