We don't have any chance of getting that guy at all. We already won too many games. And he may not even come out.
He's probably coming out, and there is such a thing as a trade-up.
1) The team having the #1 pick may not want to trade down. They may want to keep him.
2) If they are open to trades you will be competing against 4 or 5 other teams that "must get him."
The ransom will be real high.
We aren't getting him period. Dream on.
Most teams in the top 10 already have young quarterbacks, so the price for us to trade up is much cheaper.
Like who? Show me. Which are the Peyton Manning / Phillip Rivers / Drew Brees types picking in the top ten?
Carolina - Clausen, lol
Cincinnati - Palmer, maybe they want to start from scratch though
Detroit - Stafford, definitely would not pick Luck
Buffalo - Fitzpatrick, thinking they pass on Luck for him is wishful thinking imo
Arizona - needs a qb
San Francisco - needs a qb
Cleveland - is McCoy a franchise qb?
Dallas (tie) - Romo, they have other needs to address
Minnesota (tie) - Do they give T.Jackson the reigns?
Denver (tie) - Lord Tebow
There is tons of teams in there looking for QB's. And Cleveland and Minnesota don't pass on a QB.
Why would Cleveland not ride out McCoy???
Sure buddy. They would rather have Colt McCoy if they get a shot at Andrew Luck.
McCoy's rookie QB rating is 85.3 and as a starter he's notched consecutive wins against the Saints and Patriots. Would they really throw him totally under the bus for Luck? Keep in mind they'd be passing on basically the top player at any other position in the draft in order to saddle themselves with an enormous QB controversy.
Amen -- watch what his QB rating does when they draft AJ Green to throw to. By the way, Walterfootball is very confident that McCoy is a franchise guy for Clevelend and that they'll be taking Green.
