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.

    • The motto means nothing if they lay down and submit to the opponent. One of the most embarrassing things I have seen from twenty years of being a fan.  Regardless if the lead seems to be insurmountable, you keep giving 110% untill the final second. Canales is definitely a Beta and it wasn't a good look at all. I wonder what the locker room was whispering about after that sh%t. I hope we never see this again and he actually grows a pair of balls. He needs to look in the mirror and understand that you just don't do that in the NFL. Maybe peewee football so kids don't get hurt. Throw the 3rd stringers in to run the play and finish the game wirh some some pride and don't bend the knee.  
    • No but we should have kept both of them. People complaining about what he got paid can’t say much now because it’s absolutely worth it to get 15 sacks which we could desperately use, especially when you compare it to some of the free agents we have signed to try to replace that production (none of them have come close and we are wasting good money on them) 
    • That period started rough but the canes stayed with it.  They will when this game 3-1 or 4-2 the way it’s going.
