I hate to be "that guy"...
But what would your impression be of a trade of the #3 and #34 to the Vikings for their #7 and #18?
It's looking like your man is going to have to be Rodgers or Smith at QB, and barring lunacy, one should be available at #7.
Just throwing something out there, obviously these things never happen, but I want to see my club do what it takes to sign Derrick Johnson, and unless Cleveland plans on hurriedly bringing in bandaid players like Warner, Brad johnson, or Gus Frerotte, (and even if) then they should be looking to go with a QB. |

Don't worry, you're not "that guy." Some years, that offer would be in the ballpark, just not this one, in my opinion. Problem is, there may be no real difference between 18 and 34 (except 18 costs more).
Browns would love to move down, but to only to gain picks. How about #3 for #7 and a 2nd rounder? |

How about Onterrio Smith, the #7, and that sweet 7th rounder we picked up from Oakland? He could pick right up where William Green left off.
in more ways than one....

| Neither one of those offers is enough they would have to do 7 2nd round and 5th round to get the 3 or maybe a mid round pick next year instaed of the 5th this year...The other one is way off it would take 7 and 18 to get 3. |

True, I know what you're saying, but we have to accept that the chart doesn't rule this year (at least at the top of the 1st round). Moving down from #3 to #7 may be worth it for a 2nd round pick, especially since it looks like we could move down again from #7.
And no, I don't want anyone off the Vikings lengthy police blotter, but I do appreciate the creativity of "that guy's" offer.

Even in your usual balanced draft with more of a talent gap, the #7+#18 out values the #3 according to the famous draft value chart. By a mid-3rd rounder even.
This isn't your grandmother's draft, but if that's the counter offer, and I had the authority to pull the trade, I'd politely decline and then call 3 or 4 of my GM friends to laugh behind your back. |

I respectfully suggest that we all are paying a bit too much heed to the draft pick trading chart. The dynamic changes every year, again with every round, and sometimes with every pick. This year early 1st round pick are not worth quite what they might be in other years.
On the other hand, the Vikings GM would have no right to "laugh" at anybody. Jesus, which team is most likely to "pass" when their turn comes up? Get a pick up there on time before you mock others, ok?
I'd still do #3 for #7 and the 2nd round pick. |

| I can't do # 3 and # 34 for your 2 first rounders. Maybe #3 and our 3rd or 4th, but we really aren't getting any sort of deal. You get your WR probably, and we get not much else in return. I'd probably swap 3rd's with you and give you a fifth or sixth rounder plus # 3for your to # 1's. That seems fair to me. |
