Trading for the First Pick, Advice?

[Actinguy1]

Greetings super friends! Hoping you can help me with a trade. I'm controlling all 32 teams.

The Bengals have the first overall pick of the 2012 draft.

I rank a "serious need" as not having a starter who is at least a 75 overall. Following this criteria, the Bengals only have one serious need: cornerback. The highest-rated cornerback in the draft is projected to go 13th. As such, I'm considering whether the Bengals would trade away their draft pick.

The top six projections are:
1) LE Coples
2) LE Roh
3) ROLB Bradham
4) LOLB Franklin
5) RE Browne
6) QB Luck

So I considered teams that A) Had a serious need at that position, AND B) Could either offer a 1st round pick within the first 13, or could offer a CB who was rated at least 78. Here's what I came up with:

DOLPHINS: Need Luck. Their highest QB is Rosenfels at 71. They can offer the 8th pick.

COLTS: Need Franklin. Their highest LOLB is 65. They can offer the 6th pick.

FALCONS: Need Franklin. Their highest LOLB is 74. They can offer an 80 OVR cornerback.

GIANTS: Need Bradham. Highest ROLB is 74. They can offer an 80 OVR cornerback.

RAMS: Need Bradham. Highest ROLB is 62. They can offer a 78 OVR cornerback and/or the 5th pick.

SAINTS. Need Bradham. Highest ROLB is 54. Can offer an 80 OVR cornerback.

So what do you guys think? What's the most realistic offer that would both be made and be accepted? Or would the Bengals keep their 1st pick overall?

Thanks!

None of those offers would be accepted.....even by the Bungles......u'd have to give up more then a 1st-rd pick and/or a 78 OVR CB...the Rams' offer sounds the most enticing depending on which CB the Bungles would be gettin back(Bartell? Fletcher?)....even still, another piece or two would have to be added into the deal...But as of right now, the Bungkes would be well-suited to keep the #1 pick

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I only meant these were the offers that would satisfy the cornerback need (either by offering one or giving a pick that might still have the CB available at that time). I realize additional picks are needed, any suggestions?

The CBs in play are:

Falcons. Dunta Robinson, 30 years old, 80 OVR.

Giants. Terrell Thomas, 27 years old, 80 OVR.

Rams. Bradley Fletcher, 25 years old, 78 OVR.

Saints. Patrick Robinson. 24 years old, 80 OVR.

All of these are 2nd string CBs for their current teams, but would be the second starter for the Bengals.

Bengals would draft Luck and trade him for some picks and CB most likely .
My two cents .

Rams for their 5th, Fletcher, a 3rd this year, and their 1st and 4th next year

Thanks! But I think that's too much for Madden's trading board. There's only three slots on each side. Your proposal would use up five slots on the Rams' side.

make 2 seperate trades.....Ram's 1st, Fletcher and a 3rd for the Bungles' 1st...then trade the Bungles 6th, and 7th for their 1st and 4th next year....does the proposal even sound reasonable to u tho?
