Trade Up For Peterson?!?

[Partial]

Rumor has it Packers are in love with Peterson and are going to trade up to #8 to get him. WSSP was talking about it all day Friday afternoon.

How would you feel about this?

crappy

Mixed feelings.

Peterson has a lot of talent and relatively a smart player, but he was used a LOT at Oklahoma and I worry if he has too much mileage on him.

werent we so in love with reggie bush as well? i dont remember him playing at lambeau cept in week 2 last season.

Depends on what it costs us. If it's draft picks, I'm not really in favor of it. If it's a player who is expendable, I don't mind trading up. But I'd rather trade up for someone like Okoye than for Peterson.

Do you people honestly believe the TED THOMPSON is going to trade up for anybody???

I would rather trade up for Calvin Johnson....but I'd be real happy with Adrian Peterson.

Also, were they saying this is something that could happen somewhere down the road or in the upcoming couple of days?

Either one of those guys is gonna cost most of your draft picks to get up far enough to grab them. I HIGHLY doubt Teddy does that.

Maybe we can get rid of Fergy and KGB if Shermy is willing to take them.

Ballhawk,

There is no guarantee that Peterson will be available with the 8th pick, so if a trade were to be made, it wouldn't be made unless Peterson is available after the Vikings pick at #7. At any rate, it would cost TT his 2nd round pick to make the deal, and that ain't gonna happen. This sounds like a rumor made up by someone who is bored out of his mind.

Very true.

Well, maybe Peterson slides a little but it would be pretty expensive. I think if the Vikings traded 3 spots up to get Johnson it would cost a 1 and a 2 and maybe either a 3 or a 4. Trading up from 16 would cost a fortune.

Very slim chance of this happening. If this actually true, the rumuor wouldn't be out there at the moment. This may mean that they actually like Lynch better and hope that Peterson goes first.

If I had a choice of trading up to the top 10 at the price of our 1st rounder I'd say no. This is a deep draft and we need depth more than playmakers, IMO.
