Trade the #1 pick

[Davis83]

Man, I just watched a bunch of highlite videos of numerous college QB's. Luck, Locker, mallet, etc....

I've come to an opinion - just trade that #1 pick and garner some additional picks..... then draft TJ yates in the 3rd round and steal a solid QB.

His highlites look as impressive as any of the others - only difference is he didn't play for Stanford, Auburn, Alabama....etc high profile schools

He can make every kind of throw - and he can scramble when necessary. He's cool under pressure and has a short memory when things go bad (in other words he doesn't cry over spilt milk).

Trade that #1 for additional picks and get a good QB without financing the farm.

This truly is the dumbest thing I have ever read on this board and I have read some really dumb things.

Your opinion and you're entitled to it.

Yates is pretty athletic and played pretty damn great for what he had this year but if Luck comes out we take him imo.

I certainly would like Yates over Pike but no need to draft 2 QBs again. Luck is supposedly NFL ready and a franchise QB according to scouts, analysts and jock riding fans so can't pass on that.

Yates?

LMAO!!!! 

Homers. but I agree trade the pick.

Why the heck would you trade this pick? What possible good could come from passing on a guy that is being touted as the most sure thing at QB in the last decade?? Its the most important position in sports, a position where we have NEVER had a franchise QB and after 15 years of franchise existence you want to trade our first chance at getting one?? For what?? A defensive linemen or WR and a couple other role players?

I'm still a believer that if Luck's not there no one is gonna want to trade up to the #1 there really isn't another caliber player.

On a side note about trading, it's really strange, the way the draft order is falling it's looking like the first 10 picks will all get what position they need the most at their spot. With the draft order right now, and the idea that most likely the teams looking at trading up will be looking at QB, the highest pick that belongs to a team that might want a QB is Seattle at 11. While everyone that's looking for a QB below that pick will be able to get a 1st round worthy QB (Arizona, SF, Buffalo). So if Luck is not there they probably wont trade up since they should be fine where they are.

To sum it up, if Luck isn't there no ones going to trade up for that pick. Also to those who ask "what if he is there?", With an ENTIRE new staff we probably go QB.

Don't trade the pick unless you can get the Herschel deal. I don't want to hear about getting a 1st this year, 1st next year, and a 2nd pick this year. Those three players could be busts and Luck turns out to be the best QB in the NFL two years down the road. I would rather have 9 or 10 busts, and Luck turns out to be the best QB two years down the road.

No group of players are worth "the best QB in the NFL" which Luck could be in a few years. If we trade out of getting Luck we are the dumbest franchise in the NFL and JR doesn't deserve to own a team. Its not going to happen though...

[Nicbsbll2]

My belief is that if Luck comes out and we trade the pick, no matter how much we are given, it will top the Sea Gilbert trade as the worse move in franchise history.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

hah

ha

haaa...

...oh wait, you were serious. lol not even the best QB in the ACC.

I remember watching Yates play, he has improved since his horrible days as a qb. I don't see him being a successful Qb in the NFL. After all he has had some talented WR's to throw to and still sucks. I don't understand how anyone would consider this guy to be drafted unless you are a die hard UNC fan and if you are it explains why you have made this dumb thread.

Solid QB plays for TCU.
