Thailog80 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 If Ngata,Davis,Huff,Williams are all gone. Childress wants a young QB to groom in his system. Minny picks at 17 I believe. Switch spots and get the second rounder from them also (They have an extra one now)...hell get both. If they want Cutler bad enough....we got 'em by the nads.

Lurker Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I'd swap the 8th pick for Minny's 17th and 48th pick, plus a pick next year. Reminds me of the way we landed Nate a few years ago: Vikings | Childress does not rule out trading up in the NFL Draft Tue, 14 Mar 2006 20:59:12 -0800 Kevin Seifert, of the Star Tribune, reports Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress did not rule out packaging several draft picks, they now own the 17th, 48th and 51st picks, to move up in the first round and select one of the draft's three premier quarterbacks: USC's Matt Leinart, Texas' Vince Young and Vanderbilt's Jay Cutler. "You look at all those eventualities and see if you feel like there is something," Childress said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 Wide Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Do you guys think Bunkley would last until the 17th pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailog80 Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 Do you guys think Bunkley would last until the 17th pick? 630230[/snapback] No but I'd love to steal LenDale White from underneath NE's nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 No but I'd love to steal LenDale White from underneath NE's nose. 630232[/snapback] I'd simply like to start stockpiling some talent. This team has too many holes to fill, and multiple first day picks would be a good way to start addressing this need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we have lots of holes to fill I agree. I was just presenting a scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvermike Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 No but I'd love to steal LenDale White from underneath NE's nose. 630232[/snapback] I think we should just use the entire draft to sabotage New England. Trade up or down, as necessary, to get the pick right before them in every round, and draft to *their* needs. That'll show'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill from NYC Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 If Ngata,Davis,Huff,Williams are all gone. Childress wants a young QB to groom in his system. Minny picks at 17 I believe. Switch spots and get the second rounder from them also (They have an extra one now)...hell get both. If they want Cutler bad enough....we got 'em by the nads. 630211[/snapback] I like your train of thought, but not at that price. The point of reference I like to use is the Clements trade. In 2001, the Bills moved from 14 to 21 (7 spots) and picked up a 2nd. The #8 is a much more coveted pick, especially this year if one of the qbs drops to 8, and moving down 11 spots should be worth more. If they threw in a 2nd in 06 and 07, I would probably pull the trigger, depending of course upon who is left at #8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Very attractive option and there are some fine players sure to be available. I could see us getting a very good offensive lineman at 17. Bill Polian was on NFL station raving about depth at tight end in this draft which will last well into the third and perhaps fourth round. I could see us getting an OT, gaurd and DT and walkind out with a good safety (Allen?) and tight end (Pope?) in that scenario. I like Ngata at 8 but if he isn't available, your proposal sounds great to me...E-mail it to Minnesotta!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeOiler Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 now that's the best idea i have heard yet -- and based on the draft value chart, it is a perfect trade: Our #8 = 1400, vikings #17 (950) + #48 (420) are of equal value. I would totally do that. We'd get 5 picks on the 1st day! How does this grab you: 17 - Bunckley, DT 42 - Latui, OG USC 48 - Joseph Addai, RB LSU 70 - Mcintosh, LB Miami 73 - Brodie Croyle, QB Alabama Or, if we sign Pickett: 17 - Winston Justice, OT USC 42 - Ko Simspon, S USCarolina 48 - Joseph Addai, RB LSU (or OLine if u like) 70 - Mcintosh, LB Miami 73 - Brodie Croyle, QB Alabama I am still taking a QB if we don't sign Mcown...if not on day 1, I want Reggie Mcneal or Drew Olson on Day 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Or how about trade down with the Broncos? Broncos | Team shopping two first-round picks Wed, 15 Mar 2006 08:23:37 -0800 Jeff Legwold, of the Rocky Mountain News, reports the Denver Broncos are shopping their two first-round picks in the 2006 NFL Draft in exchange for early picks in the 2007 NFL Draft. The team does not have much cap space left after paying out several up-front signing bonuses. Of course...that would mean giving up NEXT year's first and second rounders...but hey! Three first rounders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
