We aren't the Pats we have a bit of re-building to do and we have extra trade ammo in McCarron so now is the time to pull the trigger. It's a blessing that we have something we can trade that holds value to other teams. The gap between how we value him and other teams would is too large because he rides the pine for us. There are backups all over the place holding on to one that other teams see in high regard is silly when you are picking 9th in the draft.
As far as Richardson goes the defense hinges on the d-line and it has been neglected just as badly as the o-line has so no complaints from me. This team isn't going to sniff the playoffs if we can't stop the run regardless unless we just play lights out on offense. Richardson gives us help right away and won't need to develop his game.
Great post, we would also be getting a proven player here instead of an unknown draft pick.
We need proven players cause most of our coaches don't know how to coach up draft picks as of late.
