The Texans said they're open to trading the #1 pick in the draft.
A) Would you try to trade up into that spot?
B) If so, how much would you be willing to give up?
Considering there are 6 teams ahead of the Vikes who might take a QB with their first picks, it might not be a bad idea to try to trade up. I'd probably give up two 1st round picks, a 2nd and a 3rd.
Honestly rather chance it at #8 and see what we get. Don't want the team ending up on the bad end of a Herschel Walker/RGIII type trade only to end up drafting a bust at #1
well we have two fears in drafting a QB, right...
1. trading up to draft a ready QB in bridgewater (im a believer), giving up a shytload and getting a bust
2. reaching at #8 on some christian ponder shyt and being set back
i think any QB available at #8 will be a developmental project, i don't know if we have that much time to give
I'm okay with moving up but 2 1sts and 2nd and a 3rd seems steep (but value wise, is fair). I wish we could have gotten something for Jared Allen some time ago, but I guess that makes no sense thinking about it now.
we should either draft the best available talent (probably LB) or move up to draft bridgewater
