Considering how effective Rick Smith has been on mid round picks, I wouldn't give up multiple picks for this guy.

I'm sure the Jags would wet their pants if some (+/-) .500 club offered them their first two picks for an unproven rookie.

Keep in mind that Derrick Harvey was the #9 overall pick, and that the Jags gave up up their 1st, two 3rds, and a 4th to trade up and get him.

Even if you don't think the texans will improve on 8-8, the 2009 middle round 1st and 2009 middle round 3rd still isn't enough ammo for a #9 overall selection.

We gave up 3 picks for Babin and look how that turned out. I'll take our chances picking up a DE in the draft next year. Kubes and Smith look lile they know how to address problems, and we had so many going into this year that pass rusher might not be the one they fill. Hopefully Chaun Thompson can show some ability to come off the edge, or Roosevelt will find his gear.

sure it would be nice to have a legitimate rushing, tackling, sacking RDE.

Why is it the Hags fans want to give him to us? Just because he's holding out? If the Jags are desperate, maybe we could trade them a couple of our DE's and call it done since Harvey isn't signed yet.

I don't like the idea of throwing away a bunch of draft picks for an unproven holdout either, or for any trade actually.

Ditto. And 3 picks for Babin was on the Casserly/Capers watch. We would rather not be reminded of those two dumb heads. No, and heck NO to the Harvery trade thought.
