ANOTHER idea about a possible draft day trade

[JawnyBlaze]

With Dallas needing a CB so desperately, and Peterson being one of the 2 best players in this draft, what about the possibility of trading down to #9 with Dallas? We know Jerry Jones isn't afraid to make a big splash. He could be afraid Amukamara doesn't last til 9 and figures if he's gonna trade up might as well go balls out and get a guy of Peterson's potential.

With that said, I think there's a better chance he only trades up to 5 or 6 to grab Amukamara (or Peterson if he's somehow still there), but I don't think you can rule Dallas out as one of the top trade contenders for us.

What would it take? Dropping all the way to #9, and considering JJ's constant overly high expectations of his team, I don't think it'd be ridiculous to think we could probably get #9, next year's first and this year's second in the trade. Maybe wishful thinking, might just get this year's 1,2,3 from them. Either way, I think it'd be a pretty decent trade...and probably one of the two most likely trade partners for us (the other being Arizona in my opinion).

I really don't think we'll trade down. It wouldn't surprise me to see Dallas or another team try to move up, but I doubt any of them would be interested in going all the way to #1; they'd probably just trade with Buffalo or Arizona or something.

[JawnyBlaze]

I agree, I think there's a bigger chance (if he indeed wants to trade up) that he'll trade with someone between us and them. But he could get afraid Denver will take Peterson. That's looking less likely now that Bailey resigned, but still...their other CB might be in legal trouble and Bailey is still due to start showing his age at SOME point. Jerry Jones might wanna leapfrog Denver to ensure getting Peterson.

I'm starting to think a desperate GM (Bills) will want to trade up to snag Newton and Hurney will make the deal, wisely.

If we can trade down into anywhere in the top 5 I'd be ecstatic. In the top 5 we're guaranteed a player I wouldn't be upset about us drafting: Green, Peterson, Dareus, Newton, Bowers. Down at #9 like my hypothetical scenario we're reaching territory where we won't necessarily get a #1 choice at a position but there might be some decent options available: Amukamara, Dareus/Fairley maybe, Quinn, Cam Jordan, Julio Jones. Plus that possible extra first round pick next year to package and move up for Luck.

[SuperLego5]

Picking up an extra first next year is pretty essential in any trade we make (if we make one) especially if next years draft is really strong. Obviously all hypothetical but would be nice to have loads of picks next year to give us the ability to move up if we fell in love with a player.

When in recent history has a team ever taken a corner with the first pick yet alone traded up 9 spots to do so. I can't remember it ever happening. Even Deion Sanders was picked fifth in the draft by Atlanta.

[Delhommey]

If any owner trades up 9 spots to take a corner with the #1 pick they should be publically flogged then executed.

If any owner trades up 9 spots to take a corner with the #1 pick they should be publically flogged then executed.

Why would anyone have that much mercy on such a stupid owner?
