Look at the depth we have. We have depth to cover the injuries and what not. We need to make a big move in a couple years for a rebuild. I mean our 7th round pick will probably be stolen from us. And we're gonnna have at least 9 picks next year so the question is u believe that our depth is so bad that 20 rookies make the 53 man roster? I don't so trade them for the future.
1. Injuries. Fact is, they happen. And then, you're only as good as your 1st man off the bench, at that position.
2. Depth. It is important to have good, young talent always pushing the vets for roster spots.
3. Special Teams. You don't want to risk your starters on 'teams. Heck, some guys (Cedric Peerman, for one) make a living out of being a special teamer.
4. Finances. This team may look good right now, but in a couple years, several top quality vets are all going to command max deals, in the same offseason. If you don't want a total rebuild, then you better have some quality young stock on the shelf.
5. Jackpot factor. Truth is, a lot of late round guys develop into superstars. Look at George Iloka. He was what a 5th or 6th round pick? Now, he's upper tier for his position. This team does well in the middle rounds, as well. Just look at Geno Atkins and Clint Boling, both 4th rounders, I believe.
