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

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.....

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*.

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.

    • Well, Hooker was a guy that was drafted in the 3rd round pick sitting behind a well established starter yet Detroit somehow saw enough to let him go after two offseasons.  Where does that fit into your ideal situation?
    • Like that matters. That's the first thing. I suggested that it's probably better to let a QB sit and learn, and that's what I meant. Secondly, in what planet am I making excuses, my friend, or engaging in any mental gymnastics in Bryce Young's defense? As I have said, I don't care if he turns into Mighty Mouse, it's time for him to go. In my opinion, he's too short to be a successful QB in the NFL. I have seen enough. I'd rather trade him and take my chances with Hooker, at least he's more of a prototypical size and can actually see where and why he's throwing the ball.
    • There is a scenario where our team comes out prepared to play football instead of shitting the bed for the first quarter. Every bad Bryce game seems to start with him looking incompetent - the OL looking incompetent - and the defense looking incompetent.  Boom, down 14 before we know what hit us. Imagine a world where we come prepared and play with a lead, and Bryce gets to fulfill his ceiling by managing a game instead of playing catch up. He's bad, but upon reflection he is not Clausen bad.  He can move the team down the field when he gets 4 - 5 seconds in a clean pocket against a soft zone.  I don't think Clausen could do that.
