Since we are all talking about trading out of the #1 pick, I figured I would compile a list of #1 trades that have happened recently, although very rare. I also included picks #1-5 trades from 1992-current.

I hope this will give you an idea on what we could get IF a team falls in love with a player.

1995 - Panthers traded #1 to the Bengals for the #5 and #36 picks
#1 Pick - RB Ki-Jana Carter

1997 - Jets traded #1 to the Rams for the #6, #67, #102, and #207
#1 Pick - T Orlando Pace

2001 - Chargers traded #1 to the Falcons for the #5, #67, next 2nd, and WR Tim Dwight
#1 Pick - QB Michael Vick

2004 - Chargers traded #1 to the Giants for #4, #65, next 1st, next 5th
#1 Pick - QB Eli Manning (Manning/Rivers trade)


Picks #1-5 Trades from 1992-Current...

#1 traded for 5,36 (1995)
#1 traded for 6, 67, 102, 207 (1997)
#1 traded for 5, 67, next years 2nd, and WR (2001)
#1 traded for 4, 65, next years 1st, next years 5th (2004)
#3, 63 traded for 11, 41, 70, 100 (1997)
#3 traded for 12, 24, 119, 154 (2000)
#4 traded for 6, 28 (1992)
#4 traded for 13, 22, 116 (2003)
#5 traded for 7, 83 (1994)
#5 traded for 12, 71, 107, 144, 179, 218, next 1st, next 3rd (1999)
#5 traded for 17, 52 (2009)

Good work, rep.

[rmoneyg35]

Nice job on finding out that info. As much as I would love to see us trade our pick I just don't see it happening this year. CBA issues and the fact there is no clear #1 pick makes it hard for a team to want to give up much for the #1 pick.

We should not have traded that pick! I was so pissed off!!! Steve McNair was the pick. He was right there for the taking. A future MVP! Pass. We have one good year then fall off the reservation until the Fox era. Missing on that guy set us back 6 years!!! It was an easy pick!!

Still hurts. Sorry.

How do you think the Bengals feel?

How do you think the Bengals feel?

You know. Whenever I start to feel bad for myself I always think, "At least I am not a Bengals fan."

Even today.

Bengals, Browns, Raiders, Bills, Lions.

2004 - Chargers traded #1 to the Giants for #4, #65, next 1st, next 5th

2004 - Chargers traded #1 to the Giants for #4, #65, next 1st, next 5th, and 10,000 vicodins

Fixed.

There's no clear #1 according to most people, but all it takes is one team to fall in love with a player. I think Buffalo and Cam Newton may be the best bet.

I'd love to see us move down a couple of spots and pick up some additional picks, but who knows, maybe our staff and front office is in love with a player?

You forgot the 2001 Michael Vick/Tomlinson trade...

There just doesn't seem to be players of that caliber in this draft, so I don't expect a trade.

Edited, how could that one slip...thanks.

Buffalo would be ideal, but if we don't "bluff" or whatever you want to call it to sell the fact that we will take Cam, why would the Bills trade with us? Denver is the only team between us and them, and no way does Denver take Cam. I just wonder since there is no clear cut guy and the CBA bizz, if the compensation this year would be less than in the past. I know there is a value chart, but I don't know if that chart is in play this year or on down years.

[OchoNueve]

I would take a #5 and # 36 for sure...

That should land us AJ Green, Patrick Peterson, or Marcell Dareus at #5
and another young QB like Locker or Mallet to compete with Clausen at #36

SMOKESCREEN!!!

Hard to tell who is bluffing, saying positive things for leverage, saying negative things to manipulate draft status, leaking info for personal gain, etc.

Makes you want to go to sleep and wake up in April so this sh*t will be over.
