Just when i think Graves has it figured out with a nice draft going, he slaps me back to reality.

Why the sour grapes. The drafts around here for the last 5 years under graves have been damn good. Also you can bet Whiz had the yes or no on whther or not to pull this trade.

This was a money dump. They didn't want to pay 4.5 million for a 3rd CB. Same thing that happened with Hood.

Ech. There better be a plan. Devin Ross UA baby!

McFadden got the Rod Hood treatment. We won't pay bigger money for a nickel back, and Toler was pretty much a lock to start. But unless the PS guys are better than we realize, we're screwed for depth right now.

alot of us specualted McFadden would be released earlier so it's not a huge shock that he's gone but there is no one to replace him that was brought in. That's now 5 starters, Rolle, KD, Berry, Okeafor, McFadden gone from last year's defense which, wasn't that bad of a defense.

I wonder if there is more to this than just the play/contract

locker room issues? Not dependable on scheme?

Its a good thing the Cards dont do much in terms of free agents -- they rarely seem to last more than a year

Some WILL get released. Jeez everyone - DON'T PANIC!

Stop Gaps. Unless Porter shows something legit, look for the same.

We don't need to get James'd any more.

Great intangibles for a develpmental QB.Love the "KID".
I'm just scared about our lack of depth already BEFORE we GAVE McFadden back to the steelers.Had to even GIVE them a 6TH to take him back.:)

Shirley Whiz has a plan.Unless he missed our last two playoff games and our defensive backs.We got rid of one weakspot in Rolle and McFadden was toasted even worse last year.I was HOPING for a great improvement this year by McFadden.Now I'M literally in SHOCK on this move.Where will we manufacture some depth with an injury?

The runs on CB's has been giant already.With all the dumping of players and trades,we BETTER pick up someone!!!We don't know if we get back a healthy DRC yet.WASSUP Whiz?I know its Blasphemy around here to question THE WHIZ.Right now I'm doing it.:mad::bang:

The D wasnt that good either. And old. I bet our D overall is better than last year this season. Barring any major injuries of course.

interesting! while i didn't like mcfadden last year, his trade further depletes the defensive depth. i hope something else in in the works

Also, Toler hasn't done anything yet. I hope he's ready and DRC is healthy. We may have Ralph Brown and Adams starting at some point :eek:.
