Fishing for Andrew Luck

[Stewie]

Play GM for a moment.

You are calling the shots in this years draft. A once in a lifetime opportunity presents itself as your turn begins. Every other team in the league offers you next years first round pick (plus acceptable accommodations) for number 3.

Who will "earn" next years number 1 overall?

You have 9 minutes from now. No cheating. Google is your friend if you need him.

PS. I am not saying in any way this is a good idea. Much more interested in who you think is going to suck next year.

Re: Fishing for Andrew Luck

I would probably take Cincinatti's picks. They're looking like they are only going to get worse next year.

Id take Cleveland's

Re: Fishing for Andrew Luck

Cincy is losing Palmer and won't have a QB. They KNOW they're gonna suck this season. Why would they trade up this draft knowing they could very well end up with #1 next year and draft Luck?

This exercise is hypothetical.

Re: Fishing for Andrew Luck

Like it or not, Buffalo is a candidate for the top pick in next year's draft.

But yeah, I'd have to say Cinci is the best candidate; with aging guys, a QB mess, a coach who probably won't survive the season.

Re: Fishing for Andrew Luck

I don't know if it's ever happened before but I'm going to go ahead and say it's the Panthers again. They were/are just that bad.

The Dolphins.

Re: Fishing for Andrew Luck

Buffalo.

Seriously, 4-12, much-abbreviated (if any) free agency, and a draft team of proven failures in Modrak & Co. It's a recipe for continued meltdown.

Re: Fishing for Andrew Luck

Problem with this exercise is we can probably guarantee any team, having their own 2011 1st round pick + Buffalo's #3 overall will not finish worst in the NFL.

Re: Fishing for Andrew Luck

Cincy or the Panthers... So obviously Cincy since the Panthers won't be trading their pick.

[X-Era]

Re: Fishing for Andrew Luck

NE. They will trade for the first pick, trade it back to us and take the next Meriweather later in the draft.

In all seriousness probably Cinnci.

As much as I would hate this this year, we probably get a 2nd rounder with next years 1st and maybe even another pick.

That could be two high 1st rounders next year, possibly #1 overall next year and adding another 2nd rounder this year.

Re: Fishing for Andrew Luck

I am not saying Andrew Luck won't be good, but two years ago teams were ready to take Jake Locker with their first round pick until he went back to school.
