How is hte best deal no deal at all? I don't understand the logic of this thinking at all. How does not trading Talbot benefit us at all? Do you honestly think those handful of extra wins by having Talbot as supposed to some veteran backup is worth a 2nd round pick? It's this kind of logic as to why we haven't won anything in over 20 years. Part of being a competent organization is trading unnecessary pieces when they have value. Keeping him is incredibly short-sighted and foolish.
For starters, none of us know what's actually been offered or discussed. So we're not even arguing about a tangible fact, at best we're arguing about hypotheticals and rumors and second or third hand information.
Beyond that, I think we may be getting a little carried away with the value of second round picks, even in a deeper than usual draft.
Third, going back to the arguing about rumors and hypotheticals, I'm still not convinced that this team wouldn't prefer a player to a pick at this point.
So frankly, there are a lot of scenarios that need to considered and this board seriously needs to drink a few glasses of wine and chill out a little.
