If we trade down in the first round, who would you like to see us get?

[johnlimburg]

i would love to trade down and get a first and two seconds but i doubt it would happen. However if we traded down with new england get there first and one of there seconds for our first i would go:

#22(from NE): OC-Maurkice Pouncey

#44(from NE): DE-Tyson Alualu

#45: ILB-Brandon Spikes

i still dont think brandon spikes will fall to the third.

I would also love to give up our 4th for OG-Rom Simms from seatle, much better than any guard in the draft appart from Mike Iupati

If we traded for Rob Sims, that means either Seth Olsen or Russ Hochstein end up as our center. I cant lie, Im not very comfy with either of them at center. Neither are natural centers and, considering our OLine play last season....Id prefer the Guards play Guard and draft a true Center.

no it wouldnt mean that russ or seth would be centres, they would be backups. We do not need to trade for Rob Simms if we sign an offer sheet, he is tendered at a 4th round level and then if you read the top of my post it says take pouncey and the line would go:

clady.....simms.....pouncey.....kuper.....harris
.....hoistein... .....olsen.....polumbus

So thats why they have been working Olsen at center? So he can be a backup guard?

We have two natural guards in Olsen and Hochstein and one natural center in Dustin Fry. Getting a center is of way more importance than a guard.

how do you know they are working seth olsen out at centre, also what dont you understand i said draft pouncey in the first and get rob simms also with the 4th. How do you know olsen is even starting material?

Because McDaniels has said he likes Olsen and because he has said in interviews that Olsen may be the center.

There is better use for a 4th rounder than to fill a position already filled.

If we traded down in the 1st it would almost certainly be for Pouncey. Who knows what we would do with the extra 2nd. I'd probably grab Cam Thomas (NT) and Damian Williams (WR) with the two 2nd's.

Demaryius Thomas is a late 1st or very early 2nd round pick. He will not last 10 picks into the 2nd round, count on it.

Out of curiosity, why do you think that?? I understand his upside...

But he hasn't shown the ability to run average routes, let alone NFL caliber routes.
Who knows how he looks in and out of breaks. And to top it off, he isn't necessarily
carrying around glue for hands.

what is a better need than getting a successful OG for a 4th round pick, just because he says something in an interview doesnt mean it is going to happen. For example when the season finished he said he was looking to use hillis more in the offense next season, that aint guna happen.

anyway there is no indication yet that olsen is starting material and i doubt josh mcdaniels will go into camp with only one option at centre and guard. Also I no it has been a whole season since last preseason and players improve alot over that time but seth olsen was terrible in my opinion
