Giants looking to trade up? (to 1st)

The Chargers have been in love with Robert Gallery from day one... if they rade down to 4... it will be becaue they know they can still get the top guy on their board.

This deal makes plenty of sense .... Giants want Manning, Chargers want Gallery. Fitzgerald is a family friend of Denny Green, so Arizona is the place for him.... the only question left is the Raiders who could go in ANY direction...

I think the Raiders might go with Roy Williams. He's the best receiver coming out this year, in my opinion. He beat Fitzgerald in every single category at the workout he had the other day. Vert, Long Jump, 40 time, everything. Not to mention this kid has been catching everything for 4 years.

But the Raiders could go with Gallery too, who knows!

Folks:

At least 10 teams want Gallery; there is a huge market for him out there. He was involved in more trade rumors and draft day shennanigans during the Florida meetings than any three other players combined. One of the teams "interested" in Gallery but not drooling over him is:



The Washington Redskins.


Ol' Boss Hog himself is very impressed...

I dont think it would be a big deal for the next year or two, but in a few years, does anyone really wanna see a Manning in the NFC East?

Not sure. The reports I have seen seem to indicate that he doesn't have his brother's football intelligence. Although considered the "safest" of the three QB's, I am not convinced he is the sure thing that some think he is. Maybe I am dead wrong and he is the next Hall of Fame QB, BUT - If someone can rob the Giants blind in their bid for him, well then bid away.

On the other hand, this may be a reason to trade to No.1 and then hold an Eli auction, open to anyone but the Giants.

Also, if we stay put and if Gallery is still on the board at 5 - then the gallery is open for a Gallery auction. Everybody wants him and everybody will pay!

By the way, as for all this draft speculation, didn't I ask for some aspirin before? I think I need extra-strength.

Are there any permutations we haven't considered?? How about Darrell Green: We just trade his "nice guy factor". Some other team can claim he is a real [fill in team name] guy and always has been - Hell, that ought to be worth a couple of first rounders right there!!

Wow, if we have Gallery fall to us at 5, we just gained a shitload of leverage. Seriously. Teams would give up a lot for Gallery. And we could still land Taylor or Winslow.

That would be interesting, but I don't see gallery making it past #4, san diego if they play thier card's right could walk away with a lot of draft pick's, a trade down to the #4 spot should net them a #2 and one more pick, and a trade down from the #4 spot should bring a lot more, they could double up on thier draft pick's, and in a draft as deep as this one they could rebuild that team in 1 year, if they evaluate properly.

I really believe that if this Bolts-Giants traded goes through, then Gallery will be available at number 5. There is a chance that he'll go to Norvil at #2 over Roy Williams. But if the Raiders do go receiver, the Chargers will pick Roethlisberger, not Gallery. Nor do I think they will trade the pick.

There are a few reasons I think SD is the logical choice for Roethlisberger...

1. They get an elite college QB without the spotlight and pressure of the number one pick (AKA the Leaf-Vick Skirt-Wearing Effect Effect).

2. I keep reading that Schotty (especially) and GM AJ Smith are drooling over Ben while trying to maintain a straight face (AKA the Drunk Frat Boy Who Wants to Date Your Sister Effect).

3. Man-O-Man, do the Bolts need a QB. Flutie re-signed for "three years" (AKA the "Extra Strength" Brunell Anti-Aging Effect), but, well, that's about it. If that's how they're planning on going into the season, with freakin' Methuselah at QB, well, I wouldn't be getting too comfy in my SD digs if I were Marty or Smith. I'd be looking at planned communities with a golf course. Preferably someplace with a dry heat.

If the trade doesn't go through, I think the Giants will draft Roethlisberger and Gallery will fall to us anyway . The writing's on the wall for Collings. The Giants won't even broach the subject of an extension with him.

If we do get Gallery, then we could trade the number 5 and our fifth rounder (#139) to Cleveland for their number 7 and their third rounder pick, number 68 overall. Those trade values are pretty fair, with us coming out slightly ahead (AKA the A-Fair-Trade-Is-When-Each-Party-Thinks-They-Screwed-The-Other-Guy Effect).

If we do end up with the seventh pick and me having no clue what the Lions are inclined to do, I can only think of one thing that would come to mind:

DAMN YOU POSTONS!!!!!! :cussing:

Or maybe, just maybe, "Hello Mr. Taylor!" :thumb:

Normally, I agree that bad teams (Chargers are a bad team) need to consider trading down to get multiple picks. But if I count correctly, they already have 10 picks in this draft so I'm not sure that amassing more picks this year would be the way they want to go.

If the Raiders want Roy Williams they are going to trade down as well. Only further confusing the trade possabilties
