I like the fire. Sometimes you have to get in someone's face.

I'm not thrilled about taking Brown at 9. As of right now, 9 is way too high for Brown's value but I wouldn't mind trading down for him and picking up some extra picks. As it's always been though, we need a team to want to come up for us to move down.

Marshawn Lynch is currently rated #11 on scout's inc top 32 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft07/index .

Perhaps Green Bay would be willing to trade up to 9 for Lynch. Ahman Green is an UFA http://www.footballsfuture.com/2007/nfl/freeagentsRB.html and a star RB might be the last piece an 8-8 Packers team needs to break into the playoffs.

According to this trade chart, http://www.nfl.com/draft/story/6330687 , the difference between the 9th and 16th pick is 350 points.

Green Bay's 2nd round pick is worth 420 points. Though I would gladly take that 2 and exchange 1s, I would also ask for a 5th to replace the one we gave up for JH: 1(16), 2(41), 2(48), 3(73), 4(105), 5(144), 6(169), 7(201)

Also, I'd pull the trigger for Green Bay's 3rd, 4th, and 5th picks even though they only add up to 294 points: 1(16), 2(42), 3(73), 3(80), 4(105), 4(112), 5(144), 6(169), 7(201)

Obviously, the above situation is based on Marshawn Lynch actually being worthy of that #11 rank touted by scouts inc, him not being available at 16 for Green Bay, and Green Bay actually wanting to trade up.

I have a feeling Lynch may get hot the closer we get to the draft due to the lack of RB depth in this year's draft.
 
I'd be Ok with drafting Brown. Not a sexy pick and somewhat of a reach, but we do really need a left tackle and I'd much prefer taking him to taking Ginn or a safety. You gotta love the fire that he showed on the sideline, you need a little bit of mean streak on the o-line.

I don't see Green Bay trading their second round pick to move up seven spots, it just seems like a bit much to me. Might as well move up higher and take Peterson if he falls past Cleveland.
 
i would love it if that trade happen but i wouldnt mid pickin him at 9 either
 
I like all the thought that went into it but Lynch is not a talent that is worth trading up for. In fact, they wont even have to, Lynch will probably be avalible in the 20's.
 
I like Ginn first,but i would be happy with brown as well,WE NEED TOUGH GUYS ON OUR TEAM

Levi Brown might be gone by the time we pick. Here's a possible scenario...

1. Oakland - JaMarcus Russell
2. Detroit - Joe Thomas
3. TB - Calvin Johnson
4. Cleveland - Adrian Peterson
5. AZ - Jamaal Anderson or Levi Brown
6. Washington - Brady Quinn
7. Houston - Levi Brown or Jamaal Anderson
8. Minnesota - Gaines Adams

Then the Fins would end up taking one of these guys: DT Alan Branch, DT Amobi Okoye, S LaRon Landry, S Reggie Nelson, LB Paul Posluszny, LB Patrick Willis, WR Ted Ginn or WR Dwayne Jarrett.

My preference at that point would be trading down for an extra 2nd or 3rd round pick, and drafting Leon Hall in the 1st round. The way I figure it, a lockdown CB is our biggest need after Left Tackle.

We should consider ourselves lucky if we get Levi Brown at #9. Personally, I prefer Brown to Thomas because Brown never suffered the injury the Thomas did.
 
Oh.. my my my... LB Paul Posluszny, LB Patrick Willis?

No way.. thatd be the overreach of the century.

Also, chances are the only way we'll get to trade down is if by some nature Adrian Peterson slips to us @ #9. Green Bay would most definitely trade up with us to nab him before Atlanta , San Fran, and Buffalo get a chance.

Overreach of the century? I don't know about that.

But, yes, both of those LBs would probably be a reach. And I think you're right about Peterson. If he falls to #9, we should be able to trade down and pick up Hall, Puz, or Willis later in the 1st.

Puz is a third round pick. Willis is a late first rounder (25-32 most likely) its also very possible he falls into the second round.
 
I'm starting to warm up to the idea of drafting Levi Brown. My only question/worry is that is he more suited to play inside. If the powers that be say he can play LT, then hell yeah, draft him. This is the kinda guy Miami needs on its offensive line.

Lets see.. Willis left the Senior Bowl with a 2nd round grade on him by most scouts, and Poz left with a 3rd round grade on him..

yet a top 10 pick isnt considered a massive reach? Considering neither of them would start on the season opener?

Come on now!
 
Scout.com rates Levi Brown 54th in player prospect rankings. You can access the list from fox sports. You want to talk about the reach of the century, Brown at the 9th pick would be it!

I do not get your rational on Levi. first you put up a video of him as a leader charcter, which only raises someones stock when you have obvious talent, then you say you wouldnt take him at #9.

I would suggest to people that the Buffalo Bills would take him at #12. Levi is not as much of a reach as people make him out to be. He has all the tools. If a team would trade up to get Cutler, which IMO he has all the tools, just needs to prove it at the next level, is not so much a reach. We need a LT and Levi Brown can play LT. Those who say he cant, do not know what they are talking about.
