McCloughan Claims Seven Top-Ten Teams Want To Trade Down

Posted by Mike Florio on April 22, 2009, 5:23 p.m. EDT

It has been rumored for weeks that several teams drafting in the top ten want to trade back.

On Wednesday, 49ers G.M. Scout McCloughan confirmed it.

McCloughan said during a media briefing that seven teams in the top ten want to trade down. He knows this because seven of the nine teams have advised McCloughan that they’d be willing to trade down.

He thinks that two players could help such deals happen — USC quarterback Mark Sanchez and Alabama tackle Andre Smith.

The fact that so many teams want to move down underscores the out-of-whack nature of the rookie wage system at the top of the draft, especially in a year with a relatively flat talent pool that doesn’t feature a presumed can’t-miss prospect.

    • Backup QB has been an issue of mine for a long time but not just for Bryce and Dalton. We have never really been able to develop QBs or build an offense around strengths. Dalton isn't going to move the needle one way or another. The problem is in our FO and possibly coaching staff (current staff undetermined as of yet). I'm of the belief that you always try to get better. Dalton wasn't good other than one game against an abysmal defense. Churn the roster, including backup QB. If BY isn't the guy we've got to start over anyway. Who knows. We might actually find someone good. Other teams have done it before.
    • Lol. Worst case? I think you mean most likely result. I don't think people are going to be wasting much breath on Dalton or QB2 if Bryce flounders this year. It's going to be people calling for coaches, GM's and owners heads for the mess we got ourselves in with Bryce in the first place. Rightfully so.
    • I mean that's his sole reason for being here. He doesn't win football games. He's here to keep Bryce comfortable.
