Its between us and the Bills for the #1 pick

I doubt we would even use the #1 overall pick, considering how much it would cost. The first pick will more than likely be the best pass rusher or DT available. Highly doubt AJ Greene is selected unless they plan on trading Smith or they bring in an offensive minded coach. I'd personally choose Greene, but again, probably won't happen.

Could see the 49ers, Bills, or Browns each trying to trade for it to get Luck if the Panthers have the #1 pick.

There's Kiper's Big Board for 2011. There's not a Lineman listed until Nate Solder at #17. Which could work. We could trade to the mid-1st round, pick up a 2nd in the process.

Entirely not against that.

But who would be in a posistion to need one of the predicted overall #1's that would trade for it?

The Bengals will need a real heir for Palmer that doesn't have the same last name soon. Maybe this draft even.

I'm not sure.

If the CBA is in place, and the rookie cap is up, then the top picks become HIGHLY valuable to just about every team.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
