*What is Philly Doing?

[iamslm22]

I've written some pretty harsh trade reviews in my day, but this...is pretty spot-on. 

Whenever overhauling a team, the first question you have to ask is: are we going for sustained relevance or a championship?  If a championship, when would our window be?  You then ignore all acquisitions that would cease to be useful prior to that window.

I had Philly's window as beginning S14.  Kamaka, therefore, has just over 0 value.  Not only will he not be on the team for the championship, he won't be on the team for the preceding seasons to even help attract FAs and show upward momentum.  The only reason to sign him would be to boost morale of defensive players who are becoming upset at lack of stats.  Well, BWIII is their only veteran defender, and he is a GM.  Is the GM losing hope?  If so, that is a major problem.

As for Bly, I don't think a 409 TPE CB is of high value.  Granted, it's a spot on the roster on any team, but the S12 draft class is guaranteed to have a 2nd round DB who will well exceed that value by S14.

Yea I completely agree about the CB. I didn't even think about it as a one for one trade of a CB. Lets say they chose a DB there, you're right that they would certainly be in better position to draft a better CB than Bly. And that's IF Sapp stays there. I wouldn't even say the LR was getting impatient, because most of them have been in the DSFL. Brown seems fine with losing for now - and the rest of their team who weren't GMs were in the DSFL. So yea - I really don't get this trade.
