LOL! They actually won at Minnesota before the wheels came off.
It's early but this probably isn't the draft you want to have the #1 pick for trading purposes because there's no clear cut #1.
QB- Brady Quinn(maybe Brian Brohm if he comes out)
RB- Adrian Peterson, Marshawn Lynch(rumors he might stay are surfacing)
Wr- Calvin Johnson
Personally, I believe that Calvin Johnson is the best player in college football. With his size, speed and hands I think he'll have a Randy Moss like impact as soon as he enters the NFL.
Figures first game I watched of his he got shutout(last game they played). I only saw part of the game but saw later he never got a pass, they were doubling him all over the field.
But in highlights he sure looks "Moss-like".

Add Troy Smith to the QB list. He's better than Quinn and will be off the board before him.
He's too short to be drafted that high. The only other QB that size to go that high was Vick and while Smith is a good athlete, he's not close to Vick in terms of speed or arm strength.
NFL teams don't like short QB's.
I figure Quinn or brohm as locks for the first QB picked.
How short is Smith? Maybe it's just my Ohio State homerism. He's got a cannon for an arm, though, and is extremely accurate.
Listed at 6'1", but apparently shorter than that.
CBUS would probably know but that's been the biggest knock on him is his size. Great player at the college level for sure.
There's no way we get the #1 pick. Just never happens for us.
If we had the #1 pick, the value of the pick would drop since we couldnt bluff anyone into thinking we were taking Quinn. We'd probably get pennies on the dollar.
Yes, I have gone over to the dark side.
While it would be clear that we wouldn't be interested in, say a QB, with the number 1 pick, it would not diminish the trade value. Their would be at a lot of teams interested in trading up for a QBOF and a bidding war could very well occur.
Detroit (Kitna) and Miami (Culpepper....even if he can rehab to close to 100%, he's definitely on the downside of his career) Baltimore (McNair....see Culpepper) Minnesota (Johnson) Dallas (is Romo a legit starter?) Buffalo (Losman isn't the answer) are teams in real need of a long term solution at QB.
If Quinn can finish with a flurry, he'll get a lot of attention trust me.
This something my bro (Redrage) and I have talked about in the past. How many times have the Cards been bad, but not bad enough to snag the top pick?
Has a 1-15 team ever started the season 1-0 and then went on a 15 game losing streak?
