I apologize if it came off wrong, but my blindly comment is just moving up in the draft to X spot to have better pickings. Example.. move to 15 to ensure that we can pick from Player A,B and C.

Although at the time I was in the belief that we paid too high of a price to leap up and grab Matthews, meaning pick A and B for our package of picks to move up x number of slots.. that is the type of pounce I would advocate at this point. And in hindsight of the player Matthews as become at the pro level.. of course my initial reaction to the deal was moot and incorrect. One of millions of times I have been incorrect in life and sports.. and will not be the last, lol.

That is what I mean, let the board come to you.. if there is clearly one player you value that much and he can be obtained without selling out to get him.. go for it. Otherwise.. play the odds and pick value at each pick and let the chips fall.

McClellin is the big reason I'd like to see the Packers trade down to early 2nd round (c. 35).

I think he might be a bit of a stretch at 28, but IMO so are Reyes, Mercilius (sp?), Branch, Hightower, Curry, and the others I've heard mentioned at 28. Not John Michels- or Mike Mamula-type stretches, but stretches in the sense that they are more #35-38 talent than #25-28 talent. To my mind, this draft is made for a TT-type trade down at #28.

I expect McClellin to be long gone by the time the packers' scheduled 2nd rounder rolls around, and I wouldn't be upset if they decide to take him as early as 28, but if he's the guy targeted by TT, IMO dropping down a few spots wouldn't be a big risk.

(Assuming that Ted Thompson thinks there's a trade partner out there...which may not be the case.

I'd also be okay with stretching for Branch at 28. I'd rather have McClellin, though.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Hey Steve,

We gave up a R2 and two R3s to jump back into the #26. We may be able to do same with a player and picks for a team desperate for WRs. But, yeah, it sure won't be easy. Thankfully, there are a lot of teams rebuilding that could use volume of picks, the kind of volume we could offer.

Wade, I really like that McClellin kid, and I'm trying my damnedest to keep from talking about him too much. I think his value is a little higher, but who knows? Some have him going as the #1 3-4 LB. Others don't. Guess I'd be pretty happy adding any of Upshaw, Hightower, Mercillus, Jones, Perry, Branch or McClellin. Would love to add a DE/DT and a NT in there too.

Player trades without also involving significant picks don't really happen on draft day that I know of. It's going to most likely cost future picks to do anything like that, nobody wants GBs throwaway players that much.

It's more likely that any trading up will involve rounds 3-5ish similar to the Morgan Burnett trade (even though Ted looked completely depressed talking about giving up that precious 4th round pick).

Remember every year a star wr shows up, it all comes down to how good the qb is that year.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
