2012: Trade it all for the #1 pick(Probably Luck), even 2013 picks if needed?

[Chicken Fried]

We probably can't afford to do that. What about Barkley and Landry Jones? All it takes is one bad injury and Andrew Luck won't be the same. It's risky to mortgage so much on a "sure thing." Look at Ricky Williams.

Swap 1st round picks and throw in a 3rd and JC's 4th to move up in the draft to get "our" guy, I'm okay with. Giving up the entire draft, no thanks.

In hindsight, would you have traded all these guys (our 1998 draft class) for Peyton Manning:
Brian Simmons (Taken by Bengals via Redskins pick)
Stephen Alexander
Skip Hicks
Shawn Barber
Mark Fischer
Pat Palmer
David Terrell
Antwaune Ponds


IF Shanahan believes Luck is the next Peyton Manning, I would be pissed if they weren't willing to offer most, if not the entire, 2012 draft. As for the 2012 AND 2013 drafts, I say absolutely no.

[Champskins]

Why is this a thread!? We know we are not getting Luck.... Lets talk about Robert Griffin III... Any team willing to trade all of those picks and we'd have to change our name to the Raiders! Ok, ill humor you, lets trade away all of the draft, put Luck in there with mediocre talent surrounding him and he eventually is a scared puppy like Ramsey, Campbell, Brunell, etc.... BRILLIANT!

Yes we need a solid OL to put the new QB behind and we have a good start with the current OL right now. But getting the right QB is the priority at this point and time. Rex Grossman isn't winning us any championships and do we really want to neglect QB again this draft and rely on John Beck or some late round project?

I don't. I'm tired of seeing other teams win with good QBs.

I'm being patient with this team and I like our defense and the direction we're headed but 2012 draft is the time to make a move for a franchise QB for this team.
.

I actually think they purposely neglected addressing QB in this year's draft - looking forward to 2012, where the QB stock will be much better. Otherwise i agree with everything you're saying.

[Fred Jones]

Two thoughts:

1. Franchise QB's are the only ones to shell out multiple draft picks for or two first rounders.

2. The team with the first pick is not going to give up the ability to draft Luck so it is a mute point.

And, I do agree that Rex is not the long term answer and we still need to find our franchise QB. Rex is a good stopgap.

Wow, back to this retarded **** again??
you people never change.

[GibbsFactor]

I would have gone as far as trading all of 2011 picks to get more ammo in 2012 to make sure we had enough to trade up.

Now we have Rex Grossman and John Beck. Some are even content with that. Albert Einstein would call most of you insane.

Ay, whatchu mean you people?!

[Audible_Red40]

No. This team has so many needs you don't give them way. There will be other QBs in this draft.

[jivelikenice]

We don't need to trade all of our picks for Luck. We can trade less to move up for Barkley and still build a team around him.

[Taylorfan2179]

As much as I hate to say it, no we can't trade everything for luck. Too much can go wrong with that. as for Barkley. USC offensive players generally suck. The exception being carson palmer, kinda.

[Painkiller]

Who cares, we are 2-1 plenty of games left in 2011.

or Fred Davis?

[darrelgreenie]

My poll question: Would you trade all your picks and even 2013 picks if need for the #1 pick?
