(Dream) Trade


SOJA

Recommended Posts

I had a dream last night (bear with me this is kind of an interesting scenario) in which Andrew Luck was in a Bengals jersey throwing a touchdown pass to AJ Green. It got me thinking. Would the Colts trade the number one to Cincy for picks with Andy Dalton. Let's look at the draft value numbers

http://drafttek.com/tradechart.html

Colts: #1 overall 30000

Bengals: #17 overall 950

#21 800

#53 370

Future #1 900 (approximately)

total points equals=3020

The points are about equal so the trade would be the #1 overall for Andy Dalton with the #17, 21, and 53 and a future first.

At first it sounds crazy for both sides, but let's step back from your internet rage to consider.

The Colts have A LOT of holes. If the Colts believe think Dalton flashed enough promise after one year, you could stack your team with three first round home-runs.

Second why would the Bengals do this? They sacrifice so much and already have a good thing going with the Red Rifle yadda yadda. Andrew Luck with AJ Green for the next ten years, you sacrifice three first rounders, one of which you robbed from the Raiders (and oh yea they are still going to have a first rounder in the 2013 from that same trade) for that combo.

discuss. and no, "no" or "shut the fug up Panthers8192" are not acceptable answers.

The Bengals aren't trading a promising second year player for a rookie. You don't trade 3 first for a QB when you already have a good young one

because you are basically using your first rounder on "the most sure-fire prospect of the last decade"

Cincinatti did very well and made the playoffs with Dalton last year. They feel they are set at QB. You don't mortgage the farm to pick up a draft choice who hasn't taken a snap in the NFL unless you are redskins and the future prospects look very bleak. Sure Luck could be amazing or he could be no better than Dalton going forward. In any case you don't trade a sure thing for a maybe unless the upside of the maybe is so much better than the sure thing that it is worth the risk. In this case it isn't even close IMO.

    • Nfl leaders don't look at the population of just the city itself.  Charlotte has three of the top fifty combined statistical areas within a 1 to 1.5 hour drive.  Charlotte, Greensboro/WS/High Point, and Greenville Spartanburg.  Those three statistical areas include nearly 7 million people.  Other than Raleigh, the only one in the top fifty within an hour and half of raleigh is Greensboro.  So only about 4-5 million people.  Charlotte has many more people to draw from.   Also, many of the surrounding communities for Raleigh are not native born.  If memory serves, many still refer to Cary as Containment area for relocated Yankees.  One of the reasons the Canes do so well is a significant portion of the population are people who moved from Northern Areas.  Would that population translate into support for a NFL team?  Hard to say, but I see a tremendous amount of Giants/Jets jerseys in the triangle when I forced to endure the crazy traffic on 40/85.
