John Clayton , Phins get offers 9ers don,t also Saban wants more #2 picks

[Jimmy James]

I can feel the karma coming...I just know we're getting Nugent, Chris Henry, and a center. :)

 

[REAL DEAL]

Ok so the Vikings call , whats the least you would take for our 1st round pick? I say both their # 1s and a # 2 this year, or both their #1s and their #1 next year.

 

[Dolfan1000]

Both their #1s and a 2nd would be just fine :)

 

[AlanSaysYo]

Both Minny's #1's and their #2 would be freaking amazing, so I doubt it would happen. But I'd be all over it. We'd have gone from one pick in the first two rounds to four picks.

What's the least I'd take? It's theirs for those two first rounders this year. That's plenty for me.

 

[Dolfan1000]

And then Saban would officially = THE GREATEST

 

[Nublar7]

Both their #1s and a 2nd would be just fine :)

It would more likely be their two 1st round picks and a 3rd or 4th rounder.

 

[REAL DEAL]

So no one would take their number 7 and their number 2 this year and their #2 and #3 next year? I just don,t know that the Vikings would let their whole 1st day draft go .

Ok i say we try and trade with a team who has 2 first rounders( Minny and Was) and with the deeper first round pick trade it for two seconds

Kinda hard to answer that if you don't have your entire draft board mapped out. Saban is building his team here, so he'd probably rather have more new players this year. But at the same time, it depends on what he sees in the second round this year. If he doesn't see anything he wants (which I don't think is the case), he'd take next year's picks. But since he seems to have a few guys on his list in that range, he'd probably rather have his picks this year, IMO.

 

[REAL DEAL]

Well thought out AlanSaysYo, you could be right . Its hard to see where Nick is going, but its sure looks like he has a plan. It would be nice to have a little something extra for next year.

Saban wants a boatload of second-round picks, huh? He may be able to get what he wants by making three trades:

Step 1 - Trade down with the Vikings: #2 for #7 and #18
Step 2 - Trade down with the Eagles: #7 for #31, #35, #63, and #94
Step 3 - Trade down with the Raiders: #18 and #70 for #26 and #38

The Vikings want Edwards. Are they willing to give up #7 and #18 to get him?

The Eagles have 13 picks. They're almost surely going to try to trade up to get a top WR in the first-round (How far do they plan on trading up, and how far are they willing to trade up? I don't know). Mike Williams and Troy Williamson will most likely be available at #7. They'd be great additions, and would do well opposite TO. Hell, the Eagles might be able to land Caddy Williams or Cedric Benson at that slot. Imagine what either one of them would do for the Eagles.

The Raiders have already shown that they're willing to trade up. They're up to something. I think they want Matt Jones or Jason Campbell. They'll almost surely get either one at #18.

First day picks after making the above three trades:

#26 (1st)
#31 (1st)
#35 (2nd)
#38 (2nd)
#46 (2nd)
#63 (2nd)
#94 (3rd)

And we could possibly even trade down into the second-round with #26 and #31 (And pick up a couple more third-round picks along the way, too, depending on how far we wanted to drop down from those picks)...

If we're able to pull off the anticipated trade with the Vikings (#2 for #7 and #18), we will have plenty of options...
