What do you think it would take to trade up to #2?
At #2 we would either get Joe Thomas or Calvin Johnson.
Joe Thomas is 6' 8'' and is has the frame to put on more weight and muscle and Calvin Johnson is a freak that would be our #1 reciever for years to come. I wouldn't mind giving up our 1st 2nd and 2nd round next year and maybe even more. What do you think?

Giving up picks is a risky business my friend. I'd hate to see three day 1 picks go to pick up a single player. Didn't we already trade away this year's 2nd for Joey?
 
I think we would package too many picks to move up that far. I don't have the handy-dandy value chart, but to get to #2 would seem far too great of a jump.

No, we gave our 5th. It would only be a 2nd for somebody like Feeley. :D

That's right. Living in the past, I'm afraid. Too bad there was no-one of Feeley's Caliber available to give up a 2nd rounder for. :lol:

Getting Calvin Johnson would by the ideal pick for Miami this year. Not only is he the best player coming out he would fill Miami's most biggest need at WR.

However, trading up to #2 is unrealistic. Most teams go by a draft pick value chart (creation of Jimmy Johnson I believe) and our 1st and two 2nds wouldn't even cut it. The #2 pick according to the charts is equivalent to the number #9 and #11 (which we don't have) picks. Considering this team does not have the luxury to spend a couple of #1 pics on "one" player it is not likely to happen.

If we trade up that high, we should be targeting a QB in my opinion....

definitely, if you trade up your going after Quinn. only QBs are worth the value it is going to cost to trade up that far
 
Yeah, I'd love to trade up to get either Calvin Johnson or Joe Thomas, but it won't happen. I do think that we need to try to trade down because at #9, we are just out of reach of those surefire "elite" players.
 
with that said it would cost way too much to trade up that far, we won't do it
 
If you trade up to #2, it definitely has to be Calvin Johnson. OL can be addressed in FA. This is the best player in the draft by far, and noone should pass this guy up. If we traded to #2, we could draft a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Trade what? We've given up enough draft picks over the last few years. If anything we trade down a little and accumulate picks.
