Waldo do you think Mathews is worth what he paid to get him? And also do you think he's a better fit for us than Barwin?Originally posted by WaldoComment

Titans take Britt......not bad.....
Overall Football Traits
Production 2 2006: Britt starts in six of the nine games he appears in as a true freshman catching 29 passes for a total of 440 yards and two touchdowns. 2007: Britt appears in 13 games catching 62 passes for a total of 1,232 yards and eight touchdowns. 2008: Britt starts 11 games catching 87 passes for a total of 1,371 yards and seven touchdowns. He carries the ball seven times for a total of 75 yards and one touchdown.
Height-Weight-Speed 2 Prototypical height, prototypical bulk and adequate top-end speed.
Durability 1 Durability doesn't appear to be a concern at this point.
Character 4 2008: Rutgers suspends Britt for Morgan State game for an undisclosed violation of team policy. Scouts have serious concerns regarding his maturity, work ethic and practice habits. Scouts who have interviewed him have described him to us as 'arrogant' and having 'an inflated opinion of his skills'.
Wide Receiver specific Traits
Separation Skills 3 Shows good footwork at the snap of the ball and can get a clean release working against press coverage, but could do a better job of using hands to swim/rip corners when they try to jam him. Appears to read defenses well and can locate seams working against zone coverage. Does an adequate job of gearing down quickly and squaring shoulders to quarterback on comeback routes. Chops feet too much and isn't as fluid or explosive as NFL teams would like coming out of breaks.
Ball Skills 3 A big target with strong hands. Elevates fairly well and can compete for jump balls. While he shows above-average body control in the air, he can lose focus when trying to make catches in traffic and occasionally drops a pass he gets his hands on. Does an excellent job locking onto the ball without breaking stride but has some problems catching passes thrown over shoulder when running vertical routes.
Vertical Speed 3 Isn't fast enough to consistently run past NFL corners. More of a long-strider that builds speed as he goes. Does seem to be deceptive once he reaches top gear but it takes him a while to get there, which doesn't always translate to the NFL game. He competes well for the jump ball and will make some plays down the sideline when he doesn't get slowed down at the line of scrimmage.
Run After Catch 3 Strong open field runner that fights for yards after contact. Lacks elite elusiveness and isn't going to make many defenders miss in space. Takes too long to reach top-end speed and isn't much of a threat to turn a catch underneath into a long gain.
Competitiveness and Toughness 3 Is willing to go over the middle and will make some tough catches in traffic. However, there have been a few occasions where he's caught taking his eyes off the ball to locate the safety. Takes adequate angles to blocks when asked to seal safeties/linebackers inside and flashes the ability to put defenders on back when asked to crack back. (See second-quarter of International Bowl following 2007 season) Gets adequate hand placement and flashes the ability to sustain once in position but doesn't deliver a violent initial punch or roll hips into blocks.Comment

Absolutely.
I would have taken him at #9.
Best 3-4 LB in the draft, inside or out.
I had about #10-#12 value on him.

Then its a fairly close trade. 820 to 890 is a 7.86% difference. Not a huge margin at all if you love the player.Originally posted by red
You're not going to fleece the Pats. I could honestly see them picking Matthews is TT doesn't pony up enough.Comment

I love day 1!!! Raji and Matthews... I couldn't be any happier right now...Comment

What's going on? First Wist likes our 1st round pick, and then TT trades up, and people think he's crazy.I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd

Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up

It all depends on how he performs. If he turns out to be worth the move by coming in and starting, being a very good pass rusher, etc. then it would have been completely worth it.Originally posted by redAll hail the Ruler of the Meadow!Comment

26 = 700Originally posted by TheCheese
162 = 27
41 = 490
73 = 225
83 = 175
727 for 890
Basically, Ted tossed in the Jets/Favre trade in for free.
Truly end of Favre era - gave him away for nothing!The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.
