Possible Trade Scenario


Recommended Posts

If either of the top two RBs (Melvin Gordan & Todd Gurley) are on the board when Carolina is up, both teams following the Panthers pick have noted interest in the position.


This would put the Panthers in a strong position to trade back.

 

Possible trade partners could include:

 

Baltimore (26th pick)

 

Dallas (27th pick)

 

New England (32nd pick)

 

Jacksonville (36th pick)

 

St. Louis (41st pick)

 

Minnesota (45th pick)

 

Thoughts?

Nobody is going to give up their draft picks to move up 1 space.

 

A number of teams are in need of a quality running back.  The fact that both teams following our pick would likely select a RB makes our position more valuable.  These are possible trade partners for our spot. 

 

Baltimore: Has the 26th pick

 

Dallas: Has the 27th pick

 

New England: has the 32nd pick

 

Jacksonville: Has the 36th pick

 

St. Louis: has the 41st pick

 

Minnesota: Has the 45th pick

Who is trading up at that point to get a RB? Cowboys jumping the Ravens to get their guy is the only scenario I see. It makes sense as a trade up spot to get a RB but I think it's fairly unlikely because I don't think there will be many teams looking to go up and get a RB at that point.

We already have 9 picks and a roster with what i would call good depth so i really have a hard time seeing 9 rookies + the undrafted ones making the roster. I'd rather see us trading up in one of the early rounds and grab a player that we really like.

    • some of my favorite mocks i do are trading back with Indy or Miami, but not Arizona, as that lets Hotlanta pick before us.
    • Carter, Graham, and Hunter for me. Other than that I'm listening to offers. Hell, I'm listening to offers anyway. I'm not doing the Gettleman thing of submitting the pick immediately. If the phones are ringing there's no cost to listening. Maybe someone has an offer so good that I can't refuse.
    • These numbers do not measure a player's prime. Do these numbers include OL pulled up from the practice squad for a game or two then cut?  Do they include players who might have been injured or cut for reasons other than they were past their primes?  The average career for an NFL lineman is 3.63 years, and that is because there is a lot of turnover--regardless of a player's prime. In fact, if only 55% of Offensive linemen drafted in the first round succeed, then the failure rates of most offensive linemen drafted and undrafted would be much lower, cause them to skew the average age of the OL.  This suggests that most players' retirement from the NFL is not based on their prime, but other factors.  They are cut, released, injured--and that is based on their level of play compared to others, not their levels of play within their personal skill range--something that peaks during your prime. In this case, I was talking about Moton, an elite offensive tackle, one that avoided the factors that shorten careers unrelated to their primes. I identify Moton as the team's best offensive lineman on an impressive OL--that distinguishes the type of player being referenced, so I did not provide a lot of qualifiers--as you didn't with your stats.   In this article below, one that evaluates established Offensive tackles, it states the following, which supports my comment:  "Most elite offensive tackles start to decline at roughly the age of 32 if they haven’t already."  So to say that Moton was at the end of his prime was not a reach or careless speculation.  If a player has the skill to be competitive and they can avoid injuries, their career expectancy is much higher than an average of all offensive lineman on a fluid roster. https://www.milehighreport.com/2017/2/27/14724674/age-wall-for-offensive-tackles-nfl
