Vikings #3 pick: If Robert Griffin III is available, we'll pass or tradedown

[Skooby]

They're sticking with Ponder, so RGIII might be had there:

Using the draft chart, it would cost us our 1st & 2nd this season / 1st next season to move up to the 3rd spot.

unless Nix finds pass rushers in FA my guess is he's going to use the draft to fix the pass rush

[Bangarang]

Another off season of people talking about trading up when we have a GM and a future GM that hate trading away draft picks. It's not going to happen.

[DrGraves]

that means the redskins will scoop him up... he won't fall to 10

[DraftBoy]

Price would be too high.

[trapezeus]

where do the redskins get all their picks to keep sacrificing them every year? how come they haven't had a seattle/oakland/browns type draft where all their picks are gone. i feel like they constantly trade to get up. Where do the picks come from?

the redskins actually traded down in the 2nd rd and 3rd rd like 4 times..

The Vikings will take Blackmon or Claiborne, depending on who St. Louis passes on. Maybe Kalil, but I doubt they trade out of their spot.

[Mr. Pink]

Cleveland will either take Richardson or RGIII at 4.

Unsure of what's going on with Peyton Hillis or if they'll even want him back.

Hillis is as good as gone from the Browns.

[Ed]

I think RGIII ends up going #2 overall to whoever is willing to give St. Louis the best deal.

[Mr. Pink]

Hillis is as good as gone from the Browns.


Have that feeling myself.

Been thinking that since around week 3.

[imbondz]

if we were smart, we would humble ourselves and study and memorize what the Patriots have been doing the past 10 years during the draft. even when they are last, they seem to have like 3 picks in the 1st round.

[Skooby]

I did the math to figure out where we stand to do this.

Using the draft chart, it would cost us our 1st & 2nd this season / 1st next season to move up to the (2190 Bills / 2200 Vikings) 3rd spot.

ya but if vikes want to move down it could cost less...

the problem is i wouldn't do that deal

we need players we need as many skilled players as we can get....

[YardRat]

Too much to give up.

[better days]

Too much to give up.

Well, if the Bills KNEW RGIII would become a Probowl/Franchise QB, I don't think 2 #1's & a #2 would be too much to give up.

The problem is, he is just as likely to be a bust as a Probowl QB. There's the rub.

We'd save money in the long run by not having to pay a #1 draft pick next year & the second. His cost should be reasonable because of the rookie cap.

[TigerJ]

Trading up into the top three is not only expensive. Buffalo could have several other QB needy teams competing with us that would draft ahead of us barring a trade. Since they have a higher first round pick, trading is essentially less costly for them. I don't think that's a bidding war I want to get into.

He told me yesertday that Viking really really need WR blackmon But my brother in law said that Rams was 2# and Rams really want WR Blackmon too also he said that if Rams get WR Blaxkmon and Viking will get OT

What were the knocks on Revis when he went all the way near the bottom of the 1st?

Revis actually was picked at 14, 2 spots behind Marshawn. He was the guy I wanted the Bills to take, right from the start.
