Hypothetical established players for #1 pick
 

This is not intended to be a realistic thread.

I want to know what players already in the NFL you would trade the #1 pick for. They can be QB's, RB's, DT's, OL, punters...whatever.

I'll start with some non-QB's:

Calvin Johnson
A.J. Green
Von Miller
J.J. Watt

If it's not a top 5 QB I'm not interested.

Andrew Luck

Case closed.

Andrew luck.

I wouldn't trade the #1 pick for any player in the NFL because none of them have a penis as chocolatey as Geno.

Rodgers, Brady, Luck, JJ Watt, Megatron.

Absolutely none. Pick Geno Smith.

You managed to find the largest image of Aaron Rodgers that also has the lowest image quality.

Bravo.

QB's:

Tom Brady
Peyton Manning
Eli Manning
Aaron Rodgers
Drew Brees
Russel Wilson
RGIII
Andrew Luck
Cam Newton
Tony Romo
Matt Ryan
Colin Kaepernick

Those are all of the QB's I'd trade the #1 this year for...I was 50/50 on Tony Romo but if Geno develops to be as good as Romo I'd totally be happy.

Tony Romo and Kaepernick? WTF?

Passing on a proven to draft an unproven.

Bravo.

I think people are pretty unrealistic when it comes to this #1 pick.

Andrew Luck only?

really? really?

I listed 11 QB's and if Geno turns out to be as good as any one of them I'll be more than happy.

I'd happily trade the #1 for Colin Kaepernick.

Romo was fringe...but he has all of the tools a QB needs. Great release, plus arm, good pocket awareness, good mobility...I think the dysfunctional Cowboys franchise holds him back, but he is starting to come off as quite the choker even to an apologist like me.

Kaepernick no doubt.

Stay safe poverty ghost.


And no, I wouldn't give up the first pick for RGIII.

I want a young QB so we can enjoy a decade of domination.

You can keep Manning and Brady. I could be convinced to take Rogers, but this is his 8th year in the league.

basically, I just wanted to see what the expectations were:

so far I predicted as much...

we expect to get an Andrew Luck and some people went as far as to say they wouldn't trade it for anyone, not even Aaron Rodgers

which is ridiculous

For me the player would have to be young. For the #1 pick I want someone with 10 years of elite left in them.

Die slowly

I'd take 3 years of Peyton Manning for the #1 pick and the rest of our draft.

Romo is Brett Favre but he's missing the Favre.

I'd give a 4th round pick for him to be backup to Geno Smith.

P.S. This is a totally unrealistic, hypothetical thread. The Packers would never trade Aaron Rodgers, the Colts would never trade Luck, pretty sure the Lions are content with Calvin Johnson etc...

Aaron Rodgers
RGIII
Luck

That's it

Cam Newton, straight up.

Seriously? JJ Watt? I wouldn't trade the first overall for Watt.

Yes, lets discuss impossibilities.

One playoff game and injury and suddenly we wouldn't trade our #1 for rg3? Ha ha Jesus

I think Tony Romo is under rated by a lot of people, but I would not trade the #1 for him.

I also would not trade the #1 for Cam Newton, in spite of the fact that he might be the most physically gifted of any of those QBs, because I seriously question the mental aspect of his talent.

Outside of QB, I would not trade the #1 overal for any other position.

Great players at any other position are just cogs, outstanding cogs to be sure, but just cogs, nonetheless.

If you don't have a QB, you are wasting your time.

Luck, Manning, Manning, Rodgers, Rothlisberger, Cam, Romo, Brady, Rivers, Stafford, Cutler.

I am just pointing out how unrealistic this board is, once again, regarding all draft picks

stay safe poverty ghost

Right now, no I wouldn't. I don't think that style will last long in the NFL.

This board is NOT unrealistic.

It's not about being unrealistic.

I'm fully aware that Green Bay is not going to trade Aaron Rodgers for our first pick.

It's about giving up a potential franchise QB for some ****ing WR, DE, or LB. Franchise QB > any other position. If you aren't offering a franchise QB then piss off.

I'd love to see, if they fire Rivera next year, Shannahan JR go run his system in Carolina with Cam.


I think he'd be a monster in that.

Why? Our roster isn't in shape for a serious title run and Manning's skills will start decaying before the 3 years are up. We did this once with Montana and that didn't work.

I want a 10-year franchise level QB. Short of that, I'm willing to roll the dice with Geno, understanding that it probably won't work out the way I want. I'm willing to step up to the table to roll again if Geno doesn't work out.

Well, given our current roster and recent woes at the QB position, it would be damn near impossible to justify sending off the #1 pick for anything other than a QB..

But to play your game (using non-QBs to make it more fun):

Patrick Willis
Von Miller
JJ Watt
Richard Sherman
Darrelle Revis (even though he's pretty old)
AJ Green
Julio Jones
Joe Thomas
Rob Gronkowski
Jimmy Graham
Richard Sherman
Aldon Smith
Jon Beason

I wouldn't for aj green

So would I.

The QB's I'd trade this years #1 overall for:

Aaron Rodgers
Matt Ryan
Luck
Griffin
Newton
Brees
Brady

That's it for me.

Stay safe poverty ghost

Except he's had multiple injuries dating back to his days at Baylor.

I'm not really sure that it is being unrealistic, but I definitely feel like people over-value draft picks.

I mentioned in a thread yesterday that I thought we should offer our second rounder for a 24 year old Percy Harvin. People responded with, "Why would we trade for Harvin? We could just draft a WR with that pick."

