Would this trade with GB make sense?

Matt Williamson: (12:56 PM ET ) Peterson would obviously be a home run for GBay and they might be able to swing it with Minny. Minny's first for GB's 1, 2 and KGB would probably be plenty and that could actually make both teams better. If they stay put, GB MUST get skill position guys. Olsen would be a logical pick. A guy like Ginn would make a lot of sense, as would Lynch, who could possibly be off the board by then to Buff.

That would be an amazing deal for the Skins if we posed it instead of Minn I doubt that Minnesota and GB would make a trade like that but it wouldn't hurt either team much if we did it with GB..

A pass rusher, plus 2 picks? Are we smart enough to pursue that?

I think that is a pipe dream. GB would be giving up too much.

Yeah thinking about it from GB's perspective, I don't think that's a move they'd want to make, really. Peterson would be a good get for them, but they're more than one player away.

I agree. Not only would GB be giving too much, Adrian Peterson will not be there at 6. If Cleveland doesn't take him, Arizona will. Of course this whole thing is total speculation, as are all of these possible scenarios we discuss, but this one I don't think has a snowball's chance in hell of happening.

I would be very happy with that from a personnel standpoint.

But whenever you talk about acquiring a veteran player, you have to ask what the salary cap hit is. I've got no idea what KGB is scheduled to make this season, but chances are we'd be in a cap conundrum since we only have about $4 - $5 million in space right now. Of course, acquiring KGB could mean that Wynn becomes expendable, and we could generate enough savings by cutting him.

All depends on what KGB makes.

Why would GB give up all that just to move up to take Peterson?? They would have to be on crack to make that move.

I agree.

And do we really need another situational pass rusher to replace our highly paid situational pass rusher on pass rushing downs? Pa-lease. If we want to improve our pass rush we should try to do it from the interior DL.

I agree with this post. We need interior linemen.

Although, I don't think GB would be stupid to make this deal. Peterson could be an exceptional player, and maybe GB is willing to take a chance to find out. However, I do think that drafting RBs is a crapshoot, and better RBs could be found in later rounds (possibly).

(and I do believe AP will still be there at #6)

Rajmahal33 · 04-23-2007, 01:42 PM

This trade would be phenomenal. In fact, i think it would still be good even if they didn't offer the 3rd rounder. But we may be able to get better come draft day

jsarno · 04-23-2007, 02:04 PM

The trade would be an absolute no brainer for us. In terms of cap, like Schneed pointed out, it could pose a problem, but I'm sure we could dump some dead weight to make room.
We're looking to get an impact defensive lineman player...DE or DL, and getting KGB would mean we have that impact player and get some later round picks...wow what a deal for us. But that would mean GB being amazingly stupid. I just don't see it happening.

why would the pack do this? anyone have any idea who their starting running back is right now?

The reason would be they're in DIRE need of a RB this year.

Their backfield consists of Vernand Morency, Noah Herron, Arliss Beach, Brandon Miree, and PJ Pope.

LOL, that's really ugly. But I think they're much more likely to see if Marshawn Lynch drops to them.

skinsfan_nn · 04-23-2007, 02:22 PM

This does not make sense, from a GB stand point at all. And no, dmek I don't even think they know?

Beemnseven · 04-23-2007, 02:28 PM

Have the Packers ever mentioned the possibility of giving up KGB? Good pass rushers are so hard to come by, I can't imagine Green Bay tossing him in there -- unless there's been frustrations from either side made public.

Until I see something officially from the the Pack, this is fantasyland-delusional fan-speak. Coming from a Packers fan no less.

Not a chance.
