Man I hope we trade down.

There just isn't a player there we should invest in. None of the QB's are worth #1, there are ? About the Dlinemen, and you never take a CB first overall esp when you still have pass rush issues.

I am really hoping JR and hurney are willing to curb their egos and take a little less than normal to get out of that spot.

Unfortunately every other team knows the same thing. :(

Problem is, other teams probably feel the same way - so why would they trade up?

[Delhommey]

I'm sure someone would give us a second rounder for it.

Well fortunately some teams for some reason must have X guy no matter what. It will help a ton if a rookie cap is in place.

I can see a Jerruh Jones making the phone call, I just hope they look at the overall, long term needs for the team and trade down. It won't be what they would get in normal years. And we can't screw them like Washington did to us with Gilbert... :mad:

But offers will be there.

Some of us are hoping that someone like Washington or Dallas falls in love with a guy and tries to trade up.

I would just say that there is also the possibility that we fall in love with one of these guys as well and won't trade the pick.

Not to be a bummer :)

I agree, I would love to trade down, especially since it would increase the chance we take the guy I want us to take - AJ Green. But if we do trade down, I hope it's not out of the top 5. I still want one of the #1 at their position guys: Dareus, Peterson, Green, Bowers/Quinn (whichever is deemed #1). I suppose I wouldn't even mind if we end up taking Gabbert. If Hurnivera deem him worthy of a shot to be our franchise QB, I'll take their word for it for now. As long as we still get one of those 4 or 5 guys I'll be ecstatic about a trade down, even if it only nets us a 2nd round pick.

let's hope that somebody, like the skins, is stupid enough to give you a 2nd-rounder for smitty...thus, you can go for green at 1st ovr and draft a nice qb-prospect in the 2nd...

i know i know, that's unrealistic but you never know.

[JawnyBlaze]

Smitty most likely isn't going anywhere. I'd rather the Skins give us their #1 this year and next year and a 2nd this year for our #1.

ahahahahaha...that would be "awesome" if they do two stupid deals in back-to-back years ahahahahaha.

[Highlandfire]

now something to think on (killing my own thread....) IF we have free agency and IF we get one or two of the better DT's that would be available... then we pick Peterson.

We have DE's which I think we can agree on? LB isn't bad in fact we have Beaston (spelled that way for a reason) etc and can get another LB in Free agency if we need it. If we can shore up DT in Free agency, THEN we have the pieces to be able to take a guy like Peterson and have an instant upgrade across the board on Defense.

Man I wish we still had our 2nd rounder :-(

[JawnyBlaze]

Yea, that's a fine plan for making our defense, which is already at worst middle of the road, into a top defense. The biggest problem is that it doesn't address our offense, which is the worst in the league. Not as many offensive players available in the 3rd and later that will make an impact as defensive players.

[bwhit33]

Falcons only had to give up a second to move from 5 to 1 when they got vick... and he was the consensus #1 exciting prospect... is there one of those this year?

[grateflday]

Man I hope........ Hurney, Rivera, etc do all the due dillegence and come to the conclusion that Cam Newton can be a franchise QB then pick him #1. Otherwise I guess trading down would be fine with me, but if that happens it means they determined Cam cant become "the guy" and we are going to be depending on just Clausen and having to look for a QB next draft :ack2: Of course, if we want to be able to draft one of the top guys will either have to have a suck a** season again or trade picks to move up :ack2:
