More ammo to move up and get Clowney next year
@mattbarrows: The condition: If Haralson makes the Saints roster, they'll send a seventh-round pick to San Francisco.
I guess on the positive side you don't usually get anything for a spot you have to cut anyway. Not saying we were going to cut PH, but we would have had to cut someone good, and promising.
Not sure if I like the deal for a 7th.
If you cut him, he still has to clear waivers. Some real crappy AFC team like the Jaguars or Raiders could have scooped him off the waivers. So would you rather him be completely out of the picture for nothing, or be on the Saints (a contender and possible playoff matchup) for a late 7th?

I think Haralson has been in the league long enough to not go through waivers, had he been cut. So he would have been able to sign anywhere.
I agree that getting a 7th doesn't look good, but it's something instead of nothing.
Wtf a seventh rounder ... Baalke whiffed even bigger than AJ Jenkins
Getting a 7th is always better than nothing which was the other option. We got younger, cheaper, and better at the position. I don't get the overvalue and disappointment for a fringe player that was getting cut.
