g-dawg Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 If you were Thomas Dimitroff(GM of Atlanta Falcons), would you be interested in Marcus Stroud? and, if so, what would you be willing to give up(assuming a draft pick) to get Marcus? I now Marcus has had some injury history and failed a steroid test, so he does have some warts - but when healthy, he is a talented player.Whaddya think?

g-dawg Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 I think I would only give up a 4th rounder for several reasons:1) something is up w/ Stroud if Jags willing to trade him2) Stroud will cost a lot of $$$-much more than a draft pick not in 1st round3) failed drug test(don't know details but think it was steroids)4) injury historyThat is too many negatives to give up a high draft pick.....I would love to have him, but only on the cheap.....

DefenseWinzCliche Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I think he's worth a mid 1st rounder easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemDirtyBirds4 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I would say a 4th, maybe a 3rd. You have to remember the Pats got Moss for a 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoS oUtLaW Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 A low second to a mid third. The guy is a beast and has little character issues. What more could anyone want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu 7 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Guys. We're rebuilding.We're trying to get younger and cheaper.Trading a pick for a DT that has years of abuse is going in the wrong direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're rebuilding.We're trying to get younger and cheaper.Trading a pick for a DT that has years of abuse is going in the wrong direction.you dont have to rebuild at every position on the field, therefore will leave us with inexperienced players and it will be a worse season then last year..and yes it can get worse as in only winning 1,2,or 3 games worse...

Goat Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 DemDirtyBirds4 (2/28/2008)I would say a 4th, maybe a 3rd. You have to remember the Pats got Moss for a 4th.It really bothers me that everyone uses the "Moss for a 4th" excuse. He was dealt for a 4th rounder because he wanted out of Oakland and was a huge distraction day in and day out. Not only that but his play indicated that he couldn't ball anymore. You guys do know that they gave up a 2nd round pick for Welker right? I never hear anyone mention that..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconMama Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 lol @ 3rd round pick..This guy just had microfracture surgery last year... 2 ankle injuries back to back, I'd be suprised if he can pass a physical at this point. Now I must admit when healthy, Stroud is a **** of a player but the key word WHEN.I wouldnt be suprised if Stroud was released and not traded.

isproab Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I think the rate for players has changed over the last few years. Didn't Stroud end the year on IR? Some kind of knee injury or something like that. Wrong side of 30 and an injury, 4th round at very best. His base salaries are 5, 5.5 and 6 million over the next 3 seasons.It appears as if we are going young, if thats the case, why would we bring in a guy that is going to be 30 when the season starts and command that kind of money? We could lock D. Hall up for that type of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f@lc0n$ Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 If we could trade for stroud using a 4th round pick i would deffiently take thati would then be tempted to trade down with the cowboys for their #22, #28 and marion barber#3=2200#22=780#28=660#22 + #28= 14402200-1440=760That means barber is valued as a #23 pickThen i would trade Hall to the giants for #31 and a 3rd Rounderi would then draft accordingly#22-Branden Albert OG#28-Kenny Phillips FS#31-Carl Nicks OT2nd Round- Brian Brohm QB2nd Round- Pat Sims DT3rd Round- Curtis Lofton MLB3rd Round- John Greco OT3rd Round-Zack Bowman CB4th Round-Jermichael Finley TE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanTheFootballFan Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Outside of some recent injury problems, I don't think that anyone can make an argument that Stroud is not a top 5-8 DT in the Leauge right now, and he is obviously familiar with the defensive staff and the scheme they will be employing. Oh yeah, and he's a homer, so there is always that (often underconsidered) financial aspect of bringing a few more butts to the abundance of empty seats the Dome is sure to see next year, based purely on the 'shock value' of bringing in a NFL star from the home state. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
