Moving Down to 12


DaveThePanther2008

Recommended Posts

I am not one to normally look to trade out of a position but the thought came about when I notice a fellow huddler mentioned it is possible all the really big names at big positions we need are gone.  That got me thinking about #12 since Cleveland has 2 picks in round 1.   For that scenario to occur Cleveland would have to pick someone else other than a QB at #1.

You know Cleveland would like a QB and if one is available at 8 they might be willing to trade up to get him.

If we were to trade down what would we get in addition to the 12th pick?  I don't have the chart that tells a fair exchange.

At 12 who would be worthy of that pick?

Or how about Joe Thomas and the 12th pick?  Would any of you do this?

No fugging way they trade Thomas.  They got crucified for dismantling that OL (minus Thomas) and got the QBs murdered this year.  Especially with them getting a new QB, the last thing they want is the kid to get David Carr'd 

 

That being said. Say Watson is sitting there.  I'd be baiting the crap out of Arizona.  You know they are drooling over him (has put on shows there the last 2 years in the playoffs) And they need a QB bad!

If we did move back, what kind of pick do you think we'd get in exchange for doing so? A 2nd or a 3rd? Should we ask for a pick in next years draft? Cleveland is in a position to make such a deal because they will have a surplus of picks for the next couple of years.

As for Thomas, I like that original proposal, but I doubt the Browns would risk doing that. As they guy brought out above, the last thing you want is for your rookie QB to get destroyed behind a crappy offensive line.

They'd have to include Veldheer or Humphries for me.  Quite frankly I can't see why they would want to keep Veldheer.  They are cap strapped and his number shoots up to $10 million this year. Humphries simply can't play RT but they did invest a 1st in him.

Not sure if they'd give up one of those 2 players.  But we've seen in recent years.  If a teams Needs a QB and a guy they fall in love with is there, they trade the bank.  Could get a 1st rounder or this and next years 2nds

    • So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.   
    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
