We could easily get a second ,first round pick in this draft.
Denver doesn't want a pair of first rounders.. I'd wager we could get Denver's first rounder (22) for Buffalo's first rounder next year (2006).
Denver has already said they are low on cap room and want picks for 2007... and I'm sure that Denver would gamble the pick would be better than 22 for them next year.
22 would be an excellent spot for either Santonio Holmes or Chad Jackson to replace Moulds. One of those cats would still be on the board.
Naturally, we'd lose our first rounder next year and it would probably end up being higher than 22. But if my math is correct, our GM is post-80 and if your going young, this is the year to do it.. by 2007, whomever we took would have a year of NFL experience.
In fact, the more I think about it.. UNless you think Huff or Ngata is a franchise player you trade down from eight.. STockpile as many day one picks as you can get in 2006..
We currently have four first day picks right now. If we did this deal with Denver and traded down from 8, we could end up with six first day guys.
By 2007, we could have a really nice young core of players.
Here's my "dream" 2006 draft scenario
Trades (2)
* Give up our first next year for Denver's 22nd this year.
* Trade down from 8 with Atlanta (who would wet themselves to have Huff play with Hall) and get their first and second round picks.
Realistic Draft Day Picks
1-15 (from Atlanta) Tamba Hali, DE Penn State
1-22 (from Denver) Chad Jackson, WR (Holmes if Jackson goes first)
2-42 Gabe Watson, DT Michigan (and yes, he will be there at this spot)
2-47 (from Atlanta)- Daniel Bullocks or Pat Watkins, S
3-70 The best guard on the board (probably Spitz or Boothe)
3-73 Best LB available (replacement for Posey, who doesnt fit this D and also insurance for Spikes)
Of course, you HAVE to sign a tackle through FA , either Fabini or Runyan and Gandy is kept as depth.
To me, this has the makings of a strong football team, and BOTH those trades are realistic if Marv desired so.
