Which Scenario Would you Prefer?

[Midswat]

Here are three draft day scenarios:

A. The first, if Patrick Peterson is available at 6, we're going to trade up and get him. Likely giving up at least a third.

B. The second, we stay pat at #9 and select Tyron Smith.

C. The third, we trade down into the teens and select the highest rated OT. Likely gaining at least a third.


Which one appeals to you the most?

How about trade down AND take Smith?

How about trade down AND take Smith?

Doubt that's possible.

He's rising, and many teams need a OT, including Washington and Detroit who pick right behind us.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

If we do trade down, I'd be more than fine drafting Anthony Costanzo. We'd probably have to trade down and still be in front of Detroit though if we still plan to land him.

But my heart is set on taking Tyrone.

How about trade down AND take Smith?

Won't be possible.

If we trade down we might as well give up on the idea of getting Smith and just go either Pouncey or Castonzo.

I think we should stay where we're at and take the best of the bunch, which seems to be Smith at this point. F trying to get tricky and playing ourselves out of the guy on top of our board.

You know how much I want Smith but if Peterson is attainable at a reasonable rate, you get him. He's a game-changing defender.

sbk rant in 1, 2, 3.....

Wow. From you of all people.

Lets just say if we land Peterson, I'm not going to consider the draft a waste.

But I'm on the Tyron bandwagon.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

If I were sure of the rest of the defense, I would really want Peterson. I just think he would be a waste to give up picks for in a trade-up.

I'm perfectly happy with Tyron at 9. I used to think we could trade down to 11 or 12 and still get him but I no longer think he'll last that long. I just think Peterson can be Charles Woodson special.

 

[Bonecrusher#31]

Damn it ! I meant to choose Peterson !!!!!

Tyron Smith >>>> Doug Free

I don't think Peterson would have made this defense any better had he been here last year.

He's the exact opposite of a game changing defender. He's a cornerback.

It took Charles Woodson 9 years to reach that level though.

 

[sbk92]

It also took Woodson Clay Matthews and Dom Capers to make him a member of a championship defense.

Peterson adds nothing here. He's seasoning. It'd be like shaking salt on an empty plate.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

C-Wood reached his peak before Matthews and Capers arrived. Fact still remains that it took him awhile to take over games.

I don't want to wait 7-9 years for that.

And his peak did exactly jack and squat for the Packers' defense.

Exactly my point. Cornerbacks aren't game changers.

 

[sbk92]

Except for Deion Sanders. A true freak of nature.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Idk, man. Not many defenders average 8.6 turnovers a season (Woodson's production '07-'10). And score 9 TDs.

 

[sbk92]

The Packers' defense was a joke until Capers and Clay Matthews arrived.

I've seen too much of Peterson to agree.

I dont think he's a shutdown CB, nor do I even think he's a CB longterm in the NFL.

I'd take Smith over him and not think twice about it. RT is by far the worst position on the team, and OL is the worst unit on the team. Fix the pass rush, and CB is definitely not an issue IMO.
