Packer Draft Day Crystal Ball

[b bulldog]

I think the more picks you can get during day one of the draft the better, within reason of course. I would love to see TT trade down with a team like the Bears for their 1 and 2 and pick up Jarrett or Ginn with the 1 and in the second round get Pittman and Meriweather in round two. Maybe you could squeeze a fourth or fifth rounder out of them also. The ultimate would be moving our 16 overall to the Pats for their 24 and 28 overall. Pick Ginn at 24, pick Olsen at 28 and pick Meriweather or Pittman in the second round.

Since bust possibility is such a factor, having those multiple picks is terrific.
I always esp. like drafting the players with great college production - but downgraded because of measurables.

I am now beginning to think that a trade down - perhaps with Denver - is a possibility.
It would not surprise me to see the Packers wind up drafting perhaps Darrelle Revis, Kenny Irons, and Eric Weddle - if a trade down 5 spots enables them to pick up an extra #2.

As a rule of thumb trading down gets you the pick 2 rounds later. Trading down in the first nets you a third, trading down in the second gets you a 4th etc. The exception is the first third of the first round.

It matters solely on who you are dealing with and how bad the team covets the player they are willing to move up to pick.

[The Shadow]

I don't see trading down in the first to be always worth merely a 3rd round choice.
Too many variables : how many slots down are you going? How coveted is the player?

Rob Demovsky, of PackersNews.com, reports California RB Marshawn Lynch will visit with the Green Bay Packers late next week. He is also scheduled to visit the Falcons.

If Lynch is there at 16...he will be wearing Green and Gold!!!!

[The Shadow]

That would be the choice that would seem to make sense.
But Buffalo....?
Hope they go linebacker after losing Spikes.

[b bulldog]

Spikes and Fletcher.

[The Shadow]

Oh yeah - London Fletcher (or is that 'Fletcher-Baker' now?)
Well, maybe Lynch WILL be there after all.

According to the draft trade value table, http://www.gbnreport.com/tradevaluetable.html
trading down from 16 to 21 would only net you a 3rd round pick. Now if we threw in Fergy...
