Trading up in this draft is ew

Hey Bobby.... Good topic and find but there's been a thread on this already.

 

 

My bad, should've looked. If you lock/delete, it's all good.

[JJman Returns]

i doubt gman considers a move like that until the day of the trade. i could see moving up if a perceived blue chip player falls into that area.

This.

Trades like this are almost never made until the pick the team is moving up for is on the clock. No sense in trading up unless you know who'll be available there.

That said gettleman seems like a conservative. He won't trade up until the later rounds. doesn't like to gamble his future.

[Matthias]

Amari Cooper is the only guy worth moving up for in this draft, and we should only do that if he falls to 11.

I normally laugh at rumors at this time of year, but this is believable. I know all 9 picks and 3 UFDAs will not make the roster. Either package to move up or trade for future picks, seems to be best. Pats and 49ers always have 10+ picks cause they get future picks.

Peat and parker are worth trading up for, imo.

Waynes likely would be the only guy you mentioned with a shot of being there. White goes top 10. Parker likely 10-15 range.

 

The draft is too unpredictable to be that specific about where guys are picked.  Also, as PhillyB said, I think it would depend on who's available where and when on draft day for DG.

The cost to move up would be a 3rd rounder most likely, not too bad really.

[CelibatePimp]

DG does not strike me as someone who would orchestrate such a trade. Draft day trading to move up in the first round to me is almost like spending big in FA.

[CelibatePimp]

Also, this is entirely opposite of the BPA philosophy.

Would likely cost more than a 3rd to move up 9 spots in the first.

When you have a GM who can find starters in the 4th-7th rounds you feel confident about moves like this.

Apart from last year, DG has not really shown much in the 4th-7th rounds. Let give it some more time before we crown him late-round draft genius.

honestly i dont see anyone i love enough to move up. Now if i could move up in the second round and snag say Cedric ogubuei or how you spell his name then we could talk. The meat and potatoes in this class is in the second. Not much difference from pick 20-50
