Brandon Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Such a trade could normally be expected to cost at least a 2nd round pick.

Gotta Dream Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2007mockdraft6.0.htm This is the first time I have seen this move put down in a mock. What would this cost us in picks? No way, if AP gets past Cleveland, who is going to need him? Take the chance and just wait, if he's there, take him. If not, LB.
Peter Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 No way, if AP gets past Cleveland, who is going to need him? Take the chance and just wait, if he's there, take him. If not, LB. I think that you are mostly correct. If Cleveland does not take AP, the question becomes whether Russell is still on the board for the Vikings. If JR is not available, the Vikings may take AP. Otherwise, AP could slip down to 12 -- unless, of course, another team behind us trades up to get AP.

Yard Monkey Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Draft pick value chart: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft06/news/story?id=2410670 Redskins would probably demand the Bills 2nd rnd choice to make that swap. How about a 3rd from this year and a 3rd from next year?

They would probably jump on Peterson as well.
DB-94 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Posted April 19, 2007 How about a 3rd from this year and a 3rd from next year? Swap Plus both our 3rd rounders this year #6 pick = 1600 pts #12 + #74 + #92 = 1552 pts Still not enough and if we have to give up more is it really worth it?
Peter Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Don't forget about the Texans. They would probably jump on Peterson as well. Now that I think about it, the Texans would be another team that we may have to worry about. This is especially so after they passed on Young last year. As I recall, AP is from Texas. Yet, didn't the Texans pick up Ahman Green this off season?
Peter Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Who? This is who: Vikings, Falcons, Texans. Regarding the Falcons, I could see BP picking Okoye, his former player from Louisville, which is where PFT has Okoye going. If they do not chose Okoye and AP is still available when the Falcons pick, you might be right. This whole thing is such a crap shoot.
In space no one can hear Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Such a trade could normally be expected to cost at least a 2nd round pick. I would do that in a heartbeat!! Peterson would have a huge positive impact on our franchise IMHO. I think this move would be the turning point we are looking for....... to a winning team......
Cornerville Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 This site will surely crash if this all goes down
Ennjay Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 What would this cost us in picks? How about we throw in London Fletcher-Baker and Troy Vincent? Oh wait . . .
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Personally, I wouldn't trade up for Peterson...you give up too much. Then again, if it happens and it works, who the hell cares
H2o Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Now that I think about it, the Texans would be another team that we may have to worry about. This is especially so after they passed on Young last year. As I recall, AP is from Texas. Yet, didn't the Texans pick up Ahman Green this off season? Yes, the Texans did pick up Ahman Green this offseason. But they passed on Reggie Bush, 1st and foremost last year, along with Vince Young. If Peterson falls into their lap I don't expect them to make the same mistake twice, by that I mean passing on a "franchise" RB. Plus Green is 30 now, has battled injuries the past few seasons, and isn't the Green of old anymore. His speed, quickness, and agility have all fallen off to a certain extent. They would take Peterson within 30 seconds of being on the clock.
tennesseeboy Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 I can't see it. We are gauranteed a blue chipper at 12-whichever of Okoye, Peterson or Willis slips to us. Why give up a second or even a third to get one over the other? I say wait and grab one of the three.
