If it's Bush or Young I'm looking at, I definitely sit. If it's Leinart, I'll be glad to take him in the end, after I've listened to every incoming offer.
Anyone can bust. Aside from translation of talent, it could all end with an injury. It's all dicey.

Davis would find a way to do whatever he wanted to do. I wouldn't put anything past him.

Or DeAngelo and Jay :brow:
Reese should definitely consider a good trade down.

We don't need someone's "whole draft." That wouldn't happen, and you're right, we don't need the rooks. But it's kind of tempting to think you can get two first round players especially when your number one choice, whoever that is, might be gone.
Cutler/White
Hawk/Huff
Ferguson/Cutler
D. or M.Williams/Greenway
I myself would rather stick at #3 - I'd take Leinart, too, I think.
Rather than trade down, I'd still like to trade Volek and Henry - both could go to the Vikings as well. Not the best system for Volek, but the Vikes need QB if Culpepper is traded, and they clearly need a RB as well. Not going to happen, but if I could sell the Vikings on those two for pick #17, I'd take #3 and #17 and go for Young/Leinart/Bush and then look for D.Williams/L.White/D.Ryans/M.Huff/C.Greenway/M.McNeill, etc. I'd actually take pick #49 for Volek/Henry in a heartbeat as well.
There's also a couple of Vikings players we could pick up in a trade, like Corey Chavous, or one of the WRs - Travis Taylor/Koren Robinson. I'd say Nate Burleson, but I doubt they'd give him up.
Culpepper in Oakland? How bizarre.
They are just adding to the freak show...
Randy and Dante had a tumultuous relationship at best in Minnesota.
What the hell is wrong with that guy?
He has terrible ideas...
...but if we can get #6, #17 and Minnesota's third rounder...
I better not end up wondering in three years what
life with Vince Young would be like...:hmm:

In the event that this trade did happen, check the draft out
1(6)AJ Hawk
1(17)DeAngelo Williams
2(?)Omar Jacobs
That would be an awesome draft but doubt it would happen

Update, not that this is necessarily better:
"AP reports another circulated trade rumor: QB Daunte Culpepper and the Vikings' second-round draft pick to HC Dennis Green's Cardinals for Arizona's No. 10 overall pick and S Adrian Wilson. The Vikings could also package controversial CB Fred Smoot with Culpepper in a deal, allowing them to re-sign free agent CB Brian Williams."
How about #s 10 and 17 instead? Sounds good for Cutler/White.

That trade would make more sense because Culpepper knows Denny Green's offense and did some some numbers in itGLinks said:
I don't see Leinart as a franchise player like Bush and Young. If bush and young are gone, then it would smarter to trade down for other high quality player combos like GLinks listed.
Jacobs is seriously overrated and I'm willing to bet he doesn't make an impact on ANY team in the next 5 years.

No way would the Vikings make that trade, not in a million years

I can't see any team giving up the #6 and #17 pick for the #3 pick. If Y'all think Cutler is such a great QB that Y'all would pick him in the first, don't you think they may be willing to get him and keep the other pick for theirselves, since your premise is that they need a QB so bad.
i it's safe to say the #3 will be more valuable if it's Reggie Bush

In the end, it's the player a team covets. The value chart is but a guide to that end. If a team wants a player badly enough, they'll pay to get it.
But moving on, it may not be Oakland anymore apparently. If it's the 10th and 17th picks the Vikings hold, that is only "overpaying" by 50 points according to the chart. But given that it'll be Leinart, Bush or Young we're talking about, that's really like going for #1 overall, regardless of our team's position. And teams have historically overpaid for #1 overall caliber players.
