WHAT IF DA VIKES OFFER A FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICK FOR FAVRE ?

[Bretsky]

IF YOU ARE THE GM

What if the Vikings offered us a first round draft pick for Brett Favre.

Let's assume that we can only garner a 4th round pick elsewhere.

Do you make the deal ?

It would never happen but I'd do it from the Packers perspective. A 1st round pick for a guy you don't even want? No brainer.

Being realistic, if Favre comes back it's likely he will only play one more year and at the most three or so years. It's unlikely we will move forward full stride without missing a beat, with a new QB, as some would like us to believe.

I'd do the deal knowing it will help us immensely down the road...even if it allows the Vikings to go deep into the playoffs

I hate first round picks--no way in hell-ever.

How 'bout you just let those tampering charges stick and take their first rounder anyway and then trade him to the other team, netting you a first and a fourth?

Tampering charges will net you nothing. The pick would be forfeit most likely and certainly not a first.

STOP is you er

Even if MN tampered I don't think they have to give their pick to us silly; TT just did this to bend over the Vikes and the Favre camp

[MJZiggy]

I knew that'd get you to pipe up... :P

So Zig, what's your answer on the poll?

Like TT, she has no comment; let her create a timeline for a response

Actually, she will probably vote no

Actually, in the case of the 49ers-Bears tampering charge, the 49ers forfeited a draft pick and swapped picks with Chicago (getting the lower of the two picks) in one round. Indeed, it did net the Bears something. Makes sense. The tampering not only could have helped the team doing it, but it also could have hurt the team that owned the rights to that player.

It helped them all the way to 7-9 and the NFC North cellar. :P

That's not netting a first round pick....did they swap in the first round, or later rounds....by the way, you are also jacking the thread....
