'08 Draft- McFadden gone - and your next pick is???

[hendog]

Let's say that the Brownies some how don't go 0-16 (yeah right ) and we are unable to draft Run DMC. Let's say we have the 2nd pick and we can't trade down. Who's your pick?

I love me some Desean Jackson in a trade down but in this scenario I have to pick Calais Campbell. Even though it's not a need I don't know how you pass him up. I take him over Jake Long.

Can we make up our own variables here? If so, I'm gonna say that Spears, Canty, Hatcher and Co. step it up big time this year and DE is no longer an area that needs to be adressed. Sooo...I'm taking DeSean Jackson.

Then I'd sit back and scratch my head on how the Browns go 0-16 and we only ended up with the #2 pick.

[Bob Sacamano]

depends for me, depends on how Julius does, cuz if he doesn't do so well and we let him leave as a FA, I would want Steve Slaton, that's another maybe, because he's only a Junior, then Mario Manningham

I want Steve Slaton and DeSean Jackson.

If McFadden went #1 overall, and the Cowboys had the second overall pick, its possible that they could drop back and acquire both of these guys.

Unlikely, but possible.

There's no way a team can't trade down from the 2nd pick. Especially in this draft. If McFadden goes #1 (which I think won't happen even if we get the pick), someone will want Brian Brohm or possibly Andre Woodson. Because we'll probably be in a unique position (top 5 pick, and in the playoffs), we don't have to follow the draft value chart. We can drop from #2 if that's were we are to #10 for a 2nd and 1rst next year, which is far less than equal value and take Steve Stanton, and maybe be better off.

Not that unlikely especially if there is another team (other than the patriots who want the 2nd and 32nd picks in exchange for say 8, and 12 or so. those numbers add up right because the #2 pick is so valuable.

If the other variables add up we could get two top 15 picks

I can stop here.....found the best answert.....good job!

I don't really care which position it is, but I want him to have a special quality and a gamechanger of some sort. You don't get to draft Top 10 talent too often, so take a difference maker of some kind with it. Don't waste a Top 10 draft pick by "plugging holes" at a certain position. There are other means of plugging holes.

Ditto.

And with two of our playmakers on offense getting up there in age (Owens and Glenn), I'd like it to be on offense.

WR...RB....don't care. Someone who defenses have to game plan around.

[parchy]

At this point I'm looking at DeSean Jackson or Early Doucet. I want a burner.

[Bizwah]

I don't want a 166 pound WR in round one.

we already played this game not long ago.

Free agent losses and gains will impact the draft stragedy once again so it's hard to say. Not sure of who, but going either WR or CB seems logical considering it's 10 months before the draft.

[Cajuncowboy]

If we have the second over all pick and can't trade down, then the draft is real shallow on talent at the top or it is so deep that you can get someone of equal value later. Either way we are messed up.

On one hand we have to pay #2 money for someone who is as good as say the #6 or #7 guy or the guy we take at #2 isn't worth #2 money.

I don't like your scenario.

Either way, If we don't get McFadden, I want an elite WR in the Michael Irvin mode.

Then again, even if we do get McFadden, I would still look for a top WR with that second first round pick.
