Should Ted Make a Play for a QB/Trade Up or Down at 21?· Page 7

Maybe, Pack and Vikes can deal? 🙄

From rotoworld.com:

Appearing on SportsCenter Thursday, ESPN's Adam Schefter called the Vikings "a team to watch" for Louisville QB Teddy Bridgewater.

Schefter indicated he wouldn't necessarily expect Minnesota to draft Teddy at No. 8 overall, but they could be willing to trade back into the end of round one to secure him. The Vikings made a similar move to land Cordarrelle Patterson last April. In other Bridgewater news, Schefter stated NFL teams never viewed him as a truly elite prospect "behind closed doors," despite media speculation to the contrary. "I don't know that he was ever viewed as a No. 1 overall pick," Schefter stated. We expect Teddy's "sweet spot" to be in the 24-39 pick range.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Queens get a QB, they could take a step forward from total shit suckage.

Perhaps, a Vikings trade down, and a Packers trade up to 8 instead of the traditional thinking of them trading up with us from 2nd back into 1st. Would be pretty exciting thought if one of the studs is still left there at 8, and they only reason Ted Thompson would do it.

While I like it uff, I just can't see it. Would take quite a lot to move up that high.

TT has traded up into Round 1 before giving up his two 3rd rounders to get Clay.

Just for hypothetical speculative banter... WHO would it take being there at 8 for Ted to make one of those types of moves way up there? There's gotta be a guy he would deal a bunch of picks and or player(s) for. I wonder who that would be? Khalil Mack, perhaps?

In all seriousness, if Khalil Mack fell to 8 I think that would be worth considering. We'd be so loaded at pass rushers and we'd have the heir apparent to Peppers. Going forward, Neal and Perry as your backups would look pretty damn good.

Anthony Barr would be another one worth considering at the back end of the top 10. Otherwise, I just don't see a lot that would tempt me to move up to that spot considering what it would likely cost to get there.

That said Mack may be the guy.

Last year, and I can prove this, because I posted it on my blog, I said: IF GENO SMITH FALLS, TAKE HIM!

What would that have looked like after Aaron went down? NERD=GENIUS.

Proof that I'm smarter than Ted Thompson!

I say, trust your scouts. If you have a QB as a clear BPA, take him.

Rodgers sat for three years. He has anywhere between 5 - 8 really really good years left in him.
