Theory on the Chad Johnson trade

[Badabing]

bryan12112...I agree...

Don't get me wrong, draft picks are important, but when you can add a guy that dominates the game like Chad Johnson, I wouldn't care if the Bucs traded their first 3 picks for the man....

The reality is, we may have to trade our 1st and maybe a 3rd or 4th to land him...and I'm fine with that...

[bryan12112]

I'm not saying draft picks aren't important. When you start trading away multiple top picks, you can get in trouble. But I think a first and a third is still a reasonable deal for Chad Johnson. The Bucs would be getting an elite WR in return, filling a huge need, and they could still land an important player in the second round.

I would trade our second for Johnson, no question.

I'd even trade our first.  CJ has many good years left and we need a good personality around TB.

[John Galt?]

I would trade our second for Johnson, no question.

I think that is the fair value for him.  Throw in Nece or Will Allen even.

I would trade our second for Johnson, no question.

Tell me a WR that we could at 20 that is better than CJ.  I think Clayton was 17.

and CJ was a second rounder.  We may not get a better WR at 20 but DT/DE/CB/RB who knows.

[yuccaneers]

Clayton was 15 and the pick at 14 was DT Tommie Harris

Tell me a WR that we could at 20 that is better than CJ.  I think Clayton was 17.

The only thing is, I believe the Bucs have a real plan in mind for that 20th pick this year.

You mean like using it?

[DanTurksGhost]

You mean like using it?

Well, like keeping it to start with. But I just get this vibe that they have a real sense of exactly who is going to be available at that spot and have a couple of guys that they really, really want to add to the squad from that slot.

IF - big IF - any team could get an elite speedy and proven NFL wr in exchange for a pick - they would have a hard time passing - and the 20 pick - for a team in desparate need of an elite, speedy proven NFL wr - I think the plan might be altered.  I don't see the Bengals letting Ocho go for that price.

It's a good year to be at #20 I think.  With the needs we have there are going to be several guys available there who would work.  But man, Chad Johnson.  That's gotta make them think about trading it.

I think you've hit the nail on the head.

But man, Chad Johnson.  That's gotta make them think about trading it.

Plans change, so who knows?
