taking need out of the equation - because I have none...

[Duchess Jack]

I was just offered the 1.6 and 2.1 for the 1.5 in our 2007 rookie draft

 

Would you take it? I figure that any pick. five and up, is a money pick because - at worst - you can land one the tier 1 QBs

 

Or is it safer to snag one of the QBs and let him develope?

[Zooty]

I would take it for the reason you stated.

 

I would take a WR over one of the QBs though

[Big Country]

I take it. Assuming non-IDP, you have Jamarcus and Brady, Calvin Johnson, AP and Lynch towards the top 5, as well as the GB RB possibly in the mix (name escapes me offhand and too lazy to look it up), that gives you 6 solid choices, which you still get one of, plus you add the 2.1 pick which could very well be a WR in a decent situation or an RB that is a backup nopw but may get a shot, or one of the 2nd tier QBs who may pan out ot be just as good as Quinn or Russel

[Bronco Billy]

GB RB = Brandon Jackson

 

I'd do that trade. Right now, the top 3 consensus seems to be AD, CJ, & Lynch. After that, the next 6 guys are interchangable and can fall legitimately in any order: Meachem, Jackson, Bowe, Russell, Quinn, & Rice, with a few others thrown in that probably shouldn't be in the 4-9 tier like Bush & Jarrett.

 

1.04 & 1.05 in a lot of drafts are some combination of Meachem, Russell, & Jackson. It would be hard to argue taking whichever of those 3 that falls to you at 1.06 and then getting a bonus of the 2.01, who will be a decent player also.

 

That's a good trade for you.

Alright....

 

so far this offseason (no auction yet)

 

I traded Javon Walker for McGahee

 

I traded Mo Drew for the Edge, Winslow, Lelie and Si Moss

 

I traded Lelie for the FA Rights to Carr and Si Moss for a 2nd.

 

I traded LJ for the Henry and Moroney

 

I traded Henry and the Edge for R Moss and the 1.2

 

During my draft, between moving up and down - and dealing Gado, Bryant Johnson and V Jackson... I landed an extra 2 firsts and an extra second for 2008 (so... 3x1st, 2x2nd and 3rd-5th)

 

Having said all of that.... this was my draft....

 

1.2 Peterson, A

1.5 Jackson, B

3.3 B Leonard

5.4 A Bradshaw

6.4 D Anderson

 

...and this is my team prior to cuts (need to get down to 19 roster spots and 5 taxi)

Gradkowski, Bruce TBB QB

Rivers, Philip SDC QB

 

Anderson, Deon DAL RB ®

Bradshaw, Ahmad NYG RB ®

Brown, Chris TEN RB

Jackson, Brandon GBP RB ®

Wow.

 

That's one hell of a team. Youth & depth at every position, and while your #1 guy at any spot may not be a top 5 player, your strength in the #2 & #3 guys will negate that disadvantage & then some. Plus the added bonus of getting so many trades in to build the team.

 

That, my friend, is some top notch work.

Thanks brother. I still like the LJ trade, but regretted the MoJo trade as soon as I clicked 'accept'.

 

Hopefully it all works out in the end.
