Thread: Picks #17, 48, 83, & 114 get us to Pick 6. Want to do it?

yeah, i'd take Hawk

Nope not interested in the slightest. Trading four picks like that to move up is not a good move IMO. I'd rather we settled for one of the so-called second tier QBs in the second round and used our first round pick to get a solid player.
We can still pick up a good LB at #17 and get some depth in rounds 3 & 4 without trying to get at the #6 spot.

Yah

Future QB

THe more I think about it I think it is a stupid idea.

Nope. The this Draft is WAAAAY to deep at many positions we need to trade up this year. Maybe next year we can trade up out of the 32nd slot.

~ I like the sound of that :banana:

Take a risk and do it. The Vikings have never made a big impact on the NFL Draft (except by giving teams behind them their picks), and this would be huge. With the depth the Vikings have already I don't see why they should not trade up to get Hawk OR Cutler (no Young though). Like you said, they would still have a second and third anyway, so they really aren't giving up too much. They can not pass up potential superstars to draft more E.J. Hendersons and Marcus Johnsons or special teamers. PULL THE TRIGGER!!!

Couldn't agree more. The past couple of years our 2nd and 3rd rounders have been linebackers that have turned out to be pretty weak (EJ, Dontarrious, Raonell Smith). I don't want another one of those, I want a maniac like AJ Hawk who could anchor our defense for years to come. Look what Urlacher did for the Bears D. There D has never been the same since he arrived. Hawk is that type of player.

They have been weak cuz of the coaching..

And EJ is emerging and DT seems to be on his way

A.J. Hawk. I am in favor because we would still have a 1st rounder, a second, and a third. Any other year I would obviously say no.
