triplejcubed3 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 1 hour ago, Spartacus said: At this point I disagree. Rodgers is a once in a century talent and he is getting old. Give him all the talent he needs for the next couple years to go on a superbowl run. If we suck after he is gone at least we get to possibly pick high and get our QB of the future. This is the one time I think mortgaging the future is actually appropriate. I guess I don't know who they think they need to move up to select. I don't think you need to move up to get Fitzpatrick. If they are looking at Roquan Smith or Derwin James i can see having to move up. I'm not a huge fan of moving up for Ward. Maybe its because i like corners they get move back into the late first or early 2nd to select. Isaiah Oliver is one of those i think would be great.

mightybk Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 What about this scenario: Trade down - #14 for NE's #23 and #31 Then, Trade up - Our 2nd, 1st 4th, 1st 5th and 1st 7th to PHI for #32 That would give us 3 1st round picks to select EDGE, CB and WR/OT, all with 5th year options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt be opposed to this as long as we get 3 good players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has Derwin James snatched up at 7 Ward at 9 Edmunds at 11 Fitzpatrick at 12 And pick 14....Jaire Alexander - CB, Louisville hmmmm, not who I was hoping for I've been thinking Alexander at #14 for the past week or so. Not my preferred pick heading in, but I think it's likely enough that he will be one of the better options left when #14 is on the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be truly exceptional circumstances to trade future picks. If anything I would always be looking to trade for future picks as you gain a round (trade a 7th for a 6th this year then next year trade that for a 5th and eventually you get a free 1st). Just worried Gute is going to make a statement move for the sake of it. We need a receiver day 2 so can't afford to give up one of the second day picks. Whilst I'd agree we don't need 12 picks - we do need our three picks from the first couple of days and I'd be reluctant to give up 4th rounders. More than happy to give up all of our 6th and 7th rounders but that wont get you far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be too worried about him going overboard or anything. TT and Gute have been calling the shots together for years and they are still calling the shots together.

Uffdaswede Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 It seems like we've gone from being comfortable with Davenport-Landry-Jackson to fretting that we may be able to snag James-Edmunds-Ward-Fitzpatrick with a trade up, and that kind of fretting leads to disappointment that we manufacture out of thin air. We're at 14, not 4. I want Gutey to hit one down the middle with a wedge to the green---I can't believe his strategy would involve giving up a third. The opinions are all over the place regarding whether a trade up should be for James, or Edmunds, or Ward, or Fitzpatrick so how much better could they be than the ceiling of a Davenport? I'm starting to root for a trade down followed by a trade up. Two bites at the second tier would be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander is 5102, tested extremely well, and has plus ball skills. I certainly wouldn't rule him out based on size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
