I thought maybe Atlanta But any opinions ???
something like...give them back their pick for Patrick Willis?
I think Tully Banta-Cain would be a serviceable linebacker here. Tremendous upside.
If we can't get Matt Chatham back, that is a decent plan.

I know a plan where we can get both: We trade the pick to the Niners for Banta-Cain and the Jets (?) for Chatham. The Jets and Niners will work out a time-share where they jointly decide on the pick, and the drafted player plays 8 games for each team. He can only be traded with consent from both teams.

Give me Beisel or give me death...
A semi-serious scenario would be to trade the pick for Suggs. Suggs is an UFA who will likely get franchised. If the Ravens franchise him we could trade the pick contingent on a long-term contract being signed.
Suggs is a probowl player in his prime (25 years old I believe), he will cost less than the #2 overall draft pick.
How about trading the pick to Miami for jason taylor

How about the #2 overall pick for Dallas's two 1st round picks and Bobby Carpenter.
No one said it had to be a veteran line backer who has played right?
That just shows how out of whack the rookie salaries are. Doesn't show that Suggs is a bargain.
Technically you could sign any FA to a long term deal and not have to give up any picks.
This is a pretty funny thread - I realize most folks aren't serious here... but indeed the type of LB we to make an immediate impact probably isn't going to be found late in the 1st round, let alone the 2nd or 3rd.
There's guys there that can develop into great players - but any rookie, short of the very creme of the crop, won't be able to step in and make a major impact.
Trading for a veteran LB could make sense - but BB has struck out with veterans in the past as well - so nothing is certain there either.
Although I'm not sure of the mechanics of the trade, trading out of #2 to draft a solid LB mid to late 1st round to develop - ALONG with a trade of a fresher legged veteran, would be ideal. I'll leave the details of making that happen to someone else.
