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.

    • He showed growth and progression for 5 straight games prior to last week.  I think next few games will  be telling, but I'm not sure what his ceiling may be.   All I'm saying is he did some really good things, showed that he can play against the blitz, carry the team on game tying or potential game winning drives... the jury is still out.  I wish he would have had Tank Dell, Nico Collins, Hunter Henry, Malik Nabers and other young receivers to be fairly evaluated.   I was out on Bryce after week 2 because he looked like he was ruined, no confidence, scared of the pressure, not keeping his eyes downfield.  Even in the loss last week he didn't seem to revert back to that mindset despite the turnovers.  I think he needs at least one more weapon in addition to Coker hopefully being the next Puka Nacua.  
    • I think that it's not about Pittsburgh, per sé, it's about being willing to give guys with talent and opportunity, but also being willing to get rid of players when they show that they don't have a team mentality. All teams should be taking notes as far as I'm concerned (especially how they go about finding the talent in the first place).
    • Idk about that correlation I see your point in theory but on one side is a prospect who has never had a chance in the NFL yet on the other side is someone who has already made a rep for himself with his team and not in a good way. Anywho as far as salary cap and this franchise goes it's just more for the fire right?
