We must figure out a way to trade down

[jarhead]

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.

Just have to hope someone falls in love with Fairley, Green, or Bowers and they are afraid that Denver will take them.

It's a long time between now and April....lots of crazy things can happen.

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.

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.

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

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.

Well then there is proof positive why there needs to be a rookie salary cap

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.

If we can get a 2012 1st, a mid 2011 first, and a 2011 second. Then I wouldn't mind. (For you Luck fans, that could parlay into trading 2 firsts to move up next year)

from what I've heard.......just about everyone believes that. Players. owners, fans etc........the only one's against it would be ....agents and top 10 picks.

Can someone please give my some hypothetical scenario of what would happen if we "trade down?"
