Panthers more likely to trade down now?

[La Pantera]

Hawks always trade down because they're always picking in the very bottom of the first(if they have a 1st at all). There's not a huge drop off in talent in bottom 1st/ 2nd founders

If we can trade down and still get Lance or my preference Jones then I’m all for it but having Pitts or Smith right there at 8 would be an amazing piece to add to our already dynamic offense. A trade down for someone like Leatherwood late in the first and picking up 1 or 2 day 2 picks is also a great move.

Didn’t Rhule want to trade down last draft?  Definitely a possibility now.

He probably thought he was ok at quarterback then

No QB = try to trade down.

[cardiackat88.]

This has been my exact Madden strategy for years.

 

Trade down as much as possible, draft as much potential as possible, and pay as little as possible. Sign all of them to max years with no bonus to be cut at any time.

When there rookie contract is in its final year, trade them for more picks.

Rinse, repeat.

Draft is gonna be mad unpredictable with this new GM.  The Seahawks are unconventional player evaluators.  It's had some decent results though.  The war zoom room is gonna be interesting.  I would love to see big board and position ranking right before the draft.   I could definitely see a trade down.

One benefit of trading down is collecting enough picks to use some of them on the more overlooked positions--if you look at the Seahawks' drafts over the last few years, they've done well drafting the "non-premium" positions on days 2 and 3--there are a lot of good safeties and interior linemen on both sides of the ball. Looks like a great antidote to our perpetual depth issues.

We could trade down a bit and still get maybe Lance or Mac Jones . If not we could trade down and get a QB in the 2nd round .  Players like Jamie Newman will still  be available in later rounds . Someone always drops .

[Moo Daeng]

Maybe, it depends on who the catalyst for Seattle trading down was. Did Fitterer dive that strategy? Did he go along as it was driven by those above him? We'll see.

Certainly his experience influenced him but it's not like anyone things Beane in Buffalo GMs like Hurney or Gettleman.

I would recommend any team trade down when they are in the process of rebuilding AND they already have the QB they want. If Rhule is sticking with Teddy then we're trading down if we can imo.

If there isn't a QB that we are truly confident in at #8 then I have even said we should trade back a little and pick up an extra pick or two and start plugging these gaps we have on the OL and secondary.

It pains me to say it, but we may just have another year of Teddy Three Thumbs at QB....unless we get creative.

I’d rather trade for Mariotta

LOL, I still prefer Teddy 2 Yards that somebody said weeks ago

Not posted in here in a very long time, but definitely a fan of trading down and acquiring assets.

That's a risk, Mariotta hasn't had much success in the NFL.

I would choose Darnold over Mariotta at this point.
