BCC Weekend Edition

Just as long as they aren't these

Random Thoughts

-Are the Jaguars really getting new uniforms this year? Vic's fielded questions on it and the Jags have said they want to retool themselves to make Teal "their" color. Just as long as they don't mess with the helmet I'm cool.

-Madden 2010 is returning to the PC this year. An advanced thank you to EA when I get my copy of Torrents in August.

-The Draft is fast approaching this year. How about a BCC Draft Party?

-I'm compiling a "BCC Big Board" of how I rank the Top 75 prospects in the draft. That should be up by the end of next week.

How are things going for you on this Saturday, BCC?

Yeah I'm amazed that picture still exists

It was from a Times Union article during the 99? season.

Not jags...

What the heck is happening in New England? 34th pick for Matt Cassel AND Mike Vrabel? I thought they’d get more than a 2nd for Cassel alone. Even though with all the underclassmen an early second is worth a late first this year.

The thing that boggles my mind

is that Matt Schaub went to the Texans in exchange for 2 2nd rounders in consecutive years. Cassel AND Vrabel are only worth one 2nd rounder? I at least expected another pick in the 4th or 5th.

do they really

have 3 2nd rounders

WOW

I think it has to do with

the fact that Cassel needed to be traded.The Pats needed the cap space to give Wilfork more money and such.
Other teams were probably playing hard ball with the Pats. If no one traded for Cassel this year the Pats get nothing in return and they are out 14 mil.
Besides the Chiefs weren’t exactly hurting for another QB. Tyler Thigpen had similar numbers to Cassel and he didn’t have as much time to develop, he didn’t have Belacheat, nor did he have the receivers Cassel had.
Also there isn’t much of drop off from the first round to the top of the 2nd. And considering the Pat’s cap space situation, a second rounder is a lot cheaper.

VERY SOLID ANALYSIS... Right on Point as per usual EWD.

You always seem to “get it” bro… you are exactly right about this trade, The Pats were stuck with accepting less than they wanted to avoid the big time payout Cassel was due.

I thought that too

Until I saw that the Lions, Buccaneers, and Broncos were also in the preliminary trade talks. It seems that if so many teams were interested than a deal could’ve been done that was more reasonable in the Pats favor. I understand that the Patriots had to get rid of Cassel while they could so they didn’t have to pay for him and could clear space, but it just seems like they might’ve been able to wait a little longer to get the most out of the trade possibilities rather than get rid of him only 2 months after the season.
