[Panthro]

We lose the team option when we trade out of the first but Getts has this

But how are his hands?!?!

Everyone likes to throw out the "trade down" scenario every season without regards to the fact that someone actually needs to want to trade up.  And in most years, it is nothing but a pipe dream.  However, with Denver being right behind us and definitely needing/looking to draft a QB, we are in a prime position for a trade back.  Someone in the early second round will want to move ahead to get a QB if one is still there.

I actually like this scenario this draft for us.

Also, that Gettleman has said he'd rather have "a buck instead of two dimes" or something. He has repeatedly said that he doesn't believe in trading down. Now I do believe he would trade down if there was a ridiculous offer, but those are really rare. A QB available in front of Denver could elicit that kind of offer, but I think a team could probably give up less and move up to the Cards or Chiefs spot instead of trying to get Gettleman to budge.

In lieu of trading down, perhaps he could be enticed to trade the pick away if he got a future first in return which would almost certainly be higher than 30 next season.

Sadly, unless Marty Hurney got a GM job somewhere else, that's not an easy thing to get.

If he's worth picking near the top of the 2nd round, he's just as worth picking with the 2nd-to-last pick of the 1st round.

Maybe we should trade that first rounder away and grab an early 2nd and an additional pick down the road?

Our best bet with Sterling is a substantial 2nd round trade-up.  I'd absolutely love the kid on the team but the way the draft may roll out, we may not get him.

The problem is that an unless it's an out of the park offer it's probably not worth it to lose the 5th year option that comes with 1st round picks and move back. It would have to be an early 2nd and an early 3rd or 4th for me to even consider moving down 3-5 spots and I doubt anyone is willing to give that up unless a team is desperate to get ahead of Denver for a QB.

I can think of several WRs I'd rather have who might be around in the second. A WR who is quick but not fast or physical with a small catch radius is super easy to acquire. The draft will be full of them. You want someone special in the first or second, but in G-man I trust. Maybe he just wanted a better look in case he fell.

If you don't think he's physical, you may want to actually watch him play at some point.  He's not Smitty fast, but 4.48 is some decent speed.

I've seen the usual youtube highlights but that doesn't reveal a lot. He doesn't stand out to me, but if you like him more power to you. Looks like the kind of guy who is going to get jammed, and covered like a blanket without separation, and his catch radius is pretty small. Not good. He'll get open the way Philly Brown likes to get open, using agility not pure speed. He's a change of direction guy, all about quickness. You can get that later in the draft. Not really a big deal. Just my opinion.

Great idea.

Problem is finding a trading partner who can come to a fair and reasonable agreement.
