Dukes and Woodson say trade down

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.

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.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