Really? You think it is as easy as just turning in a card for our next top 5 receiver? Percy Harvin is who that pick turns out to be in the absolute best case scenario. Odds are the player doesn't come close to making the impact Harvin would.

A non-Chiefs' fan asked me the other day if I'd trade the #1 overall for Romo. Without hesitation I said no, and he thought I was crazy. After thinking about it for a bit, if you told me that the guy we are going to pick would put up 4,500+ yards and a bunch of touchdowns and lead the team and be the face of the franchise, I would take that 10 times out of 10. It just sounds so absurd to trade the #1 for a guy like that, and I probably still wouldn't do it just because of the hope that you strike gold, but it is interesting to think about.

Here's the "face" of the Cowboys... EVERY ****ING YEAR!

QBs I'd trade the #1 overall for (in order of most want):

Rodgers
P. Manning
Brady
Wilson
RGIII
Brees
Luck
E. Manning
Ryan

I could be convinced to give it up for Kaepernick or Newton with a bit more time. Dalton, though young and showing promise, just doesn't impress me for some reason..

Perhaps shockingly, I'd pass on Roethlisberger and Flacco. I gave Romo half a thought then he threw another interception, so no..

EDIT: Forgot a couple guys:

Stafford is a hell no. THE WORST footwork I've ever ****ing seen.

Rivers is old and blows. No.

Freeman, no. Bradford, no.

Not me! Nobody in the AFC West gets my #1 pick. Plus, in 3 years we're back to needing a QBOTF.

Rodgers
Luck
RGIII

Stay safe poverty ghost

LOL

Pick our own QB **** trading

Um as long as he doesnt fold in the big games like Romo does

Man, I don't see how any of you guys can look at what Wilson's done so far and NOT want to give up the 1st for him..

He passes the ball well, runs the ball well, makes great decisions, seems to be injury free, and a is great leader.

I want him on me..

Romo is going to be 33 next year and is anti-clutch.

Here we go

1. Rodgers
2. Luck
3. Andy Dalton (bring it bitches)
4. AJ Green
5. Aldon Smith
6. Patrick Willis
7. JJ Watt
8. Tom Brady (he's got a good 5 years left)
9. RG3

Sorry I couldn't give a top 10

Aldon Smith and Arron Rodgers would be #1 for me.

Even not knowing what, exactly, is wrong with his knee, I'd trade the #1 for RGIII right now.

I skull ****ed the poverty ghost last night.

Rodgers and that's it.

But it's not something that's going to happen in any event. We might as well discuss which supermodels we'd deign to bang if they showed up on our doorstep. It's about as fruitful a subject.

That's cray

Geno Smith's tools, skill set, intangibles and ceiling in an Andy Reid offense?

There's not a guy in the NFL that I'd give up the #1 for at this point.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5RdnGumF0Ng?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Luck
RG3
Rodgers
Ryan

That's it.

Wrap it up your poor-ass ghost.

Take it back I say!

I bet the Rams wish they could take back the trade.

Do you wish you had stayed put and taken RGIII?

Be honest.

No, but if Luck were available at 2 I might reconsider. I don't think RGIII will last as long as Bradford will in the league. I also thought it was a great return and bodes well for the future as the Rams went through the worst 5 year stretch in NFL history. 1 player won't solve the entire team's issues.

Aaron Rodgers

WTF????????

Stay safe, Poverty Ghost.


Don't you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby.

You are lying to yourself. So far, Bradford looks like jag.

Sorry.

Stay safe poverty ghost.

They should have. Why they are hell bent on bradford I dont know.

I remember getting laughed at for suggesting this last year.

Then why were the Colts and Redskins so terrible last year and in the playoffs this year?

The Rams would have won at least 11 games with Luck or RG3 this year, IMO. Their defense is awesome.

If a guy was sacked 30 consecutive games, went to a team that had 6 wins the 3 seasons prior to when he was drafted, went through 3 OCs in 3 season, you'd still give him a chance, wouldn't you?

Bradford is like Cassel.

He isn't good but his defenders will continue to fall back on how the team around him isn't perfect.

Meanwhile, you've got 3 rookies in the playoffs this year and 1 QB in his first half year of starting in his 2nd season.

Best post in this thread.

You're very unlikely to ever win a SB if you don't have let's say a top 8 QB.

It's all about getting that elite QB IMO.

So I'd trade the pick only for Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Luck, Griffin, Roethlisberger ...

Redskins have more offensive weapons than the Rams do, Colts were beneficial of a weak ass schedule(3rd weakest in the NFL). Plus, neither went 15-65 over a 5 year stretch.

Tom Brady
Ben Roethlisberger
Andrew Luck
Peyton Manning
Robert Griffin III
Aaron Rodgers
Drew Brees

The Rams won 7 games in a tough division with a crappy QB. They would be so awesome if they had a QB.

Still no love for Wilson.

Y'ALL GON' LEARN NEXT WEEK!

If Russell goes into ATL and beats the Falcons, would those of you not putting him on your list reconsider?

None of them inherited a team as shitty as Bradford or went through 3 OC changes in 3 seasons.

Going from the West Coast Offense to McDaniels' O with a lockout is a pretty big ****ing difference.

The jury's still out on Bradford, in my opinion. I'm not going to judge him until after next season when he's been under the same scheme for 2 seasons.

Before I wasn't a believer in Wilson, now I am.

He's been great since the 2nd half of the season.
