With No Football in 2011..Who's 1st in 2012

The Lockout seems to be getting worse and to be honest I am concerned about football in 2011.

And since the Newton Topics and the Draft Pick Topics are beaten to death I thought I would ask. Who would you target as the #1 Pick in 2012.

Obviously with Andrew Luck being the top prize (providing he doesn't pull a Locker) we could get a Kings Ransom for the #1 Pick. But regardless we would end up with a nice pick.

I am not up on the players coming out in 2012 other than Luck and possible Barkley.

If you had decision on the #1 Pick for us. Who would it be?

The smartest thing to do is trade that #1 to someone who will pay for Luck, imagine what that is worth. Then with all those picks we will be set in the draft for years to come, to fully supply Cam with the pristine ammo. Not only that but all these picks will be under the new CBA rules. It's time Hurney started investing in our future with our franchise QB draft wise instead of selling the future. I see this as a perfect opportunity for redemption.

Surley with all the picks we will get for 2012 and 2013 in the trade Cam will have a stud team around him. I see the trade for Luck at #1 as probably the biggest trade deal that will happen up to this point in history.

I could not imagine no football but if it is going to happen 2011 would be the best time, for us that is.

I agree trading the number one pick away would be adventagous but most likely we would still end up with at top 5 or 10 pick. I would like us to take a Stud CB. Or a mammoth LT to groom to replace Jordan Gross.

Draft Luck and let him and Cam compete for the starting position. The one that loses would still garner some nice draft picks.

or it could end up with teams thinking , the one that loses the qb battle doesn't have as much upside as originally thought, and they treat the qb like a backup in the nfl .. 2nd rd pick for them etc .

So nobody knows who officially gets the number one pick....I would think they would do a NBA Lottery type of thing with the top 8 or 10 teams...I would pray Carolina gets the first pick again so we could rape some team (probably San Fran) for some draft picks..

This... and with a rookie cap it would be feasible to draft two QB's # 1 overall two years in a row.

This was asked a couple months back and the rules would be the draft order stays the same.

We would have #1 pick.

I didn't take that into account , but regardless would that not mean luck would have a slight lean in the qb battle , since with last years rookie scale cam will make a butt ton of money while luck would have a much smaller contract ?

If we are the number 1 overall next year and Luck is out and he proves himself again this year in college and with a new coach, you take him. You worry about what to do with them afterwards.

Only time you don't take him is if you find a team willing to go Atlanta Falcons and give up even more to go get him.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
