Could Minnesota trade up to #1??

[hepcat]

This is one of the teams I could see trading into the #1 spot. There are a LOT of QB hungry teams early in the draft like the Bengals, Bills, Cardinals, 49ers, Titans, and Redskins, all potentially waiting to snap up a QB early in the draft. I'd put the Cardinals and 49ers at the top of that list. Minnesota is sitting at #12 and in all likelihood the best two QB's in the draft, Cam Newton and Blaine Gabbert, will be gone. Not sure if they'd consider a trade to #1, but if they were sold on one of the QB prospects, I could see them doing it. No team is more desperate for a QB this offseason than the Vikings.

But hell, no football next year is looking more and more likely, so there could be no trades at all.

We dont need to trade down. We need a Impact player no matter who we choose.

I'd put the Panthers.

I don't see them spending so much to move up for Cam, since he's just a bigger, inexperienced version of Jackson.

I don't see anyone moving up to #1 for Gabbert.

I can see them making a move for Palmer. They have gone after big names more than once.

To piggyback on these thoughts, Minnesota has a lot of needs. Moving up to trade with us would take more than their entire draft. They don't have a third rounder either.

I don't see Palmer because I don't see Minnesota having anything Cincy needs or wants. I see Palmer possibly coming to Carolina as part of a deal to get the first pick, but not without a CBA.

My guess: Minnesota will trade for or sign Donovan McNabb.

Really? I'd have to look no further than Charlotte....

Forgot about McNabb. I could see them going after him over Palmer. And you're right. Minnesota is getting old in a lot of spots and need to rebuild. Their win now window closed last season.

At least the Panthers have Clausen, or would rather have Tavaris Jackson and Joe Webb...?

Apples/Oranges I guess

Both had better QB ratings than Clawsome.
