george: i hear what you're saying, but the day my team loses a game on purpose to better its draft position is the day I jump ship to a new team. Losing breeds losing at any level--Look at the NBA--there is a handful of perenially rotten teams who are labeled "Lottery teams."
In a second I would make that deal..if all these pickups make the difference they should our 2nd next year should be a low pick anyway. Of course it wouldn't be enough to get him.
I'd take that deal in a New York minute. Watch this guy, folks. Don't pay attention to the football people who say that Chris Long is the second coming of Lawrence Taylor. Just watch him for yourself. This guy is the real deal. He's going to be the best defensive player on whichever team in the top 6 grabs him. If we draft this guy, we win forever.
