About the Brandon LLoyd signing, I like him as a player, but I also think that in doing so, he could take snaps away from Quinton Patton, who is much younger has upside and started to break out a bit last year. Also we still have Jon Baldwin and an early draft pick. But it is a low risk signing, so I'll withhold judgment.
To be honest the time to trade LaMichael James was last year. If we get a 6th rounder for him thats good. Though I would prefer a 6th and a future 6th. Dude has gamebreaking speed but is vision as a ball carrier is lacking and he is just a decent returner.
