With the 10th Pick (Insert Team Name Here) Selects...

You’re being a jerk. I didn’t write about the Packers being inclined to to this, I wrote about the Packers and other teams in the late 1st having an avenue into the top 10.

And where did you get the impression that Washington was asking for two 1st round pick?

Don’t epic fail my post. You fail, in your attempt to fail.

that phrase is getting. There was hardly anything epic about my post anyways, so nice try.

I think its a fair point looking at the Packer’s possibility in moving up or down but…

I have to agree with Stroh here. This proposition, for GB at least, is almost absurd. The cost would be exorbitant. For Matthews we moved from low 2nd to High 1st, not quite 2o spots if I remember correctly. In this we would be jumping 22 spots in teh first round for a Top 10 pick. And who is there?

It would need to be someone who: we loved, could make an immediate impact, Teddy T would be willing to pay Top 10 money to with possible Cap space issues this year, and all in a potentially shortened offseason with lots of talent coming back. Most of the to players projected are D LInemen, Q backs and maybe an OT.

I don’t like the top OT, and I don’t think Thompson would either. We probably won’t take a QB unless we move Flynn and that is just speculation with the CBA hanging at this point and changes the whole game, and though we could use D Line help with Jenkins leaving, there is nobody close to someone like Suh who would be about the only thing you would give up that much for to get to #10. That is a huge leap for something that will not get you immediate results more likely than not, and is simply way to drastic an action for Thompson considering what will probably be there.

THe only player I would make that move for (even though I’m sure Thompson wouldn’t) would be Von Miller and he won’t be there.

Our hands are basically tied behind our back with the last pick in almost every round. At best, we can move up just a couple spots in the 1st Round. Flynn and Barnett is the key for giving us the opportunity to trade up. It really depends upon what Washington values Flynn and Barnett as. I plugged them into the calculator though valuing Flynn as a Mid 2nd and Barnett as a Mid 3rd along with our 1st Round Pick. That gives us 1,280 points. The 10th Overall Pick is worth 1,300 points, so it’s fairly close. Obviously, not everyone is going to value Barnett that high though. So we’ll likely have to throw another pick in there. All in all though, it’s doubtful we’ll ever trade up that high in the draft. Washington wanting to trade down has little to do with us. Especially with the CBA not being signed yet.

I kind of hope TT moves up into the mid 20s. If he doesn’t, I have a feeling that the top players IMO (Houston, Pouncey, Carimi, etc) will all be gone. In that case, I’d actually like to see TT trade back in the draft. Maybe pick up some draft picks for next year.

IF, a top 15 player falls into the 20’s… Kinda like Thompson did for Matthews. Say an OT he has rated as the 17th best on his board falls to #25… By all means go get him!! Thats really what it would take for THompson to do it… If that happens and he sees the value of it, go for it.

Beyond that I would try to keep as many picks as I can tho…

He has the benefit of playing IN a 3-4 D. So it’s not like he’d be a scheme mismatch.

Send that 3rd rounder their way!

It just depends on the players available.. Thompson IMO, won’t do it just to get the 25th rated player. He would want to get a player he has rated in the teens and at a position of need. Otherwise I don’t see Thompson trading up! Personally, I would do it to get Houston, Castonzo or Pouncey! Probably not anyone else that has a chance to be there at 25.
