1. WR Larry Fitzgerald
We trade our 1st, 4th, 6th, and 7th to the cardinals, who have their hearts set on Manning and need some rebuilding picks. A 4 for 1 trade could also take a lot of heat off the card's front office, who are constantly lambasted for not engineering their draft.
Fitzgerald has all-pro written all over him, and he's the kind of solid character kid that Donahoe likes. We absolutely MUST draft an impact WR with speed. You can't have one speed receiver, and Eric isn't getting any younger. Eventually, Eric will likely devolve into a stud slot receiver as he begins to lose a step. I don't believe he has yet...I'm talking 2-3 years down the road.
2. TE Ben Watson
We need a big, speedy TE with good hands who can take pressure off our WRs and open up the middle of the field. Campbell is good, but he'll never be a probowler, and isn't reliable either in blocking or receiving.
Watson is 6-3, 253 and runs a fuggin 4.45. And unlike Winslow, he can actually block.
3. QB Phil Rivers. We need another QB who brings other dimensions to the offense. TSN says of Rivers: Rivers has terrific size, good touch and timing. He has adequate accuracy in the short-to-intermediate zones and shows good touch on the deep ball. He does a nice job of throwing on the run and making things happen after the play has broken down. Rivers is a decent athlete with good running skills despite a so-so time in the 40-yard dash. He is a tremendous leader and competitor, and h has everything you look for in terms of intangibles. He is terrific under pressure.
Some will argue that Cody Pickett, if available, is a better pick because he has better mechanics and deep ball. But not many scouts like his intangibles, and many are comparing Rivers to a more mobile Ramsey; Rivers has ancanny knack for escaping pressure.

5. RB michael turner (travis,willis,turner, morris: yum)
TSN says: Is an impressive runner with good bulk, strength and speed. He is one of the faster running backs in this class. Has the speed to turn the corner, and shows a second gear in the open field. Shows adequate vision and patience as a runner. Lowers shoulder before contact. Is tough and scrappy, and is just as effective running inside as outside. Shows good body control and the ability to cutback without losing much momentum. Shows burst to and through the hole. Has the tools to develop into a weapon in the passing game with experience.
His Div 1-a competition and lack of experience as a receiver and blocker could make him available here.

7. To Cleveland (Mark Cambell Trade)
Free agency:
Bring in one WR prospect. We probably won't win the Darrel Jackson or TO hunt, and if we do pick a WR in the first round we won't be bringing in any big name WRs in FA.
But there is one name that would be a REALLY nice addition: Justin McCareins. The kid makes plays and tough catches. We need to prevent the situation we found ourselves in here, and make sure we have a WR corp that can play at this level. We all had high hopes for Coleman, but where has he been?
Sign Adam Timmerman to play right guard.
Sign Matt Stinchcomb to play left guard.
(We love ya Ruben, but take a paycut to stay a Bill in a depth role, or...)
Assuming the Jets release Josh Evans, SIGN HIM SIGN HIM SIGN HIM!
Sign Damian Woody if the pats don't franchise him or lure him back. If they do, sign Fontenot of the Saints.
Sign Erik Hicks, DE
This seems like a lotta FA activity, but we're due to have at least 13 million in cap space, before any cuts/restructures. This seems doable to me. But I have these rose-colored glasses on, and I might need some more data.
