I have been trying to get people on the Seahawks forum to trade #16 so that I can draft JPJ. No luck. Maybe Poles can do better. They wouldn’t bother with the visit if they weren’t at least thinking about it. Now what happens if the 3 WRs and Alt are off the board, and Poles LOVES JPJ after the interview and ranks him blue? If the guy is Pro Bowl center for 8 years, isn’t that blue enough? The only problem is that butkus would have a heart attack, and I’d hate to lose him.
We don’t want any casualties. We’ll have to go with someone else
The answer to our JPJ problem is to get an extra 1st round draft pick... so BIH, couldn't you "branch out" from MSU diplomas to selling MSUDP's? Basically they would be MSU draft picks... you could issue Poles a (hmmmm... ) maybe MSU #15 draft pick for this year? I'd call the Halas Hall main switchboard later today and ask if you could run this by Ryan P. Tell him we have a poster here (DavidL) who is going to throw an oldtime conniption fit if he doesn't draft JPJ. Tell him the plan and sell him a MSUDP to prevent this.

I have been trying to get hold of Poles to sell him another first round pick. I offered #3.5 to him. I even offered to throw in a small bridge in the Italian countryside. I can't get hold of him. I am trying to see if David can make the introductions so I can close this thing.

I like this article. Nothing earth shattering or even anything that we haven't already hashed out on the board, but it is a really good recap of our options.

I want whatever this guy is drinking, smoking or sticking into some crevice of his body. He says the Bears have their sights set on Harrison. Of course, he does not lay out how we are supposed to get him

OK, we are now 2 weeks away from the draft. I half expected a "blockbuster" trade to be announced by now. I know we announced our trade last year fairly early. Maybe that was an anomaly. I know teams want to move up for a QB. Most trades of course happen when on the clock because there is clarity on who is off the board, who is left, etc, but these large trade ups for teams trying to get a QB often happen before the draft has started. Of course, there are still 2 weeks to go so....
Anyone think a trade or two will happen this week? (between the 2 week and 1 week mark?

I don’t see us moving out of #1 but I could see something happening behind us. I keep wondering if we’ll try and move up from 9 using one of our 2025 picks to get one of the top three receivers.

I hope we don't move up from #9. I hope we don't move down, either. The draft will come to us and there will be a blue-chip player there (one of the big-3 receivers or maybe even Alt falls that far. I think there will be a QB-frenzy pushing a GREAT player down to us at #9 this year. Just stay put and draft that guy. Don't over-think it and mess this up. Walk away from this draft with Caleb and another blue-chip guy at #9 and be thankful for a GREAT draft year.
