  1. 3rd or 4th whatever just grab the guy.Brown is definetly an upgrade over Odom and Laboy put together.Personaly i'm tired of waiting around for Laboy and Odom to come up big only to be dissappointed when the season starts.Every off-season there's some story about Odom and Laboy how there going to get better and doing all these different things and nothin happens.Alex Brown missed one game in 5 seasons,Laboy and Odom missed 19 games combined in 6 seasons.I would of kept Jevon Kearse over these two guys if injuries was a reason we let Kearse go.Jevon it least produced huge his first three years.Just imagine Vanden Bosch and Kearse on that line,makes me wonder what kind of defense we'd have today.This DE position should of gotten addressed a long time ago,so i say pull the trigger and grab Alex Brown before Odom or Laboy gets injured before training camp starts.

    Kearse would have still been here if it wasn't for injuries which is why he isn't very effective anymore.

    Yeah I think for a 4th or 3rd that is pretty good. We should snag this guy before someone else does.

    I would give up a 2nd for Brown...IMO a 3rd or 4th is a steal

    So what from this off-season has been interesting? Moving our first round pick from his best position? Passing on the top free agents (although I will say that most of the players we passed on were over priced)? I've just not seen a lot to get excited about. If we were to get a quality DE and a true #1 WR, I'd be thrilled!

    Name a true #1 available?

    We tried to get a #1 WR in Stallworth and even offered more money than the Pats.

    The only quality DE that is being shopped or available is Brown which we are pursuing so relax and don't put all your eggs in one basket we all want a DE a WR ect. but reality is it doesn't always work out that way.

    If we get Brown for a 4th or 3rd I would call that a pretty good deal. Sorry not every offseason were not going to get a superstar thats life and true for any franchise.

    Well, first, those guys who are moving people around are the ones who get paid to do it. My theory is that they know that Grif may be the best ATHLETE on the D and he would probably be the second best CB to pacman who is out.

    Second....I am pretty sure we didnt just pass, unless your talking R Moss. We made moves for K Johnson, Stallworth, and I am pretty sure we made an offer to Clements. We just didnt break the bank like these other teams so we can avoid the cap hell. We are going after athletes who seem to be on their downside, but have a lot of upside (Gage, Herndon, ect.)

    I would like to see us get a quality DE, thats why I posted in this thread. I hope we get brown. But if not, I am still excited to see what the people we brought in along with the rookies can do. If your not thrilled about training camps coming up...well I dont know what to tell you.

    Name me some TRUE #1 WR availible? Bennett, Welker, heck even stallworth has a lot of doupts or else why did the Pats go get Moss. Give these young guys a chance to grow with VY. I mean that is, unless you can find me a few Tory Holts growing on Trees out there. Remember, Holt was not the Tory Holt we know from day 1. He started off as a player like BJ.

    This would be a great move. If we could get Brown for a 3rd it would be a steal. I mean, how many 3rd rounders are making huge impacts for the Titans. I think the defense will be much stronger than last years if we get Brown. The offense still worries me since we haven't made many moves. If we get C. Brown and McCareins back we may be OK, but I have been dissapointed with the way the offense has turned out this offseason.

    That's also where Travis Laboy came from.

    And, who would you rather have? Brown for a #2, or Laboy?

    This is my hope. I've really liked BJ since he was drafted and am praying that he fulfills his potential. With the workouts in Houston, I hope he and VY really develop a great chemistry.
