Potential Trade up to 19th Overall w/Miami


Lout

Recommended Posts

It says we are targeting Marquis Lee or Brandin Cooks at 19.

 

Miami interested in trading down from 19 if Zack Martin isn't there.. which I believe will be gone at 12 (NYG).

 

We'd have to give up a 2nd or 3rd rounder to jump 9 spots in the 1st round.

 

If we stand at 28, it sounds like Bitonio is our target.

 

What do you guys think?

All I'll say is, don't trust everything you read draft week. There's also been article saying we are open to trading down. Both beat writers think KB is one of the top guys they want. Point is, no one really knows except a select few. Everything else is speculation.

Doesn't seem like Gettleman's style

 

I agree completely.  While I'd love either Cooks or Lee on the team.. giving up a 2nd or 3rd rounder is too rich for the extensive needs that we have on this team.

No way we trade up into top 20. Only trade up I could see would be with the Browns at 26 if there's a WR we want and a QB they want. Give up only a 6, then the Saints can't steal our guy. But even that is unlikely.

This sounds like Miami floating rumors to raise trade value of their pick. If teams think the Panthers are moving to 19, suddenly the 4 NFC playoff teams (including the Saints) are on notice. Do you want to lose your guy to a fellow contender? Do you want to lose your guy to the team that stole the division from you? The team that sent you to Seattle?

 

It just sounds like typical draft noise to me.

As I said earlier. I love making the playoffs but it really does suck the fun come draft time when you have such a crappy pick like we do. I wish there was some kind of balance, like we go 9-7 every season, make the playoffs and still get a top 15 pick lol. Get best of both worlds. Still make playoffs while still getting a decent pick.

Honestly, out of Sammy Watkins and a few others, this draft seems to be filled with JAGs, doesnt seem like a big difference between 1st and 2nd rounds.

I understand how you feel about picking late but think it through....Do you want to make the playoffs and lose in the wild card every year? Draft position is part record but mostly based on how far you go in the playoffs.

 

I'm fine picking late, there are still lots of intriguing players on the board. To me drafting late sucks in the 2nd round when the last of the big names are scooped up and by the third you are taking players with big question marks.

It's frustrating to get a later pick though just because we got a bye and not because we went deep in the playoffs. It feels like we had the same level of postseason success as say, the Packers (since we were both one and done), but they pick 21st.

I know getting a bye week is huge, but still...doesn't change how people are going to perceive the postseason success/draft pick tradeoff.

    • If I’m putting myself in a team’s shoes - you’re looking at these prospects and Warren hits most boxes for a TE with a plus on most. So yeah, he’s a great prospect, no doubt, 1st round talent as a TE. But when I look at him through the lens of that PSU offense, they were running so much through him, I’m not so sure it was beneficial to seeing how he translates.  They were getting him open in the flat, running weird trick plays, and designed a lot of ways to find him on delayed seam routes and such. So a lot was structured around getting him the ball in creative ways to advance the ball, in steady sequences, methodically down the field.  Thing is, yeah he’s catching a ton, is big, and can block, but throw him into an NFL offense in a more traditional sense, he’s gonna be stickied by speedy LBs and big nickels. I just wonder how he is in a more isolated fashion— when he’s just a piece of a greater NFL offense getting shadowed by more talented defenders. I think it could still be great but I have question marks when it’s at the TE position. Will he look no different than other very solid TEs or is he this offensive centerpiece at the position that doesn’t come along often (Bowers, Gronk, Kelce, Witten, TG, etc)? I think he brings a ton and could be one of the safer TE prospects, but what I’m unsure about is if you’re really getting this new age Witten type people are crowning him as. Even if that’s the case, is that worth it? If he wasn’t in PSU’s Franklin/Allar offense, would you be seeing the same output?  More questions than anything - I could get on board with it, but it’s hard for me to really project because of how that offense was (which was so frustrating at times). 
    • Twitter sources, but supposedly the Rams want him. He might actually go Round 1. 
    • You aren't going to ever get him out of the equation. As he has stated previously, he believes it his right to make the final call on decisions.
