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.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
