    I am happy with the 6th pick in the draft (hopefully Mcfadden, Long, Gholston or BEST CB) but I would like to see us move up from the early second round pick and into the late first round and pick up one of the quality WRs before they are gone.
    My Question is:
    What would it take to move up to a spot wherea good WR would be and who is in a position to make that trade with us?

    The WR class is fairly deep this year I thought?

    I would rather they just sit at 36.

    Those quality WRs all have 2nd rnd grades... not one expert on any TV show, website, radio etc... they are not that good to trade up for-- i'd rather sit and wait for James Hardy, Mario Manningham, or Eddie Royal at 36.

    I have been looking at the latest mock drafts and in my opinion Hardy is the Guy I would want at 36 and he looks like the last of the top tier quality 1st day WRs and it looks like he may go 3 or 4 spots before 36 if we let that happen I think we are making a big mistake

    imo i'd rather try to trade up to get another #2 somewhere in the round. The 2nd-early 3rd talent in this draft is amazing and i believe that we can pick up 2 quality starters in this round. My ideal situation would be trading out of #6 and having 3-4 picks in the #20-60 range. I feel we can maximize value if we do that and pick up some good players without dishing out all the $$$

    Moving from 6th to 1st in the second round would only cost a 5th. Of course we don't have a 5th.

    Considering the depth at the WR spot in this draft, I would not trade up for a WR. If Quentin Groves started to fall, is another story.

    Probably Hardy and he would be a great acquisition

    Malcolm kelly, Hardy, Manningham, if Devin Thomas is overlooked he'll be there too but i think he's the 1st WR off the board, even though Mayock agrees with me.

    Based on what I read about him on his Combine profile thingie, I would love it if he fell:

    Compares To: LARRY FITZGERALD-Arizona...Like Fitzgerald, Kelly takes advantage of his size and strength to break arm tackles rather than trying to get fancy with moves when trying to separate. Both have some of the best natural hands in the game, as Kelly was charted with only one dropped pass in the last two years. Perhaps due to the team's reliance on the running game, he will disappear for stretches on the field. But when he gets into that rhythm he will catch everything in site. Some teams might prefer Indiana's James Hardy, but Kelly is a more natural receiver and comes with no off-field baggage. Could be a perfect fit in Cincinnati with Carson Palmer if Cincinnati trades Chad Johnson.

    Why does anybody give a damn at all about WRs? We have two QB on this team. One can't reach them and the other can't get the ball within 10 yards of them with any accuracy at all. Who cares about WRs?

    Because without WRs, no quarterback has a purpose for passing...

    Not fair to Clemens. I clearly saw McCareins drop the game tying pass against the Ravens last year. Clemens definitely threw that ball.

    Wait for the best available WR to fall to us in the 2nd. No need in giving up more draft picks, this draft is deep.
