Would you trade the number one overall pick?

I wouldn't be mad either way. Its a gamble wether they do it or not. Lets just hope there is a QB available at the 1st or 2nd round if we do. Granted Clausen makes major improvements this year. Also the #1 or #2 pick may be worth more than just a 2nd so thats something to consider.

we don't need to waste the pick on a QB. we should get a veteran to help clausen not draft yet another rookie.

i don't think we should trade it unless we can stay in the top 10 but my preference would be to take the #1 OT or DT. i'd be satisfied with either.

dream pick: Jake Long 2.0

The problem is there is no Jake Long in this draft, especially that early. They are going to have some tough choices to make and I think we are going to reach no matter what.

this. pretty much this.

if clausen or pike doesn't realllly turn it up - and I mean seriously turn it up not just post mediocre numbers - we're going to probably end up with a coach looking for a QB, and even if Luck isn't there we may grab a QB.

Yeah, when we did the Sheli trade with the Vagies, it was his rights for Rivers rights, their 04 3rd, and 05 1st and 5th round picks.

Also if there is a market for that pick, the bounty might become enough to pull the trigger. Arizona worked us against Chicago back in 98 in order to move up to 2 and take Leaf.

if there is a rookie cap in place i imagine that the #1 overall would be pretty tasty for someone wanting to trade up. we could end up getting 3 or 4 decent picks out of it.

i don't really want to stockpile rookies, though. i'd rather use the first or second overall on that pick and then spend spend spend on FA. i wouldn't even mind trading our 3rd rounder away of it meant getting a really good vet WR in here.

i could see trading that early pick away, getting a later 1st rounder and adding a vet or two from another team.

this team is too young and too out of balance. next year balance needs to be brought back. that doesn't mean bringing in a bunch of 30+ year olds, btw. just get guys with 4 or so years of experience to fill in at WR, DT, and OG and maybe a little help in the secondary.
