You think they would turn that trade down? I think the league would drug test our front office if we offered that....

It would be the 4th pick, Carter, and Campbell for the 1st pick, right?

They'd only do that if they thought Campbell had more future value than Bradford, in which case, they were never going to pick him to begin with, and we just screwed ourselves.

Actually the Rams may do that so that:
a) they don't have to pay the ridiculous money a QB drafted at #1 makes, and
b) if they are comfortable with JC as their starting QB and they want to focus their roster-building elsewhere, they get a their starting QB, a DE with short-term potential value, and they still have the #4 overall pick.

I'd think they'd be very willing to do that if they weren't going to take Bradford. Get a quarterback, get out of the money, and probably land the guy you were chasing anyway.

But if that's the case, we shouldn't trade up, we should be looking to land Bradford at No. 4 (which again, assumes that that's a good idea against a lot of mounting evidence).

...sigh...I know what I am about to say may not be popular...and I am having a hard time saying it...but. Lets draft an OT at 4, and at 37, and keep JC upright. His stats have gotten better every year, and now with Shanny there, who knows. Lets not forget, San Diego drafted Rivers while they had Brees, because Brees took a few years to develop. Maybe, a year with Shanny. I know its a reach, but what do you think?

Brilliant! (in the Guinness dude's voice) Oh, and welcome to the Warpath.

Besides, if we really go in the tank, we can always get Locker next year. Muaahhhhaaahhaaa...lol

I love that idea. It goes against the offseason plans executed over the last 10 years but it seems that we are in a new age.

Sounds good we have our starter from last year JC and PJ5, Sexy Rexy. Who can all very well be our Starters. If JC's not our starter I'd really love to see if PJ5 really has something.

Tuesday, March 23, 3:16 p.m.

The top prospects for Notre Dame stood on their combine numbers as offensive tackle Sam Young, center Eric Olsen and wide receiver Golden Tate participated only in position drills.
Paul Duncan, the team's third prospect on the offensive line, worked out for scouts and was impressive. Duncan measured 6-foot-6.5 and weighed 308 pounds. His 40 times ranged in the area of 5.17 seconds and Duncan pushed up 30 reps on the bench. He looked solid in position drills, displaying fluid hips and nice feet.
As mentioned earlier quarterback, Jimmy Clausen was on hand to view the workout. Clausen was seen hanging around with a contingent of people from the Washington Redskins during most of the pro-day event.

Interesting little tidbit there Cult. Thanks

Incidentally, Clausen also spent a lot of time with reps from the 49ers and Bills (who he will work out for next week)
