The Three Moves For DRaft Day now

[patmoran2006]

Given the deal for Spikes yesterday and the pickup of Walker at DT.

1. Start praying now that this man falls to us at #12. No surprise here. After dealing Spikes, it's gotta be Patrick Willis.


2. Trade back into the late first round, giving up the 2nd and 3rd (like last year) and grabbing Wr Sidney Rice


3. Trade this year's #3 and next year's #2 to San Diego for Michael Turner.



That's about as sick as this team can get on day one of the draft, IMO. Rice and Turner gives this club two amazing weapons for Losman, and it's pretty obvious what Willis brings to the table. You lose a second rounder next year. IMO, Turner is worth it (I dont buy into that concede 2007 and get a good RB next year theory--Turner's gonna be the bomb)

I would love this. I would be very excited if we could pull it off. There are many other scenarios I would be happy with though!

Re: The Three Moves For DRaft Day now

Not bad, but I don't like the idea of using four draft picks on two players.

Three if ya count Turner.

Three if ya count Turner.

I was counting Turner. A 2nd and 3rd for Rice, and a 2nd and 3rd for Turner. That's four total picks for two guys.

I don't want Turner. He's a FA after the season. If we can get an extension in place ahead of time, fine ... but no contract = no trade

1. - Will happen
2. - not gonna. Marv hated to trade up last year. He's not going to do this year with so many holes.
3. - not even in their dreams. The days of using first day draft picks to trade for players are gone from this regime - and Ralph, period. No more Donahoe-ism! These picks are quality and CHEAP players critical to teams like Buffalo.

i dont think we'd trade for turner without a new deal in place.. We have extra money now as well.

Turner reminds me a lot of Priest Holmes

Re: The Three Moves For DRaft Day now

and it would have to be a reasonable deal for a career backup ... none of this garbage Matt Shaub or Rob Johnson got.

I like it. Not sure if Sidney Rice is the wideout I'd take in the late first round if we traded up, especially if Bowe or Meacham is still on the board. But generally speaking, that'd be a great first day of the draft.

Re: The Three Moves For DRaft Day now

Or instead of trading up for a WR, maybe TE Olsen?

Id take Bowe or meacham as well before Rice, but I think they'd both be gone by that 25th or so spot.

I like Willis at 12 but would rather see this,

Sign C. Brown

12 RB Lynch
43 CB McCauley
74 OLB Black
92 OLB Durant
112 RB M. Bush

and your starting OLB besides Ellison is who? Black or Durant?
