Willing to Trade Down?

[MHS831]

Here is how i see it-if you need 3 or 4 starters and can add three starters by trading up, do it.  If you are filling depth needs, trade back if nothing is there when your name is called.

Depends on offer as always.  Trade down say 7-8 spots and pick up a second, would lean toward saying yes.  Must be a good offer and no obvious stud falls to 16.

If there's a run on defensive ends then I'd rather we go back opposed to sacrificing the farm to get into the position to take one.

None of you are even mentioning Jonah Williams. I hope that it's because you don't believe that he'll fall.

If he falls, he should be the pick IMO. Of semi-realistic options in the 1st round I would go in this order: 

Jonah Williams, Burns, Ferrell, Dilliard, Ford (Assuming Gary, Oliver, Sweat are all gone)

I can just hear the screaming on draft night , if a player other than a OL/DL is announced.  Of course, it may be a good bet that we have traded down and are picking for another team . The huddle will really test the hamsters at this point.  It won’t be until we get to their pick and the trade Is announced that sanity will return.  Alternatively, if we get past the low twenties,Hurney may have that player rated, BPA meaning no trade was made and ranting will proceed.

It all depends on how the board falls.  Just going to 20 gets us a third.

Lets say you grade on a 100 point scale and there is a 93, 89,88, and 88 left when it is your turn to pick.  You take the 93 and call it a day.  If the 93 is already gone and the 89,88, and 88 are the top 3 on your board you trade down to a point you are guaranteed to get one of them if the fourth guy is a tier below them.

Personally if Sweat is there you take him.  Maybe he is gone and your next three are Burns, Ford, and Williams.  Maybe you like all of them equally and at that point you can trade down.

At 16 I feel like there is a good chance that a trade down might be smart.  Those upper tier guys will probably all be gone so it might be a perfect spot to trade back.

I feel like Burns is gonna be the best of all the top defensive ends. He's undersized but has a great rush plan, bends like plastic man, and seems to have a high motor. If he can put on 15 pounds he'll be he'll for opposing offenses. If he can't then we're in trouble unless we go to a  3-4. 

 

The only guy ahead of him for me is bosa and we aren't getting him

Honestly, I would trade up. I think it would be an interesting idea to trade up for a top 10 pick in order to get Montez Sweat or Brian Burns. Could probably do that by trading next years 2nd round pick and this years 16th pick.

A trade down would be easy but as long as the entire league knows we need a DE, a trade up would probably be very costly. 

Somehow we have to sign a DE and FS before the draft starts ....and with minimum money. 

The Good news is the cap can be extremely flexible.
