It's easy, and only takes a few moments.A tragic loss, with more head coaches like Mike, NE would be rolling into the Super Bowl with Larry Izzo at QB.I think most teams would want to stay out of the top 10. You get a great player 10-20 at a fraction of the cost. Then of course there is Mike Ditka.
sorry if i havent responded to some of you guys posts, but i cant post here without my posts being moderated, so my responses may not show up.
Anyways i was thinking if we had the #1 pick in the draft who would we take?
If we franchise Cassel we could then trade him to Detroit along with our 1st round pick #24 for Detroits #1 pick. We may have to add in a 2nd or 3rd but the foundation of the deal would be Cassel plus our #24 pick. Detroit may not want to pick a QB #1, they might not want to have to pay #1 pick money to anyone, they might like the idea of trading down and picking up another 1st and a proven QB in Cassel, but who knows its just an idea. We could also dangle Cassel as trade up bait plus our 1st rounder to move up to #10 pick San Francisco, that would probably be more ideal, but its fun to think of us having the #1 pick in the draft!
If we had the #1 id go with Maualuga or one of the big OT's.
I've got to ask: you do know that #1 overall is looking at approx $32 million as a signing bonus, plus another $10-12 million/year for 5-6 years? I'm not trying to make fun of you, I just want to ensure you understood the price tag for that #1 overall Safety.Hmmm. Interesting question. I guess if I had to pick a player #1, I'd probably take Taylor Mays. He and Merriweather together would be a dream.

He's just participating in a silly, very unrealistic thread. We all know the cost of drafting the #1 overall. Why don't you give it a try? Which player would you pick #1 if you couldn't trade down?
I guess it's kind of like a silly, unrealistic thread asking "which limb would you give up if you had to feed a barracuda?" The natural instinct is to look for loopholes. E.g.: pass on the pick and be prepared to jump in later, a la the Minnesota Vikings.
I think a better question is who would the Pats take at position:
#23 - Vikings (for Cassell)
#24 - Patriots
Should be able to get two good players for cheap money.
there's no way you're getting the #1 for a system qbsorry if i havent responded to some of you guys posts, but i cant post here without my posts being moderated, so my responses may not show up.

Without trying to take this thread off-topic, your post echos what I've been thinking for the last four years or so, and that is having the #1 overall pick - or a top 5 pick for that matter - hurts your team in the long run. Allow me to explain:
OK, I'll play!
#23 Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida
#24 Troy Kropog, OT, Tulane
Hmm, even I don't believe that. But heck, it's just January. I get to change my mind a couple of dozen times before April, right?
Not to call anyone out, but I've read a number of posts here and in the main forum having wet dreams over the idea of getting the #1 overall pick. If BRIZ had posted this I'd have known immediately where he was coming from. Chris hasn't posted as much on the subject, at least where I've been reading, so I'm just trying to get a handle on his thinking. Yes, the premise of this thread is silly and unrealistic, 77 admitted as much - though he should still beHe's just participating in a silly, very unrealistic thread.
