Love being here in Radio City, getting ready for the draft, and hear the Bengals are looking to trade down from number 4 pick Andy Dalton.


.........

Dalton may be gone by 10 Cincy, better act fast :cool:

Our first and second round pick would put the Cowboys above the 4th picks value by 50 points.

Cowboys 1st and 2nd round picks for Cincy's 1st and 5th.

Dont get married to the value chart.

The Browns traded 5 for 17 and a 2nd round pick. Losing out on the chart by like 400 points. If the intenet is there a deal can be made.

Plus if we are going by 2010 cap rules there is no wage scale correct?
 
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.

Amen. That high second should be a talented starter, and a cheap one.

Of course, some would be fine with going Mike Ditka for Peterson. :cool:

I agree. I wouldn't send a second rounder.

Also, without a CBA, can the teams trade future picks?
 
I don't see how any team is going to want to move into the top five unless it's a fire sale for value.

Cam Newton should not be making more than almost every QB in the league.

Yes they can

And I agree the 2nd would be the line.....unless they could get a 3rd back sort of thing
 
I just couldn't stomach losing our second. Third is the most I'd want to give up in a trade.

Best they could get is a 5th. A 3rd would carry to much value. (Cowboys 1st and 2nd for Cincy's 1st and 5th) Cincy isn't going to lose value for the 4th pick.

Cool. I wasn't sure.

Don't know about the CBA question.

Thing about if we take Peterson that we really have to be careful about.

Let's say we move up with the 3rd pick to get peterson.

You know they will probably want to trade down in the second to secure another pick.

I get that whole scary just missing a player that they like so they trade down again until we wind up taking some OT that winds up of the roster in a year or on the practice squad.

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

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 they really want Dalton, they shouldn't trade down, they should take him at 4. It will be laughed at, but Tennessee is wanting him at 8 and may move up with Cleveland to get him.
 
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."
