I absolutely hated the trade. This roster could not afford giving up two high draft picks for one player.
Thought the position was stupid too. We had just signed Carr to a huge deal, Scandrick was signed to a healthy deal, and still had Mike Jenkins playing in his contract year.
I did think Claiborne would be a better player than he has been but felt he was nowhere as good as Patrick Peterson. The Deion talk was and is laughable. The Rams desperately needed a CB and yet they were willing to trade away from Claiborne.
Just think had we used the picks, as rumored, on Michael Brockers and Bobby Wagner, and let the Mike Jenkins situation play out, we'd be in an ideal position to draft either Justin Gilbert or Darqueze Dennard at 16 right now. Meanwhile, Claiborne has not made a difference or any impact these past two years.
