Hypothetical established players for #1 pick

[unnecessary drama]

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

[unnecessary drama]

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

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 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.

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

[ILChief]

I wouldn't for aj green

So would I.

[KCrockaholic]

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.

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.
