EDIT: Here are the positions:

[ninjapirate]

if I remember correctly from looking at the thread, we are understaffed. I don't think we have enough people to even fill out every "job".

I guess I can be the Head Coach and something else if need be.

Although it would probably just be easier for everyone to do everything and for all of us to discuss it before making any decisions.

[Packerraymond]

The Packers are looking to trade down from the 5th spot if you have any interest in moving up here PM me or make a post in our War Room.

I'll take the Assistant GM spot, but I think we're best off discussing with each other before doing anything major.

I went to the Packers board to show some preliminary interest in the 5th pick, just in case we decide that is a direction we want to go in and they are already on page 7 in their thread.


I think we should pick up the activity here a bit.


Maybe go to other teams forums and talk about trading up and down, nothing definite just to get some talks going.

[Packerraymond]

We do have interest in trading down with the Eagles, if you decide to go in that direction talk to us first.

I think we should consider the trade up to 5th although I think it might be smart and try to work something for the 4th pick first and the 5th as a second option.


I don't really think we should talk about trading down to teams just yet. We still have no idea what could drop to us at 14 and should only really entertain trading down during the actual drafing part.

I'm not sure what the Packers will want for the 5th, But I say a pick and Hood would almost certainly do it.


They raises the question how valuable is Hood to us? Do we want to trade him? If we do would his value make the pick we give up a lower one?

I'll go and try to start some talks with the Jets. Ferguson and Williams could both be there and the jets could be looking to move out.

[Iggles]

I agree ninja. We should try to work out something for the fourth pick as well, but right now the fifth pick would be great for us. As I see it, Bush, Leinart, and Young are a lock for the top 3. After that it's likely D'Brick goes to the Jets, but if it's possible, I'd like for us to get D'Brick. However, if Ferguson is off the board, we can still get Mario Williams at 5. I think our first, a fourth or third rounder, and Rod Hood should do it. As for Rod Hood, he's very good, but we have Matt Ware and can find a corner later in the draft. I think we shoudl definitely consider moving up to 5 or 4.

First, I'd like to keep Rod Hood if we could. But, if we could trade him instead of our second round pick, then I'm all for it.

Second, if we're going to trade up to 4th or 5th overall, I think it should be for AJ Hawk or Mario Williams. As amazing as D'Brickashaw Ferguson is, he is strictly a LT. We already have our LT for next year (Tra Thomas). We need a RT, and D'Brickashaw can't play RT, making him useless for us his rookie season. We need to use the money we have on players who can help us now. Keep in mind, though the 4th overall pick will give us a good player, it will also give us a HUGE contract. If we're going to invest that much in a player, it should be for someone who can help us right away.

Mario Williams and AJ Hawk would both be huge upgrades to our defense, and they could start right away. I would prefer Mario over Hawk, but I'd be happy either way.

Phreak, you make a very good point. I definitely would prefer the 5th pick, because the contract would be far cheaper. I agree that Mario Williams would be the pick as well. He has the size to dominate. However, I think Haloti Ngata might be worth the fifth overall pick as well.

I know he have thomas next year, but I think Ferguson is the best player in the draft and if you can get him a franchise LT you have to do it.

I don't think we should even consider Hawk. He is a weakside linebacker and we just drafted McCoy last year. Everyone in the know seems to be in love with McCoy and they want him to possibly start at weakside this year. I don't think we give up on him just yet, although Hawk is a great player.

Also I'm afraid if we put all our eggs in one basket going to the 5th pick for Mario. A team could just one up as at 4 and take him there. Although that would leave us with possibly Ferguson which I'm obviously not against.

As for Ngata, he doesn't even fit our scheme I don't see why we would want him.

[Packerraymond]

YOu guys have been pondering about the 5th pick, to get it I would like a first and second and either a mid rounder or a young defensive player to improve our defense.

Note: The 2nd could move down depending on the quality of the player.

The price of Abe will not be set until we establish whether or not you are interested.
