I don't see giving up Ogunleye for a 400 pound hippo at RT.
On the other hand if we're talkin QBs, thats somethin to talk about. Believe it or not if we had the 10th and 20th picks in the draft, we could probably take our pick between all four of the first round pick QBs and then some.
Here's what I'm thinkin prices come out to.
1. Eli Manning minus 2005 first round pick
2. Ben Roethlisberger
3. Phillip Rivers plus 20th pick in draft (Michael Jenkins, MAYBE Mike Clayton, etc).
4. JP Losman plus 10th pick in draft (Reggie Williams, Roy Williams, Mike Clayton, Shawn Andrews, Tommy Harris, Chris Gamble, etc).
I'm figuring we could trade the 10th and 20th picks for Big Ben straight up, we could trade those two plus a future first rounder for Eli Manning, we could select Rivers at #10 just to be absolutely sure we get him then use the 20th on a receiver or somethin, or we could get a true top ten talent at the 10 spot then wait for Losman to fall to us at #20.
Now the real question is, do any of these scenarios outweigh us HAVING Ogunleye, and using the 20th selection on either Rivers or Losman, on the chance that Rivers falls to us.
