Iowa City/Newark

[roadrash]

Iowa City trades:

2005 1st round (4th Overall) Pick
2006 1st Round Pick
2007 2nd Round Pick
QB Winston Ames

for Newarks

QB Chris Chaplin
DE Justin Jones

We agree!

Bye, bye

I've got to ask. What is up with the future draft picks you got from him? A QB in his prime is worth that #19 alone IMO.

I bet if you split Jones and Chaplin apart you would have gotten more, but who knows.

I am thinking he does not want Iowa City's first round pick this year because he has cap troubles....hence the future picks.

yeah. suppose you may be right, i have not looked at the specifics of what this does for each team yet, was just guessing

[MrBigglesworth]

And they've still got the #4, #19, and #36 overall picks in the draft - he didn't even have to give up his high second rounder from this year!! An absolute steal.

If I am reading this thread right, the #4 pick is part of this trade. I think you may have thought it was a 4th rounder.

Back to re-evaluating this trade. I definitely misread the trade.

I'd say the trade favors Newark (now that I've been corrected). Like I mentioned, I believe Chaplin may have been worth the #19 by himself. Jones for a future 1st, 2nd, and Ames? Okay, that's pretty close. I'd even give Newark the edge on that half of the deal too - guess it all depends on how Iowa City fares next year.

Newark getting the #4 overall pick is VERY good for them as I hear the upcoming draft is a good one.

[Cringer]

Wow, I missed that that was #4 overall too. Much better deal then.... :shock:

[Matt]

Good deal for both teams, I think.

I was really stuck with cap problems and I felt restricted enough that I didn't feel I could build around these 2.

We have 2 1sts this year and next. We'll see what happens.

I can't say enough how good Jones was for me these past 2yrs.
Hopefully I'm able to get something done with the picks I got in return :roll:

[Matt]

The thing about all trades is about perception of value. We all value players differently by either over or undervaluing guys.
Value ends up being what you trade someone for, plain and simple.
It's now up to me to insure that I don't find a way to fuck this up

[Cringer]

Oh yeah, neither or us have a problem with the trade as it is. We thought it was a little unbalanced though because we thought you were getting a 4th rd pick this year, not the 4th overall...

just bad reading by us
