What do you guys think of the idea of trading up to the Bucs spot (3rd or 4th pick)? I have heard that the Bucs are looking to trade down. The only reason I am saying this is to get Calvin Johnson or Joe Thomas. Do you think these guys will be there at 3 or 4? I think one of them will. I am not one to say let's trade up, but I think these two guys are worth it. What would it take to trade up 5 or 6 spots?

What are your thoughts/suggestions/ideas?

Go Fins!!!!! :dolphins:
 
To move up 5 spots will take our 1st and 2nd. To move up 6 spots will take our 1st this year and a 1st next year. Do you think giving up so much will be worth it. Maybe.
 
I think trading up is viable only if the right player is available and the Bucs really want to trade up. The question is do they want to trade up or rape us for draft picks. We've seen how the "use FA to build" works (See Nick Saban...it doesn't), we've seen how the "trade all your picks away" works (Wanny...and it doesn't either). Lets build thru the draft by making good choices and see how that works now. Again, trading up is only viable when you have something to trade and the right player is available. Is Johnson or Thomas that player ?? I just don't know...
 
Only if Thomas or Johnson is still available. I'd still be against it though, we need all the draft picks we can get to fill holes. However, those two guys could end up being very special players.

That would be the only way I'd consider it, and maybe not even for Thomas. For Johnson I think he is the best player in the draft, but for Thomas if it meant sacrificing the 2nd rounder or next year's first I'd just hope for Brown at 9.
 
If Thomas is there at the Bucs pick and all they are asking is our second I dont think we could make that trade fast enough.... That is a stud at a need position.
 
no thank you, we NEED every one of our picks... one of the reasons we are where we are is because we have pissed away our picks, just say no.
 
I'd trade up in a heartbeat. If there is a player u want u have to be agressive and go after him, u cant just sit there and hope the players fall into yur lap.Also , id rather have agreat player than two mediocre guys.
 
The Bucs have said if they trade down, they want to go no lower than 7. They beleive that there are only 7 top first rounders. That said I would love for the Dolphins to be able to pick one of those two players.
 
If we trade, trade down. We need our draft picks, and more if we can get them.
 
NO! NO! NO! NO!

I don't care about the player. It's too risky. We've already skrewed up in drafts before so we need to start rebuilding w/ rookies. You do that through the draft. We're fine at num 9, if anything we trade to go to num 13 or 14.

With all the holes we have I think this is aterrible idea. However w/ K Jones out for half the seez the Lions could taking Adrian Peterson leaving both those players on the board.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think its gonna be that easy to trade up to that spot especially with a guy like that still on the boards then.

So the quality of the rookies doesn't matter, we should just stock pile picks and draft young bodies?
