    Yes, I do have a problem with it. It's not realistic.

    I think it's hilarious when you say: "I thought about trading for INSERT NAME HERE" - once again, who are you, Mike Tannenbaum?

    Okam and Rubin were late round picks in 2008. Both are unconditioned backups that have no trade value at all.

    Why would the Jets or any other team want to give up picks in next year's draft? 2010 could be the best draft of all time.

    Don't bother. The fact that he thinks Thomas Jones is a 'straight ahead power back (HAHAHAHA) pretty much invalidates his argument for the runningbacks.

    Frank Okam is a big mistake. He fell in his draft year because he is slow at the point of attack and does not have great punch for a guy of his size. Big slow and lazy do not make a good 3-4 NT. We passed on him several times in the 2008 draft and I do not see Mike t back tracking on a guy he could have had in the 4th that year.

    The Same story can be used for Rubin. Big, slow and Lazy. Horrible speed off the snap. These guys did well in the NCAA's but lack the speed and skills to hold up against NFL linemen every week. Rubin went in the 6th round. Another guy Mike T felt no need to look at in the mid rounds so I don't think we would part with a mid rounder for him now. These guys offer nothing over any player we have at NT for now, I would not want to invest assets in either of them.

    exactly.

    might as well throw Red Bryant into the mix as well. they are all 4-3 NTs.
