For those upset we might not draft offense with #1...

[Highlandfire]

Trade down it the only real option, with Bowers being the #2 option.

[Cavscout]

Trade down and get J Jones, WR and another couple of picks

You say trade down as if its an easy thing to do, even with Luck declaring we would have struggled to get true value for the number 1. Without him nobody wants the number 1 pick and even if they did they would know we don't want it so we wouldn't get adequate compensation.

Answer these questions for me:

1) Which team is going to trade with us?

2) Why would said team want to trade with us instead of staying where they are at where they can still get good value?

3) What would said team give up to trade with us? (Remember, if a CBA isn't in place, then you can't trade players)

I'm seeing a draft day thread. Convince the Bengals at #4 that we are taking Green. Trade down to #4 and take their second (#35) this year and another pick next year.

I'm bad at figuring what trades are worth

That sounds about right but now way do the Bengals, an old team, trade that much for a WR in a poor draft class. THere is no value in this draft.

Need more funny pics in this thread!

probably.

The good think about Luck not declaring is that it gives Hurney an opportunity to wheel and deal and improve our situation. Hope he comes through.

I thought the same thing but, after reading a few articiles that might not be the case. Some (football insiders) think that with the rookie salary cap the #1 pick will be worth more. And someone out there will want to gaurantee they get their man.

Green.

Trade down.

Bowers.

Only options.

Fairley just isn't worth it.

[Cavscout]

Trade Down or take Peterson are the best options, IMO

I wouldn't be totally opposed to Peterson, but the Free Agent class of CB's is too strong to use the pick on him.

Pickup a solid FA corner to go opposite of Gamble then draft Peterson to safety (if willing).

The guy is close to 6'2 220 and runs around a 4.3. Not sure what kind of 4-3 Rivera would run but Peterson would be a Killer cover 2 Safety.

The WR class isn't weak either. I believe Rice and Vincent Jackson (played at SD with Rivera)

Great....moving players all over the defense again.

You don't use the number one pick on an experiment. You don't use it on a player who you wanna convert to another position.

And you really think Rice and Jackson are gonna end up in Free Agency?

Doubt it. Behind a couple big names that are 99% to be resigned to their own teams, the WR class is weak.
