Hypothetical established players for #1 pick

[Hootie]

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

[jd1020]

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

[Hoover]

Andrew Luck

Case closed.

[wheeler08]

Andrew luck.

[Hammock Parties]

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

[O.city]

Rodgers, Brady, Luck, JJ Watt, Megatron.

[Rasputin]

Absolutely none. Pick Geno Smith.

[Hammock Parties]

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

Bravo.

[Hootie]

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.

[jd1020]

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?

[Mr_Tomahawk]

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

Bravo.

Passing on a proven to draft an unproven.

Bravo.

[Hootie]

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.

[Hammock Parties]

Passing on a proven to draft an unproven.

Bravo.

[Hootie]

Tony Romo and Kaepernick? WTF?

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.

[O.city]

Stay safe poverty ghost.


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

[Hoover]

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.

[Hootie]

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

[Bewbies]

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

[In58men]

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.

Die slowly

[Hootie]

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

[jd1020]

Kaepernick no doubt.

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.

[Hootie]

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...

[slimdagreat]

Aaron Rodgers
RGIII
Luck

That's it

[O.city]

Cam Newton, straight up.

[The Franchise]

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

[007]

Yes, lets discuss impossibilities.

[Hootie]

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

[milkman]

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.

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.

[O.city]

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

[Hootie]

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

[Shogun]

stay safe poverty ghost

[O.city]

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

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

[In58men]

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

This board is NOT unrealistic.

[jd1020]

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

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.

[cdcox]

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

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.

[ThaVirus]

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

[ThaVirus]

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

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.

[unothadeal]

Stay safe poverty ghost

[Rams Fan]

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

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

[doomy3]

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

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 FUCKING YEAR!

http://i.usatoday.net/sports/_photos/2007/07/01/romo-topper.jpg

[ThaVirus]

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.

[rockymtnchief]

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

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

[TribalElder]

Stay safe poverty ghost

LOL

Pick our own QB fuck trading

[MotherfuckerJones]

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

[ThaVirus]

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..

[cdcox]

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

[In58men]

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.

[Pitt Gorilla]

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

[CrazyPhuD]

I skull fucked the poverty ghost last night.

[keg in kc]

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.

[In58men]

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

That's cray

[Saccopoo]

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.

[BossChief]

Luck
RG3
Rodgers
Ryan

That's it.

[JoeyChuckles]

Wrap it up your poor-ass ghost.

[Rams Fan]

Bradford, no.

Take it back I say!

[jd1020]

Take it back I say!

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

[ThaVirus]

Take it back I say!

Do you wish you had stayed put and taken RGIII?

Be honest.

[Rams Fan]

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.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Aaron Rodgers

[Mama Hip Rockets]

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

WTF????????

[Strongside]

Stay safe, Poverty Ghost.


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

[BossChief]

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.

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

Sorry.

[Red Dawg]

Stay safe poverty ghost.

[Red Dawg]

Do you wish you had stayed put and taken RGIII?

Be honest.

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

[jd1020]

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

Sorry.

I remember getting laughed at for suggesting this last year.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

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.

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.

[Rams Fan]

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

Sorry.

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?

[jd1020]

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.

[Buckweath]

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.

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 ...

[Rams Fan]

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.

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.

[AussieChiefsFan]

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

[Mama Hip Rockets]

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.

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

[ThaVirus]

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?

[Rams Fan]

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.

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 fucking difference.

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

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.

[Rams Fan]

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?

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

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

[BossChief]

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?

There were rumors that three teams called StL about trading Bradford...IMO that would have been a no brainier...even if all he got ya was a late first or early second...and that comes from a guy that was higher than anyone else on Sam as a prospect.

Getting RG3 and another premium pick should have been a no brainier, but you guys hired the king of 8-8 in Jeff Fisher, so he is probably in love with Sam.

[AussieChiefsFan]

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?I nearly put him on my list. Another win would do it.

[BossChief]

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?

Your point is valid. I might be willing to hand over the top pick for him...but I'd have to think long and hard about it.

I think I'd rather have Geno, tbh.

[Demonpenz]

I will start with the No Doubters

Andrew Luck
AJ Green
JJ Watt.

[teedubya]

Stay safe, Poverty ghost.

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

Aaron Rodgers
Luck
Griffin

The others are getting too old.
_____________

[crazycoffey]

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.

Romo is cassel with a slightly better arm. Slightly.... Romo has over kicked his coverage on the cowboys like he did with simpson

[Hootie]

Slightly?

