According to San Diego Union Tribune senior sports editor Jerry Magee, The Arizona Cardinals head coach Dennis Green, enamored with wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, is said to be championing a trade in which the Cardinals would exchange their first-round draft selection, No. 3, for the Chargers' No. 1 choice. As compensation, San Diego would receive 6-6, 372-pound offensive guard Leonard Davis.

I would be very much against this ........far too much for a move of two places and when a WR will be available at #3

This rumor has been going around for over a month. Personally, I don't believe it.

Things have changed.
Yes it would.
Essentially trading two top 5 picks on a WR lacking speed...c'mon!
There is no way this happens.

Didn't this Leonard Davis to the Chargers rumor start even before Dennis Green was named the Cards head coach? Seems like it started almost the first day the season came to an end.
If the Cards elect to trade up it better be for Eli Manning. I think he would create more excitement in Arizona than Fitzgerald.

Who's San Diego's left guard?
This article was in their Sunday paper, maybe Green feels the Cardinals can fill the guard position through free agency like adding Chris Villarreal (Bears), Vaughn Parker (Chargers) and/or Rueben Brown (Bills). His theory might be that there are options at guard to help the Cardinals. I wouldn't put it past Green to explore trading for Fitzgerald. He wanted Moss a few years ago and said he would take him if available, he told ESPN that Culpepper was the best player in the 2000 draft and he chose him and a couple of years ago he was pushing Michael Bennett and he drafted him in the first round. I doubt the Raiders pass on Fitzgerald at number 2 so he feels that he must go to 1 to get his man. We shall see, but knowing Green he usually gets his man.

I'm going to deal with this one last time. After this, if anybody argues it, I'll ignore it.
Rod Graves is calling the shots in the draft room. He has no ego and willingly defers credit. But he is tough and will not give up accountability to Dennis Green. If there is a large difference in opinion on a player, Graves wins. Bank on it.
If this is a good draft, go ahead, credit Green. He will have had a lot of influence anyway. Otherwise, why hire him? If it's a bad draft, blame Rod Graves.

Well,Graves made a horrible trade last year in the draft.Why wouldn't he do it again this year?Hopefully,Green has ALOT of influence.But trading Davis is just plain stupid.I don't care who is doing it.It makes absolutely no sense unless there's some hidden injury concern that no one knows about.

Looks like the ol' frustration meter is about maxed out.
This is so stupid, I don't even want to talk about it.

Cardinals push trade
In Arizona, Dennis Green, enamored with wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, is said to be championing a trade in which the Cardinals would exchange their first-round draft selection, No. 3, for the Chargers' No. 1 choice. As compensation, San Diego would receive 6-6, 372-pound offensive guard Leonard Davis.
Making this trade would position the San Diego club to come out of the draft with two offensive linemen, Davis and whomever Marty Schottenheimer would identify on the choice obtained from Arizona. But Davis' notices in Arizona have not been flattering.

I certainly hope this does not happen. Not for Larry Fitzgerald. I have given Graves the benefit of the doubt for last year. He said he wanted to build the belly of the team, and its too early to say he didn't. Certainly, Q makes the draft, but Pace, Johnson, Wells, King, and Hayes might all wind up as quality contributors.

Championship!!!!
It won't happen. Why morgage one of our best OL for an unproven Rookie? It will just weaken the OL instead of fxing it. Ain't gonna happen.

There aren't any quotes by anybody because its just a rumor at this point.
I don't see this trade happening either.
This whole thread should have been marked as rumor. It's nonsense.
