The one thing that did piss me off was the way that Booms was spinning it like their only options were going to be to stay at 4 and use all of their players or to trade down. Booms was ranting & raving about "we're not going after Matt Flynn (hope this is true)" or "we're not interested in trading up for RG3." They bring forth what info suits their agenda. Heckert CLEARLY said that they WOULD use both 1st rounders to move up if they desired leaving ALL options (trade up/stay put/trade down) on the table. 92.3 chose not to bring the "trade up" scenario up though.
They felt that Heckert was horrible at "bluffing" spreading his "gloom & doom" by saying "No Manning, No Flynn, No RG3, No free agents, etc."
I don't expect them to go hog wild in free agency because at their current cap number they aren't going to have a lot to throw around (unless they start cutting vets..Steinbach/Fujita/Watson), but I do expect them to add a few starters.
If they DON'T do this and choose to play the "slow and steady wins the race we will ONLY build through the draft", we're doomed. That's another 3-5 years before the team will be able to compete if they don't inject ANY key free agents.
