We hold #5 that holds 1700.
They would likely have to give up their second rounder (#51) and their first next year to trade up to 5.
That would give us something like
#20
#36
#50
#51
this year that is essentially having FOUR first round draft picks ...and an additional first next year.
Flame me all you want, but that is a scenario I would pull the trigger for.
I wouldn't even be interested in something like this last year because the talent pool wasn't even close to as good as this year.
This will likely end up as one of the deepest drafts in NFL history once its all said and done and I wouldn't scoff at that many selections. Tough part of that is that we will be basically out of the talk of getting one of the top qbs next year (or in the next draft in all likelyhood) with that much of a talent infusion to the roster and the weak record next year.
1) Clausen
2) Berry
3) trade down for full value
4) Graham
5) McClain

It definitely makes sense why they would pull the trigger considering this team has alot of holes to fill.
