    Move from #3 to #1

    Anyone know what it might take in a trade? What was the Manning/Rivers deal? Cant find it anywhere.

      Difference is San Diego had to trade Manning, he said he'd never play there.

          More than that...



          3000pts = 1st pick
          2200pts = 3rd pick

          we would need our
          2nd Round (35th pick) = 550pts
          3rd Round (67th pick) = 255pts

            Seems like a lot to give up for someone who could turn out to be Ryan Leaf 2.0, especially with all the other holes on our team.

              Actually The Giants traded Rivers 1st 4th overall, a third-round pick in the 2004 draft, (which was used to select Nate Keading), a first-round pick in the 2005 draft, (which was used to select Shawne Merriman) and a fifth rounder that was eventually traded to Tampa Bay.

                according to the trade value chart, the first overall is worth 3000 points, the 3rd overall is 2200; so we theoretically have to trade picks equalling 800 points. Our 2nd is worth 550 and our third is 255; so that would seem to get it done. an alternative would be our 2012 1st would also probably get it done. That's a lot to give up for a team with a lot of holes, but, if Luck declares I'm all for it. DL and OL holes can be filled via FA, a QB like Luck, not so much.

                  I would never trade the 1st (3rd overall), 2nd and 3rd to move up 2 lousy spots. No thanks.

                    Even if the man sitting there was Peyton Manning? I'd trade three1st rounders for Peyton when he came out. You just knew

                          To me, you can't look at it on moving from 3 to 1. Yeah, I wondered what it would take to get there. But put the player's name in place of the pick. If this guy turns out to be a solid forget-about-the-position (or more) QB for the next decade, why would you not trade a measley 2nd and 3rd rounder?! Sure he could be a bust, but everyone thinks this kid is pretty much can't-miss. Plus, you've seen what Sam Bradford did for the Rams this year. A solid, franchise QB can make a lot other areas look a whole lot better. And also, you can't deny this regimes ability to find players in later rounds or UFA (scouting) and putting them in position to maximize their talents (coaching).

                          This is a no brainer. If that's all it would take, then I'll be the first person to rip the Bills for not pulling the trigger and getting this thing done.
