We must figure out a way to trade down

I know JR said it would not happen but that was before Luck decided to stay in college.

With all our needs and the price tag of the 1st round pick it makes alot of sense.The question is how can we pull it off?

I feel the more picks in rounds 1 through 3 the better off we will be as a team.When you think about it the number 1 pick is reserved for a franchise qb which I do not see in this draft.

So if I understand this correctly if we have a CBA in place we could package a trade using a FA but without one its a matter of giving up picks.What does everyone think we could get to trade down?Would it be possible to get a low number 1 and low number 2?

First of all, I don't think it's possible. But let's assume that someone actually wants to trade up...we'd get a lot more than a low first and a low second.

No point trading down. No team is gonna give up much to move up most likely w/ no superstud at #1. No point giving away the pick for what ultimately will be little.

what I fear is Hurney trading our future #1 again

Well that my point if we give up enough could we entice someone trade up or is it a mute point and accept our 50 million dollar man.

anything could happen between now and then.......ANYTHING. End of story. There have already been 500 threads about this already. Just read back thru some of them and you'll get all the information you need......... along with everyone's opinion.

Honestly I don't always have a problem trading a number 1, if you get a number 1 back. I would be totally fine with say the following example.

We take Fairley with the Number 1 pick, then say if Newton were to slide to about 15 or so, I would try and trade back into the first round by trading next years number 1.

    • Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at. 
    • Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often. 
    • With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
