Packers in good spot

[Pacopete4]

if Sanchez from USC comes out to the NFL draft the packers could be sitting nice at #9. SF is right behind them at #10 and there might be a couple teams (MN,CHI,MIA,NYJ) might be looking to trade in front of SF to snag Sanchez who would be projected #1 the following season.... Your thoughts?

[HarveyWallbangers]

If Curry, Mays, and Rey are gone, I think they'd have to look at trading down or drafting Oher or the other OTs. I'm not high enough yet on any of the DL or other LBs to take at #9. Of course, Thompson would be criticized for trading down again. Of course, it's early and I don't really know what I'm talking about.

[Pacopete4]

I'm ok with a trade down if it nets their first and their 2or3rd otherwise I'll be pretty upset we didn't get a stud

[sheepshead]

Where are the Rodgers bashers saying we should trade up and get Sanchez?

[Bossman641]

I hope as many underclassmen come out as possible to push prospects down to us.

I'm not sure how many teams I could see behind us trying to move up to take a QB though.

10. SF
11. Buff - No
12. Den - No
13. Wash - No
14. NO - No
15. Hou - No
16. SD - No
17. NYJ
18. Chi

Like you said you'd probably be looking at the Jets or Bears moving up 8-9 spots if they wanted to leapfrog SF. How much compensation would that require? I'd have to guess quite a bit.

I think if Ted traded down from 9 to the late teens or early twenties Packer boards all over the internet might explode.

Great point.

Trade down. Brandon Spikes is the guy.

Trading with the Jets from #9 to #17 would require the Jets second pick at #49. The "point values" are almost a perfect match. The Packers would never make a trade in the first round with the Bears, and SF would have no reason to flop positions with GB.

The Packers have made a number of draft related trades with the Jets in recent years, the second round in 2007, first round in 2008, etc. Whether the Jets would be willing to give up their #2 to flip flop with GB from #17 to #9 is another question, but I could see it being done.

Thanks.

The one team I could see realistically trading with would be the Jets at 17. There are a few teams (Buff, Wash) behind us that have young QB's in their second and third years. I'd guess they'd be willing to give those guys more time. The other team I could maybe see would be the Bucs at 19: not sure how many years Garcia has left on his contract but there's not much behind him. Cardinals could be a longshot at 21. I don't know how they feel about Leinart, if they are willing to give him more time or they're sick of him.

SF might be interested in giving up a late rounder to swap spots if they coveted Sanchez, and were convinced we were close to a deal with the Jets.

I wouldn't mind seeing us trade down if we could get a good player at 17 and a second to boot. Extra picks would probably be needed if we switch to a 3-4 defensive scheme.

You can't have too many 7th round picks.

[red]

why would sf give up a later round pick to trade spots with us?

they know we aren't going to draft a qb

so if sanchez is there at #9 he's going to be there at #10 too

TT could tell SF that he is in negotiations with the Jets and is considering moving back to 17 or so in exchange for the Jets' 2nd round pick. He could tell SF he'd swap picks in exchange for a 5th rounder or whatever.

Not very likely IMO, but at least possible.

Washington and Buffalo were the two that stood out in your list as maybe being interested.

Edwards didn't have a great season in his second year as a starter, sputtering badly down the stretch. Campbell sure looked awful early in the season. Did he show enough later for management to have confidence in him?

Both these teams might be looking for another option, but you're probably right, they'll be looking for a lower round developmental pick while they see what they've got. In particular, I can't see Wash being very happy with Campbell.

I guess the threat that we would trade the pick to a team that does need a QB. Unlikely, but possible. With Thompson's reputation for trading down, it would be a legitimate concern for San Fran.
