Like the thought of trading down...

With the offseason starting full force Im looking into trading down out of the #2 spot. I feel this will only be possible if Mr. Cluasen and Mr. Bradford have a amazing combine and boost there stock. Then with all that happening the Rams still pass on them and take Mr. Suh. So yes this is very hypothetical.We have three teams having new front offices, with new front offices usually mean new QB. Seahawks, Browns, and Bills I feel would be teams thinking about making the jump for the face of their franchise.

Seahawks have two first round picks, so we could just trade those picks straight across. The value of the picks almost work equally a 100 pt difference on the scale the owners use. There are many different pick combinations or player combinations you could do to make the trade. Although the Seahawks probably wouldnt be looking to trade up since they pick 7 and only the redskins are ahead of them that would be looking for a QB, but they might be afraid of the Bills or Browns jumping up to pick a QB too. Players im interested in CB Marcus Trufant, CB Ken Lucas, LG Rob Sims, DT Colin Cole.

Browns have 11 draft picks, again there are multiple ways to with picks and players to make the trade fair. The Browns have many late draft picks built perfectly for trading up if they feel one of these QBs are their guy. Players Im interested in WR Josh Cribbs, WR Mohamed Massaquoi, WR Mike Furrey, DT Shaun Rogers, any of the Guards.

Bills would be the least likely to trade up but they might be feeling crazy with ?? at the QB. They only have eight picks this year in the draft, an extra sixth round, but they could use some picks for next year. Just depends on how bad they want a QB to build their team right. Players im interested in CB Leodis McKelvin, S Donte Whitner, DE Schobel, G Andy Levitre

There are many more on those rosters that would make ours better i was just naming a few that i could think of off top of my head. More importantly i would be very jacked and impressed if we could land 2-5 extra picks this year or next year. Movin down would still leave us in position to get Berry or Haden or McCoy depends on how it works out in the wash but those are still the picks we could have at 2 but alot cheaper. Not to mention all the later round picks we could use to pick up some guys. If we did trade down I then would not be opposed to a WR later in draft. After watching the NCAA Championship game im kind of thinking Shipley would look good the slot with pettigrew and megatron.