Romo has a very good arm.

[KurtCobain]

Romo has a crazy impressive release. if we could somehow acquire him and use the number 1 pick on a different position I would not be mad.

[Dave Lane]

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

Last year Pioli passed on him for free.

[RunKC]

Current players worth the #1 pick, not pertaining to the needs of this team, just guys who are worth the #1 pick.

JJ Watt
Von Miller
Joe Thomas
Aaron Rodgers
Andrew Luck
Calvin Johnson
AJ Green



Patrick Peterson and Patrick Willis are debatable. But positional value is key. I also think Luke Keuchly is a BAMF but again, positional value.

[mdchiefsfan]

stay safe poverty ghost. God Damn it!

[munkey]

This board is NOT unrealistic.

This BOARD is going to implode when AR doesn't pick Geno...

[Rasputin]

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

so far I predicted as much...

which is ridiculous

First I don't have expectations that Geno Smith is going be an Andrew Luck. Aaron Rodgers would be ok for a few years maybe we get lucky & maybe not win a Super Bowl? There is no NO guarantee in this league for any QB to win a Super Bowl that we go after. What I want is to get our own QB from the draft that we can build a team around that has potential to be great. Geno Smith "could" be that guy. Maybe not but I sure the **** want to find out. I am sick and tired of retread QBs. I didn't want Joe ****ing Montana when we got him. I want our own QB to build a championship team around that could be great for a decade to come.

We can win with Geno Smith I have no doubt about it. We are too stupid of a franchise to find out.

[htismaqe]

This BOARD is going to implode when AR doesn't pick Geno...

ROFL

If he doesn't pick Geno, it'll be Tyler Wilson. And everyone will be happy.

[Rain Man]

Players who are worth the #1 pick in the draft (assuming we're getting them at their current age):

Robert Griffin III
Calvin Johnson
Aaron Rodgers
Adrian Peterson
Julio Jones
A.J. Green
Jamaal Charles
J.J. Watt
Clay Matthews?

Guys who are worth a top-ten pick:

JJ Watt over Drew Brees? No andrew Luck?

Brees is in his 30s now, and it'd be hard to give up a #1 pick for a guy in his 30s. That's why Brady and Manning aren't on the list at all.

I want to see more out of Andrew Luck. He got a lot of at-bats this year to produce good production stats, but he wasn't dominating like RGIII was. I'd be tempted to put him in my top ten list due to potential.

[Rasputin]

How many years can you trust RGIII to take the field? Can he make it through a season & playoffs without being hurt? I'd rather have Luck or Russell Wilson than RGIII. I'd take Geno Smith over RGIII for that I think Geno can succeed & stay healthy for long term.

[Mr. Laz]

Absolutely none. Pick Geno Smith.:shake:

so you wouldn't take Aaron Rodger for the #1 pick?



ROFL

[ILChief]

Luck
RG3
Rodgers


Maybe megaton. That's probably about it

[Rasputin]

:shake:

so you wouldn't take Aaron Rodger for the #1 pick?



ROFL

I don't give a fuck. I've wanted to draft our own QBotf at top of the draft for 20+ years. Hypothetically sounds great to get Aaron Rodgers, I wouldn't be a dummy & not do it. Doesn't change the fact I want to draft a QBotf at top of the draft over any other retread & I don't curr who they are.


There is no guarandamntee that Aaron Rodgers, Tomm Brady, or Peyton Manning would bring us a championship. I also understand that there is no guarandamntee that Geno Smith would either. My feeling is I want us to DRAFT a QBotf PERIOD.

Let alone realistically there is no chance in HELL that Green Bay would even sneeze in the direction of trading away Aaron Rodgers for our first strait up. So why make a case for it?

Fuck Retreads.

[Rain Man]

How many years can you trust RGIII to take the field? Can he make it through a season & playoffs without being hurt? I'd rather have Luck or Russell Wilson than RGIII. I'd take Geno Smith over RGIII for that I think Geno can succeed & stay healthy for long term.

Steve Young and Randall Cunningham had long careers. I suspect they're bigger than RGIII, and of course Young was built like a truck. I see your point about a pocket passer being safer, though.

It's weird to me that every single Super Bowl isn't won by a running quarterback, and in fact they never are. Running quarterbacks scare the bejeezus out of me on defense. It's like having a 12th man lining up at running back. But obviously there's some flaw in my thinking.
