If we pick 1st, Luck doesn't declare, who do you want?

[Carl Spackler]

Who do we get then, assuming we don't trade down?

[The Saltman]

I would want Patrick Peterson. But when was the last time a CB went first in the draft?

[C47]

Patrick Peterson, no doubt about it. David Gettis has shown me enough that I don't believe WR is a first round need. I would go with Peterson and if he didn't declare then I would try trading down before wanting to kill myself for having the worst luck in the world.....

[PanthaSan]

Weinke......

I keed, I keed.

[Delhommey]

If Luck doesn't declare, nobody in their right mind would trade up.

AJ Green is my choice.

hopefully a rookie pay scale would be in place. It would make trading down or staying put easier because of the lower investment on the salary.

Payscale or no, nobody's going to trade up to take a CB or WR with the first pick.

[Carl Spackler]

I'd say Peterson as well.

[rayzor]

a CB has NEVER been drafted first overall. NEVER...the only time a DB of any kind was drafted first overall was in 1956, Gary Glick, a safety.

if we want to draft him first, we should trade down.

btw...the last time a WR was drafted first overall was 1996, keyshawn johnson. although i will say that in '07 calvin johnson should have been drafted first overall instead of jamarcus russell. in fact most were saying that he should be drafted then and were surprised when crazy al took russell instead of megatron.

I can see it happening since their value would be 100% influenced by the other prospects.

Not really. A trade for the first overall would almost certainly involve future draft picks, most likely involving the following year's first as well as this year's second rounder at least AND it would involve a massive contract, even with a cap.

Only a franchise QB is worth that kind of sacrifice.

with all the talk aorund the league surrounding luck, there will more than likely be some insane offers going on.

it's going to be hard to pass either one up.

it would be awesome to find someone mike ditka stupid willing to give up a whole draft for the next peyton manning as well as a 1st and a 3rd the following year, but then i would think about the awesome success the redskins had from all those picks....*crickets*.

[rayzor]

one thing to consider if we did score a few draft picks, is....would we really want this team to get any younger?

[Delhommey]

I cannot for the life of me think of a reason to pass on such a good chance to get a true franchise QB.

If you have a franchise QB, you are going to the playoffs more often than not. From a pure business perspective, it's tough for any FO to try anything else.

I'll point out again that the only reason any team's traded out of what was considered a #1 QB slot in the last decade was when they didn't feel they (well, San Diego) felt they could sign him.
