Bengals looking to trade down and take Dalton?

I've said it countless times

Trading up for Peterson is the most exciting scenario for us fans tonight..it is not in the best interest of this team come Sundays this fall..

Unless somehow someway we can nab one of the top 5 OTs by climbing back into rd 1 by using next years picks..but that is a hell of a price for 2 players..

Say 1+3 for Peterson
And 2nd and 2nd (2012) for Carimi/Sherrod/Solder

I am fine with it. But then again, I am sort of a gushing groupie by now.

I tell the whole OT issue really scares me.

Especially how they have not done a good job of getting a quality OL player in the 2nd rounds or lower with the exception of Free.

NOW, if they already have a play of OT in FA (and FA is in flux right now) that they are SURE they will get...in other words the ground work is kind of laid out already under the table.

That would be different.

Oh...man alive I am both excited, worried and ready for this thing to get going.

Or move back up into the 1st again and get a 1st round OL in addition to Peterson

Then next year you worry about the budding needs like ILB, G, and DE

If you take peterson and give up a 3rd...or the stop the breaks scenario of a 2nd round pick given up.

What ammo do you have to move back up into the first...Next years 1st and some more?

As of right now folks there is no 2012 Draft. Teams can trade future picks but it is caveat emptor. That means "let the buyer beware."

That's kinda of what I was thinking. Will anyone really roll the dice on something like that?

Well other than the Commanders and Raiders?

But youre talking about filling the two largest gaping holes(giggidy) in 1 draft w/ studs. And you can probably find a starting caliber guard in the 4th this year.

If you tried to sign a Patrick Peterson in FA it would cost you $100M. Youd be getting him for a 3rd

Youd be trading 40 for something like 25. Wouldnt be a killer to get one of the last of the top tier tackles.
 
No way is PP worth a swap for our 1st and second. We do that we are cooked again.

I'm hoping Garrett will influence Jerry that we need meat and potatoes. Like BrainPaint said I have NO confidence that we can draft a 3rd round, out of shape OT, like Carpenter, etc. and make them into a player.

I am ok with swapping 1st round picks and giving up a 3rd.

But when we start talking about trading our 2nd round pick is where I put the breaks on.

I'm with you, Brain. There's no player in the draft I'd give up the second round to move up for. However, we could swap our #40 for something a little lower in round 2 if the team in question can position itself with another 2nd to swap.

I want to come out of the first two nights/rounds with at least two players, if not 3. I definitely don't see anyone worth coming out of the first two days with only one player.

I'm all for moving up for PP if we got a tackle too...otherwise I am very worried about doing it
