Thread: Stay Put, Trade Up, Trade Down

Facts and Logic?

That's like asking asking what is better Strawberry ice creme or Chocolate ice creme and please proove why you are right.

If I thought we were one player away from being great I would say trade up, I think there are a lot of areas we can improve on or are thin at so this season I would hope we get as many picks as possible.

What they do with them I do not care, its Chilly's system let him choose because if he doesn't improve this season I see little hope in his future here.

And at the end of next season we're going to fight about how much improvement is deemed necessary to have hope in his future here.

Much of it of course will depend on the actually play on the field, and how the games are lost/won. Even if many will probably disregard that aspect of a debate and solely focus on final record, or individual performances.

Be Polite..... or be only a lurker.

My opinion:

That's true and everyone will have have their own meter for improvement.

I expect a playoff berth even if it is a wildcard, that is just me.

As Madden on the Xbox 360 is a complete nightmare, no, I haven't played it too much.

Personally, I don't see the Vikes staying put unless they feel certain someone they want is going to land in their laps @ #7.
I believe they'll either trade up (only in order to try to grab CJ, though) or, and this is the MOST likely scenario, they'll trade down in order to get more picks.

Looking at the chart of pick values i don't see any way the vikes can move up to get calvin johnson.
Moving into the late first round for a 2nd and 3rd round pick seems to make a lot of sense for a rebuilding team.

If it were me i would probably decide to trade all the picks for michael vick.

LMAO, quite the first post.
Here is my response as I read each line:

Wow, a newb who seems to have a head on his shoulders.
Another Purplexing?

Very true.
This guy seems to get it.

"If it were me i would probably decide to trade all the picks for michael vick. "
