After typing that, I also don't see how it would make it easier.

Not really.
If we do want to trade down we'd $#it all over Geno and offer the pick to the highest bidder. If we really want him we aren't moving. Since we do (appear) to want to move down distancing ourselves from Geno makes sense. It opens up communications with teams willing to make a (stupid comp) trade to guarantee they get him...

They must show interest and legitimize Geno IF they want another team to emotionally and psychologically justify their own move to trade up especially when YOU are team that is in just as much need of a QBOTF as well and all you have is Captain America. Reid has a huge rep for finding and developing QBs and if Reid doesn't show any interest then that will 'SPOOK' others as well. Don't want to spook if you are trying to find a trading partner. |

I still think that they want to trade down and take Barkley, maybe Fisher. |

One more scenario... what if Jacksonville is faking interest in Geno to negotiate a trade down?

If it comes off that Jacksonville is interested in Geno, it increases our chance of a trade down. |

Also, coaching has a LOT to do with a QB bust rate IMO. Oakland is/was/will likely be for a long time, a complete mess. When you surround a good person with nothing but trash then that person will likely become what he's surrounded by day in day out. If Russell would have been drafted by NE then I'd think he'd have a lot more success. |
