Blessing in disguise?

Ive been thinking and Bradford deciding to stay in school could work out in our benifit. IMO and hopefully Detroits, Stafford isnt really worthy of the #1 pick. Im thinking they likely go with the safer pick Andre Smith Alabama with the first pick. Stafford will be gone by the time they pick again at #20. The next best QB is Mark Sanchez. After him there is a big drop off in talent which shoud make his stock go up a little.

If he (MS) is still there (likely) at 15 Detroit may consider a trade up to secure getting him considering there are 2 teams (Jets and Bears) ahead of them that could be looking for a QB themselves.

Another possibility is Minnisota wanting to jump in front of all 3 of those teams and getting Sanchez themselves. Either way because of all the potential first rounders deciding not to declare, trading down is looking like best way to go. Because the talent level is so even from the middle of the first till late second this may be our only hope of a trade down.

According to the DVC our pick #15 is worth 1050 points. Therefor a tradedown with Detroit should net us #20 1st round (850) & #83 3rd round (175)

This would make our draft look like this.

20 1st
47 2nd
78 3rd
83 3rd (maybe Luigs or Caldwell)
with the rest being the same.

A tradedown with Minny should net us #22 (780) & #54 (360) for a total of 1140 points. We may have to throw in our 4th to even out the points but IMO it would be well worth it.

That would make our draft look like this.
22 1st
47 2nd
54 2nd maybe (Juaquin Iglesias, Clay Mathews or Darius Butler)
78 3rd
Basically we would be getting an extra 2nd for our 4th rounder & moving down 7 spots.

Anyway, unless someone like Raji miraculously falls to us, this is what Im hoping for. Seems like there might be a chance.
