is there anybody for whom you'd trade 1st and 3rd rounders?


Recommended Posts

according to the draft pick values, our first and 3rd rounders are about equal to the 18th overall pick.

so, say on Saturday someone surprising drops to 18-- Mike Huff? Broderick Bunkley? Haloti Ngata? Ernie Sims? Vernon Davis?

is there a player that you'd cough up that 3rd rounder to get?

Is there a player for whom you could see the Bengals giving up that 3rd rounder?

Simply put...No. There's not enough difference in talent between 18 to 32 to just trade up six or eight spots.

i probably wouldn't even do it if it could get us into the top ten.

Now, if they fall in love with a guy(Marshal, Lawson, Hali, Kiwi, etc, etc) I can see them maybe trying to move up and packaging that first pick seventh rounder. But who'd take that, and it's just not Marvin's style.

I wouldn't mid seeing us trade Brian Simmons, our first rounder, and our fourth rounder to someone like Green Bay or SF to take AJ Hawk. But then again, I'm a huge Ohio State fanatic and it's going to be hard for me to root against the guy regardless of who he plays for.... Also, if San Francisco manages to land Hawk AND Whiter or Carpenter, I'm switching loyalties. ;)

But to answer the actual question, no, I wouldn't trade 1st and 3rd for six spots. We could pick up a good TE/CB/DT/DE in the third.

There are so many different variations to a trade when you start looking at packaging players, but that gets tricky and when it's all said and done, I still think Marvin will keep his picks (if not get more) and work the defensive issues. Well, at least I hope that's the way it goes !!!

WHODEY !!!

Two entirely different questions.

1) is there a player that you'd cough up that 3rd rounder to get? Super Mario, Davis, Hawk

2) Is there a player for whom you could see the Bengals giving up that 3rd rounder? NO!

M.Huff - Yes, absolutely

B.Bunkely - mmmaybe, but I'd be tempted to let him keep sliding/see if he moves another spot or two...

H.Ngata - Yes

Ernie Sims - Nope. I'm not sure I'd take him at 24. But I probably would...

V.Davis - Yes

Others...

AJ Hawk - sure, but he won't slide far enough

W.Justice - possibly *ducks to avoid being hit by rotten tomatoes being hurled at head*
