For those upset we might not draft offense with #1...

Trade down it the only real option, with Bowers being the #2 option.

You say trade down as if its an easy thing to do, even with Luck declaring we would have struggled to get true value for the number 1. Without him nobody wants the number 1 pick and even if they did they would know we don't want it so we wouldn't get adequate compensation.

Answer these questions for me:

1) Which team is going to trade with us?

2) Why would said team want to trade with us instead of staying where they are at where they can still get good value?

3) What would said team give up to trade with us? (Remember, if a CBA isn't in place, then you can't trade players)

I'm seeing a draft day thread. Convince the Bengals at #4 that we are taking Green. Trade down to #4 and take their second (#35) this year and another pick next year.

I'm bad at figuring what trades are worth

That sounds about right but now way do the Bengals, an old team, trade that much for a WR in a poor draft class. THere is no value in this draft.

probably.

The good think about Luck not declaring is that it gives Hurney an opportunity to wheel and deal and improve our situation. Hope he comes through.

I thought the same thing but, after reading a few articiles that might not be the case. Some (football insiders) think that with the rookie salary cap the #1 pick will be worth more. And someone out there will want to gaurantee they get their man.

I wouldn't be totally opposed to Peterson, but the Free Agent class of CB's is too strong to use the pick on him.

Pickup a solid FA corner to go opposite of Gamble then draft Peterson to safety (if willing).

The guy is close to 6'2 220 and runs around a 4.3. Not sure what kind of 4-3 Rivera would run but Peterson would be a Killer cover 2 Safety.

The WR class isn't weak either. I believe Rice and Vincent Jackson (played at SD with Rivera)

Great....moving players all over the defense again.

You don't use the number one pick on an experiment. You don't use it on a player who you wanna convert to another position.

And you really think Rice and Jackson are gonna end up in Free Agency?

Doubt it. Behind a couple big names that are 99% to be resigned to their own teams, the WR class is weak.

    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.     
    • wow i absolutely LOVED watching that.   will watch again...and again...and again.
