  • Pack to trade up to Top 10 ??

    Adam_Schefter Packers, Eagles have expressed interest in trading up to 10-12 range. But it could depend on how board falls. Good prospects everywhere.

    Spiller? Williams? Buluga? Okung? Berry?

    Boy oh boy, maybe Ted's doin a flip on us after Matthews working out...

    Wonder what we'd have to give up... !!

    Berry sure would be nice. A more athletic Leroy Butler.

        Last Night on 620 WTMJ they where having draft talk. They brought this up about a possible trade rumor that the Packers where trying to move up. They said they think it is for OLB B. Graham or Bryan Bulaga. They also said that Bulaga probably wouldn't be there at 12, so they think it might have to be for Graham.

          It just strikes me that the talent from picks 10-30 is so close that it is not a great year to spend the capital to move up from 23 into the low teens. If you spend your 2nd and 3rd round pick to jump up to 12 and your guy gets picked at 10 you are kind of screwed.

          It would be better to have three picks between 30-50 than one pick at #12, unless, of course, something crazy happened such as Berry dropping that far.

            Heard this morning the potential trade is the Packers moving to #10, giving Jacksonville the #23, their 2nd round, and their 5th round pick this year, and a 2nd round pick next year for #10 and a 7th this year. (It was on the radio this morning so I have no "proof" of it)

              Ted has said (one of the few unequivocal statements he has made about his philosophy) that he would not trade a future 1st rounder for a current draft pick. That may not rule it out but it seems unlikely.

              Who is available at #10 that is such a level above similar players at #23?

              Is it a LB, OT, or DB? The best three tackles are projected to hop off the board before ten, and I would be surprised to see Thompson leap up after his previous high of a 2nd rounder for an O lineman. However, Left Tackle is one of the positions for which the normal rules do not apply in Wolf's theory of player acquisition.
              Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                  As much as I love CJ Spiller, I think if he's looking to trade up for a certain Tackle, he could probably keep all his picks and get just as good a value player as trading all those picks away to move up. I think this draft is that deep.

                    I agree with this. From all accounts this a "deep" draft with great value to be had at a number of position up to round 4.

                    Uless the Packers have identified "the missing piece" and feel they can go get it, I just don't see the sense in trading up this year.

                        Me too. Don't do this; unless this player is going to contribute in 2010 like Berry, Thomas, Haden, or a Spiller could. There are only a few who could contribute at a position of need (CB/S/OLB/RS/RB), I won't count LT since we do have Clifton now, it's kind of an expensive insurance policy if this is for Buluga who'll sit, when you can get Fox/Veldeer/Safford/Capers or someone else who'll also sit in rounds 2-4.

                        I'd have to think it'd be Berry or Thomas who could start at safety day one, and be groomed as the Polamalu type in Dom's 3-4 on top of Charles Woodson makes the defense that more dangerous.

                          I would give up pick #32 from next year to get Berry.

                            A friend of mine would like to see the Pack move up to get Berry.

                            Is Berry that good?

                              Well, if you can believe the hype. They say he's Ed Reed with speed.

                              When we get the fifth pick it's AJ Hawk.

                              Kansas City could take Berry with the 5th pick.
