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


Recommended Posts

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.

    • I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction
