if tate falls to the second would you give up a first....

[micnificent28]

thats the situation i see playing out. since the ravens signed a wr,i see tate falling to the top of the 2nd round. if that happens do we trade next years first to snag him or pass him up????????

[Rags]

with the Ravens and Bengals quite a few WRs dropped. Everyone but Bryant shoudl be there in the second.

But no, I'm not willing to trade a first for Tate. Tate's good but there is a lot of talent in the draft, if he's not there when we pick (if the Rams pick Clausen/Bradford, don't be surprised if he's picked 33rd overall), so be it.

[Kevin Greene]

no

I think with the Ravens and Bengals out of the hunt for a WR, the Panthers will get a steal in the 2nd round.. I think Tate and/or Bay Bay Thomas could be sitting there for us. The Bills may take one of them in the 2nd round before us, but other than that, we should get one of them.

[Darth Biscuit]

I don't know about a first, but maybe 2011 second and fourth or something like that for him.

[pantherfan81]

Maybe a 2011 4th to move up but I think we can get a good WR at #47.

The Jets need defense, but they'll snag a receiver who's a high value pick. St. Louis, Tampa Bay, and Kansas City all sit at the top of the second round, and all of them need a number one receiver. Then you have Cleveland, Seattle, Buffalo, New England, and Miami to consider--they may not NEED receivers, but will grab a value pick there in a heartbeat.

That's a lot of teams between when Dez Bryant is selected and where we select. I wouldn't count on Tate. I wouldn't even count on Benn or LaFell. And given the bust rate of receivers, hell no I wouldn't trade next year's first to move up and get one. Not unless it was Dez Bryant, and even then I wouldn't be in too much of a rush.

We're not going to get a number one receiver in the draft this year. Fortunately, we already have one, and it's a lot easier to replace Moose than Smitty.

One of the things you need to consider is that Moore was completing a high percentage late last year, and the line gives him time. That's going to help young guys develop a lot. We should be able to draft a couple of guys with enough potential to field a decent unit, and we won't have to move up to do it.

That is a really tough call. I think Tate is the 2nd best offensive player in the draft behind CJ Spiller. I honestly could see a team taking him before they take Dez Bryant because of Bryant's off field trouble. I'll trust the team to do what it thinks is right. But I will say that if we want Matt Moore to be good next year we need to get a play maker opposite of Smitty.

I actually could see him falling into the 2nd round as well though. I think that the Jets are going to pass on a receiver. They have Edwards and Cotchery already and with Rex Ryan there I don't see them passing up some of these defenders...

bryant will go in the first probably to the broncos. then Tate will go to the rams, arrelious benn will go to the Bucs,then brandon laFell or damian williams will go to the patriots and dolphins. we could get Bay-Bay, Gilyard, or Jacoby Ford at #47

[jpniner]

what about our 2nd and 5th or 4th to move up to the 2nd to get Tate?

[Sloth]

Nope. Not a chance.

[The Saltman]

i have a sinking feeling we will not get a wr till the 3rd.

[panthers34]

no we should just draft marty gilyard

[jramsey4]

I'm almost convinced we will get a Dlineman in the 2nd. But yes I would trade a 1st for Tate. In most drafts Tate would be a surefire 1st round pick.
