    Michael Turner

    Why not? Proven stud back that can play with the best of them. Ok bad thing is that he would cost at least a 1st rounder and i think SD would do that because they run the risk of getting nothing for him next year.

    Why dont we trade our 1st rounder down as far as possible and get an extra prcik and then work a sign and trade for him?

    I don't think they'd be able to get him for a late 1st round pick.

      Apparently TT thinks he's ok at RB... I think that's delusional - this years RB situation is starting to look like the OL situation from 2 years ago.

      TT seems to be showing modest interest in treating a couple of nickel backs to dinner (Walker and James), but other than that, I don't expect that we'll see any FA signings in GB b/4 the draft.

        I think they could get him for a 1st round pick; but, really, does anyone really think that TT is going to give up a pick, AND, pay big $$$....

        No way.

          Do the deal, give up our 1st and 3rd, why take a chance on something unproven and just go ahead and get Turner?

          Imagine a Turner/Morency combo in the ZBS...

            I would love to trade our first rounder for Michael Turner. I think he's a proven back in the league, opposed to gambling and not knowing what you're getting in the draft. However, if we trade our first rounder for Turner, that almost kills the deal with Moss because I doubt TT is willing to give up very many picks.

              If thats the case, we would have been 100 times better trading for McGahee...

              Turner's not worth our 1st and 3rd.

                  What are you guys smoking???

                  NO WAY does TT give up a 1st round pick... he wouldn't give up a 1st round pick for Peyton Manning.

                  Like I said, and sadly I think this is correct, he thinks he's fine at RB... all that crap about "build from within". While I agree with that in general, if you have nothing from "within", you had better look from "without".

                    I view him trading the 1st round pick is basically drafting a stud RB which Turner is. So thats building from within

                      we pick up one of the good recievers remaining at our 2nd pick, our offense is better by leaps and bounds. Then just add secondary depth, and overall defensive draft via the FA and the later rounds.

                      Turner would get us a lot closer to the playoffs then a rookie.

                        Yeah, he certainly got the chargers a lot closer than the patriot and colts made it with their rookie rbs.

                          again have you ever seen him play?

                            Doing it TT's way is the long term approach... TT couldn't care less about the playoffs in the short term.

                            Of course given that Favre will be gone in a year or two, the long term doesn't look good either.

                              what does that have to do with my point??? I'm just saying that probably the two bests in the NFL last year had rookie running backs carrying their weight. Turner may be better than any RB in this years draft class, but only time will tell.
