At this point in time a lot of players are rated lower than they will eventually go in the draft. NO, I am not specificly saying Toby Gerhart in the first with a tradeup if necessary, however I AM saying that this year might be THE year to tradeup for that one special player (if one comes up, and that's what Rick Smith decides to do.) This being the first year I have ever advocated that, but I wouldn't expect you to know that since you are so new to the board.

John and Lance were talking about how Jacksonville might be the spot to trade up to this year. If the reports are true about the Jags targeting Tebow, they should be able to trade back and still land him, so they'd probably be the team most amenable to a trade.

Though, if we were to trade up, you'd think it'd be for a player like Haden, McCoy, Berry, or some other elite defensive player that fell a bit more than they thought. With the likes of Matthews, Dwyer, and Dixon in this class, I don't see any reason to trade up for a RB.
