What if we traded our 1st for....


Recommended Posts

And next year you'll ask "what if we trade the pick we got from last year for next year's..." Some people don't have the balls to handle having a first round pick without wanting to trade out of it, and I'm glad our GM isn't one of them.

Every one is cool with trading down and getting a lower first round and a third. Take their second and third this year if you want an additional pick along with 2014 #1 pick.

I am not normally for trading our 1st away but this draft IMO is weak.

I don't think we will because we have so few picks this year anyhow. That said, I wouldn't be pissed if we did.

Since i'm still not allowed to post and this is something that needs posting, the Vikings are looking to trade up for Tavon. They have a #23 and #25. I want this to happen more than anything. We could take Xavier Rhodes and not reach for a safety. Grab BPA DT/WR in 2nd. i hope to god this happens.

Not an option I'd consider unless we are getting a better deal than that. The least I'd want is a 2nd and a 3rd in 2013, and perhaps a mid round pick in 2014. But I'd rather us either draft a guy with our first this year, or trade down and have a late first round pick. I agree with Rodeo, you've got to have the balls to make a pick in the first, and trading out shouldn't be under consideration unless we're landing a proven pro bowl type player in exchange (though our cap would probably prevent us trading it for a player).

You wouldn't want the #23 and #25 pick? I say if they throw in their third this year then yeah def.

This would be a dream scenario if this actually happened.

We do, that's why i'm hoping this happens. We could really help shore up our secondary or just holes on defense if this happens.

I think we'd be better served by taking the BPA with our 1st, 2nd, 3rd and so forth. I fail to see the benefit of trading away the 14th pick for an additional 2nd.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
