I am always against trading multiple 1st round picks for one player unless it is a franchise QB and only if you can't get one elsewhere. Even then I would be very reluctant to pull the trigger.

Well said.

Don't understand all the love for Manningham with the 1st pick. Doucet will be a better Pro.

Those against a trade up for McFadden have to weigh the risk Vs. Reward. What if he turns out to be Tony Dorsett or Eric Dickerson?

If we signed a CB in free agency, resigned Hamlin and traded for Roy WIlliams then I would be thrilled with McFadden

We already have Earl Campbell.

[Bob Sacamano]

Mel Kiper has us taking Manningham, and Rashard Mendenhall

[ThreeSportStar80]

I don't like either of those picks... CB and RB should be the first two picks.

I thought I have heard Wade say he would never draft a wr in the first, and though Jerry is in charge of the draft I tend to think he would listen to his head coach. For some reason Felix Jones makes me nervous.

I really like Jones but you know, and maybe it's just me, but I just can't see spending a 1st rd pick on a back up RB. Not that he's not talented because I think he is but I don't think I'd spend a 1st rd pick on a back up RB.

I guess in our system, he wouldn't necessarily be a backup but part of a "committee".

I'm still high on Felix, but less so w/ all the CJ talk the last couple of days.

Well, you could say that but even still, I would not be in favor of spending a 1st Rd pick on a back who was not a feature back, per say. This is why I'm not in favor of trading up for McFadden. McFadden would simply be a part of a two back approach. To me, it's just not worth the price you would have to pay. Now, if we were moving up to get a back that had special skills and was going to be our feature guy, then maybe I could see that. Unless our plan is to move MB, and take a guy who is going to carry the load for us, I am not in favor of taking a back this early. Just to many guys that are good that can be had in the later rounds IMO.

As the draft plays out if we could assume we could get McKelvin, Talib or Reggie Smith at 28, then I wouldn't mind taking a WR at 22 if that WR is DeSean Jackson. I just believe Jackson will turn into a player like a Devin Hester. However, I wouldn't complain at all if we can get McKelvin at 22

I think a better comparison would be Ted Ginn. I'm not crazy about either one, I think their frames are too small to be truly effective in the NFL.
