Dukes and Woodson say trade down

[Highlandfire]

On NFLN they were talking Sr Bowl and our first overall pick. They state the obvious, we have several needs and need more picks. They also state the obvious, there are no QB's worth #1.

Yeah I know same old same old, but it was someone new saying it.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Yeah, but is it a good idea for another team to use multiple picks to trade up for a DT, CB or WR?

[Mr. Scot]

Maybe Don Gregory was talking about Jamie Dukes.

[Swarly]

easier said than done.

they are saying literally the exact same thing EVERYONE says about any team with a #1 overall pick, and it is almost never traded.

[2jakefansinva]

oh please.........give me more Jamie Dukes quotes.

[KDawg004]

Definately don't see it happening. I'm hoping someone blows up in the combine and have some team foolish enough to trade up for them. I personally don't think any of these top prospects are worth the #1 pick. I rather trade down multiple times in the 1st round and stack up on picks. It would be great to have an elite player but I rather get a really good player with plenty of others that can provide depth and even be good starters for us.

[gotsmart?]

Normally I would agree, but Jamie Dukes is a fuging retard.

[CatMan72]

Brilliant idea, I'm glad they thought of that...

[Delhommey]

Next they'll be saying we should draft an Aaron Rodgers like QB later in the round.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Teams generally only trade up to the #1 spot for a highly-touted franchise QB prospect (aka Luck). Even with the old CBA that handed top picks massive contracts teams still traded up for Vick, Eli Manning and teams tried to trade up for Bradford last year but the Rams wanted to keep the pick.

Even if one of the QB needy teams in the top 10 falls in love with Gabbert or Newton they will most likely stay put and hope their guy falls to them. Maybe a team with a mid to late first will trade up but even then they won't move all the way up to #1 overall.

You have to hope one of these QBs blow up the combine and then really sell the idea that you will take them yourself. That's the only way I can see it happening and that's not very likely.

[mav1234]

the best chance of us trading down is if one of the top prospects, likely one of the quarterbacks, becomes a "can't miss" prospect...

...in which case why do we think the Panthers would pass on such a player?

[BBQ&Beer]

Sweet... Who's a DT, CB, WR,RB, etc.. from the playoffs?

[PantherFan52]

Jamie Dukes is a mongoloid. I really can't stand that guy

[Carolinator]

:eek:Trade down and miss a chance of getting E.J. Green?
