Big John Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 NFLN just said if the Colts lose next week, they still have the #1 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I believe that as long as the Colts lose next week to the Jags that they end up with 1.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecondString Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Trade the #1 pick??? No matter who ends up with it?? Or draft & then trade? Three teams' management trying to figure out how to make sure they lose this coming week?? Ton of value there. Gotta love it. Pull up a chair and watch the fun.

I could see the Colts easily beating the Jags. The Rams will probably lose out. I have little faith in MN but WAS and CHI could go either way though I expect they'll fold and lose out. Indy could drop to the 3rd pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) I could see the Colts easily beating the Jags.Me too. JAX = Drew, basically. Key on him and they're history. I'm amazed they aren't in the running for the #1 pick. Don't be so sure the Rams wouldn't take him if they can. Bradford is the injury prone type and (from what I hear) taking steps backward, far from a lock as QB of the future. Ditto Vikes for that matter. Ponder has potential but is a far cry from Luck. Basically you just don't pass on a guy like this. If nothing else they get a boatload from someone willing to trade up which of course would never be the Colts. IMO it'd be the Skins. Just the kind of thing Snyder would do. Edited December 23, 2011 by BeeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Me too. JAX = Drew, basically. Key on him and they're history. So MJD is JAX's only real weapon? That's genius man. I bet nobody has thought of that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Especially interesting as one contender has a legend at QB already and the other two supposedly have their QB of the future. Viking brass is potentially dumb enough to get the #1 pick and not take Luck because of Ponder which is completey insane. I'll be the first guy to admit that I like Ponder, and I like what I've seen from him this year, and I think if they get him a WR, he has the potential to be our QB of the future. That being said, I sell him for a bag of chips and a Diet Coke if we could draft Andrew Luck. Edited December 23, 2011 by Hugh 0ne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also a believer that Ponder has potential but not more than Luck... Kfan was talking this morning thay Washington was high on Ponder last year in the draft... Trade for a pick and let them have Ponder IF we have the chance to have Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good in theory but they might not get much for Ponder. Still, I'd take my chances if I were them.

That being said, I sell him for a bag of chips and a Diet Coke if we could draft Andrew Luck. Oh, I agree completely. It's even more interesting because of the trade element due to the three contenders having viable QBs already. I don't doubt the Vikes would pick up Luck if the "lucked in" (sorry) but that adds the element of where does Ponder go, if anywhere? Same applies with Bradford and we have already done to death the Manning possibilities. It's kinda ironic that with this supposedly can't miss prospect coming out this year, none of the teams most desperately in need are in the hunt for him and that's half to two thirds of the league. That sets up even more intriguing pick trade scenarios. I think I'm looking forward to this coming draft more than I have for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 they have to tank next week. lol...could be two teams tanking next week: the Colts to try to secure Luck, and the Jags to keep him from being in their division for the next 10 years.

And thanks for not discussing the actual topic. So pointing out that you say some stupid chit is somehow marginalizing myself? To who? Every team that has played JAX has keyed on stopping MJD, yet he is the 4th highest RB in both non-ppr and ppr rankings. On topic, There have been very little trades of top picks before the new CBA because the high cost, but it'll be interesting to see what happens in this "new world". I'd have to think that Indy, St. Louis, and Minnesota would all try to shop that pick with their current situations. I mean, Miami's owner has stated that he wants a franchise QB and with Barkley staying at USC maybe they would trade the kitchen sink after seeing the QBs they've started in recent years.

Of course, the Jags might not be very smart. They seem intent on grinding their only good offensive player into dust in games that are lost in a season that is long been lost... Though (to play Devil's Advocate) I suppose you could argue the Jags may actually want to see Indy get the #1 pick if they believe it will force Indy to essentially choose between Manning and Luck which may cause a major rift in that organization As far as the Vikings...if they were to somehow land the #1 overall pick, they have to take BPA (or trade the pick) as they have so many holes it is not even funny.
