We’re not trading up at all. Not for Richardson and not for Claiborne.

I actually agree with Mark. Minnesota needs to protect their 1st round pick last season in Ponder. He has been hurt in each of his past 3 seasons. I know they are in a passing division. But Kalil makes the most sense period. Minn has wanted to trade down for weeks and can’t find a partner to do so. So…what does a good GM do in that situation. Find a team within 2 or 3 spots down and say we are going to draft the guy you want. The problem is, no one believes them. Or if they do, you might be talking out of your ___. Stay at #5 and get Mo, Kalil, or Blackmon.

I do like the Buffalo rumor and trading back to # 10. But they would have to give up more than just a 2nd round pick to get up to 5. Get their 2nd and 4th and call it a trade. But I truly believe Minn will take Kalil to protect Ponder, Clev get TR3, and Tampa ends up with Mo!! Thats not only what I want to happen. But what I feel will happen.

Everybody and their brother has heard the Minn/Tampa rumor and is running with it. Heard John Clayton on with Mike & Mike this morning going on & on about how the Bucs were really close to trading up. REALLY don’t see that happening, but I guess we’ll find out in about 9 hours. If anything, think they’ll go in the opposite direction if the right offer comes along.

If Morris Claibourne were Charles Woodson, then YES, you trade up in a heart beat.

Capt. Tim,

You Stop!

We are not trading up for a sissy tackling CB.

If we trade up, it is going to be for a freaking “bell cow”.

I agree our secondary is in shambles, but Trend Richardson is an absolute stud.

Your lovely DB prospect was scared to tackle him both times they played this year.

I wish you would stop naysaying against Trent Richardson, just admit he has all the tools, skills, and head on his shoulders to be an absolute STUD in this league.

I question Morris Claibourne’s willingness to tackle. He is a gifted athelete, but didnt start playing CB until college.

He also scored a 4 on the wonderlic. May not apply much, but a hole in his game.

Compare his stats and measureables to Patrick Peterson:
Slower, not as good a test taker, and a very large discrepency in # of tackles.

Sorry Timbo, but Richardson is a much better prospect then Claibourne.

I must say, If the Bucs do move up for Claibourne then I will loose some respect for the people running this team! I don’t really see his play ability as being worth a 5th over all pick to be honest.
