jay glazer reports on his twitter that there's some talent available for trades

glazer is usually pretty damn good so i trust his info.he's saying that dallas is dangling; carpenter, hurd, crayton, & spears, jax has henderson available & the saints has jamal brown available. my take, carpenter (pass-to soft), hurd (kick the tires), crayton (for a low round pick, he's on the wrong side of 30), spears (for the right price), henderson (pass-too many city miles) & brown (give them a pick or picks for him).

Spears would have been very nice for the correct price. He is young and is a proven pass rusher. After looking at our picks, I would give our 3rd or maybe even our second. No not both Andy. You see, this is what I am talking about. We drafted an iffy right tackle with our 2nd pick. We most likely could have had Brandon Marshall, Anquan Boldin or traded this pick for extras and still got right tackle X. This is where I don’t think we have been very smart at all. Proven players always trump a “lottery scratch off” draft pick.

No, we couldn't trade this pick for extras.

The best offers were to drop down 10 to 15 positions and get a bunch of nothing to go with it. Since no one was interested in the QBs (except Carolina at 48), and the talent level was so even throughout the second round, no one was willing to offer us much to move down. All you guys who were saying Clausen and McCoy were just as good as Bradford and would draw all kinds of interest at the top of the second were very wrong. Only Carolina cared and they didn’t have anything to give us.

I think we made our mistakes starting in the third round and on down. We didn’t take really good players to fill needs, we just took guys to add depth to positions that weren’t all that bad to begin with. How much better would we feel if we had Ed Dickson to play TE and one of the really solid OLBs to play the weak side? It seems to me we have almost as many holes now as we did before the draft, aside from QB. I have no idea what the FO was thinking.
