Mocking my way to our 1st round pick-post combine

[JBS]

Panthers - Cam Newton
Broncos - Nick Fairley
Bills - Daquan Bowers
Bengals - Blaine Gabbert
Cardinals - Von Miller
Cowboys - Patrick Peterson (via trade with Cleveland. 3rd rd pick or 4th rd pick + 5th rd pick in 2012)

I don't think Cle would take him but it's difficult to really know.

The Panthers almost have to take Cam Newton. If they don't, they risk being stuck mired in mediocrity without a QB, since there's no guarantee they'll be the worst team next season and line themselves up for Luck, who might end up busting out like Jake Locker or tearing up his knee or something.

All of the rest make sense. Carson Palmer has made it clear he isn't playing for the Bengals anymore, so they almost have to take a QB. I can see Cleveland taking AJ Green as well, and passing on Peterson, especially since they've got a strong secondary led by Joe Haden.

Denver absolutely needs front 7 help. Fairley/Bowers/Dareus are their best bet. I can also see Buffalo taking Gabbert and leaving Cincy to pick a WR, of which I am certain they would take AJ Green. That allows them to dump Chad Johnson and TO in favor of AJ Green and Jordan Shipley as a youth movement.

I think Patrick Peterson is realistic, and we might not have to give up that much to get him.

I don't think they would either, and I'm sure they would listen to offers.

They can move down a few spots, let us have Peterson, and pick up our 9th, and still be in front of Washington for Dareus, Julio Jones, etc.

The reason I have us dealing w Cleveland is ther is 0 chance Peterson gets past SF..

Jerry + Holmgren = good friends

Clevelands likes trading down

Cleveland likely wants a WR and neither SF or Ten is going to take one.

Plus, BOTH Green and Jones are still on board

The most realistic, ideal and only way Dallas ends up with Peterson. Trading up and you probably listed the BEST CASE scenario.
