Would this trade with GB make sense?

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.

I actually have heard (I think on NFL Network) that KGB isn't in their plans really anymore.

Still that's a lot to give up when they have a great shot at Marshawn Lynch anyway

If Quinn and/or Peterson are available at #6, we're going to have quite a few offers to consider.

[dmanley1986]

is peterson really worth that much? seems to me running backs are a dime a dozen these days.

Whatever happened to Samkon Gado? He was playing pretty well a couple years ago

[MTK]

Gado is on Houston now.

Draft is only a few days away, any specualtion is pointless, as with Snyder anything and everything is possible with all options on the table. For all we know the FO will draft Quinn.

arizona will not grab him. they need to more help at the O-line and more players on the defense. they just payed james all that money they arent going to pay all that money to 2 RB's. they arent the redskins who tie all there money into one position for us it WR's. no way they take him.

"No way" Arizona takes him? I gotta disagree. James aging and has lost a step, and they don't have a backup who could make a viable starter. I agree that they need O-line and D, but from everything I've seen, Cleveland and Arizona are the top two suitors for Peterson. Besides, it's a two back league nowadays.

I'll be surprised if Arizona takes Peterson. The Cards need O-line help after losing Leonard Davis who never really lived up to offensive tackle expectations -- plus, they'd love to have a bookend tackle to protect Matt Leinart for years to come.

You can always find suitable backup running backs later on. I'd say Joe Thomas is lock for Arizona.

Although this years draft is weak in the RB department. And are we forgetting if Detroit doesn't move out of the two spot they could take Joe Thomas? I'm not saying Peterson is a lock to go to Arizona, I'm just saying there is a chance. E.James isn't all that anymore.

It's becoming less of an assumption that the Lions will trade back -- all signs seem to point to that, they apparently have a suitor in Tampa Bay who want CJ, and they have needs everywhere, so picking up extra selections without moving that far down would be the right choice.

The Lions want Gaines Adams; they've made no bones about it, but they can still grab him if they move back to #4. Cleveland will take Peterson alongside Jamal Lewis because "it's a two-back league nowadays", and Arizona can find running back help in the 3rd or 4th round.

Mark it down. This is how it'll play out.

You're crazy. He's right, there's no way they'll take Peterson. They love them some Joe Thomas. They also would love a DE.

Why am I "crazy?" Because I think there is a chance Arizona will take Peterson? There IS a chance. Just b/c Mel Kiper's ever-changing mock draft doesn't have him penciled in doesn't mean it's not possible.

Edgerrin James is about to start his 10th season in the league, and simply isn't the player he used to be. I agree that Arizona needs help on the line both defensively and offensively. But as deep as this year's draft is for D-lineman, Arizona could get a high quality player at pick #38. They also have a pick at #69 as well.

Look, I'm not saying Peterson is going to Arizona. I'm just arguing that it's not out of the question. If Joe Thomas and Peterson are both there at 5, I agree that Thomas would be the pick. Remember, this whole thing started with me saying Peterson won't drop to the 6th pick or lower. That I believe, is a lock.

the line is what made james suck. they take thomas when he falls into their lap...especially when grimm and whisenhunt are the offensive leaders of the team. no brainer

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

I'd do that trade in a heartbeat. probably won't happen though.
