If Adrian Peterson falls to #9????

If he falls to 9, there are several teams behind us that would be jumping at the gun to get him..


Green Bay at 16
Tennessee at 19
NYG at 20
maybe even Atlanta at 10


Lets hope for some desperate GMs on draft day if this situation happens to occur..
 
we have ricky williams and ronnie brown. We do not even need to waiste our time, even if we trade him.
 
Whats wrong with you guys!! Now i agree with most that if Peterson, who in imo will be a franchise back and set the tone for any offense, is there you do whatever it takes to trade down and get extra picks for this yr and next.. but if not, you certainly take him unless calvin johnson is there. Reason being is that how many sure things are there in a draft.. now i understand its all on the eyes of the beholder and who you think will be a sure thing.. but like i said i feel he will be a great back and next to CJ, a sure probowler.. so yes you draft him if all else fails and you cant trade out.
 
All those for trading down say I......IIIIIII, the I's have it. AP is a great college player, but as a fellw fan said, 2 in three years...no...Rb is not KJCarter or Enis come on now, he is just getting started. I will trade down but no futher than 15 after that the deal has to be real sweet (like a 1st, 2nd, and a 5th somthing like that). I look at it as where would we have finished at the end of the season if we won those last 2 games.
 
Assuming he enters the draft... I say no even though I don't think he'd fall to #9. Yes, almost always you want the BPA but do the Indianapolis Colts take a QB in the first round if by the time they pick... a QB is the BPA? No chance.
 
Most scouts have Adrian Peterson on their boards as a mid to bottom level pick, due to injury concerns.
 
If he falls to 9, he will be the BPA. I think, if he does fall that far, the most ideal situation would be to trade that pick to another team that needs a RB. The RB situation for teams picking 10-15 are fine, with the exception of Green Bay at 16. Maybe trade with them?

Green Bay would know that teams 10-15 would not need RBs, just like the team at 9 ( Us, obviously ). Green Bay would be mighty foolish to trade up so many spots considering it would cost them a 2nd round pick to do so.

Its like when Saban tried convincing people he was going to grab Braylon Edwards instead of Ronnie Brown, trying to get the Browns to trade with Miami. They called his bluff, it worked, and they got their man at their spot.

Do you think we should take him? If he is the BPA, it would be kind of hard to pass on him. Imagine Peterson and RB both lined up in the backfield....fake a handoff to one and go to the other...that would be hard to defend. Then when they try to stack the line of scrimmage against us, we throw it deep. DISCUSS!!!!!
