Quote:That logic makes sense.  It'd be the same reason we would grab Cooper at our pick.

 

Gurley or Gordon does make sense at 11 if they trade AP.  It's sounding like they are asking too much though, but hard to say.

 

   My hunch is the Jaguars would prefer to address the front 7 on Defense with the pick # 3 draft resource.   Yet,  if Amari Cooper or Kevin White is ranked on a higher cluster than any of the Front 7 candidates that are available with pick # 3 and the Jags don't receive a trade down offer they like,  I think Cooper or White will be the pick.   Having said that,  I believe the Jaguars brass rates Allen Robinson higher than the Vikings rate any WR on their roster.   Providing of course that Robinson is medically ok.  It wouldn't surprise me if Dave Caldwell believes that Robinson can be a # 1 WR.  

 

  Vikings GM Rick Spielman is a very good negotiator when it comes to trades.   If anyone can get something substantial for Peterson,  Rick Spielman comes to mind as someone I would want at the negotiating table.   The trade he pulled off for Percy Harvin with Seattle,  when the Vikings leverage was limited because of Harvin's baggage,  was remarkable.  That's one of a number of examples of Spielman's skill with trades.
