Draft Day Trades

Sometimes teams move up because they have their eye on a guy who they think will put them over the top.  Atlant moving up for the WR a few yrs back is an example.

 

There are also other trades, like trades back because the value at your draft position is nothing you have a need for.

 

 

 

 

This year, who do you see moving up or down in the first round?

 

I will start off with two teams on opposite ends of the spectrum.

 

SF has 12 picks, actually 11 now since they gave up a 6th for Gabbert.  With the talent they have on that team, I can see them moving up in several rounds rather than just bringing in 11 new guys, 10 of which might not even make the team.

 

Baltimore has only 4 picks, dropping back would serve them well.

 

Maybe the two of them could get together?

With the Falcons going 3/4, I think they will draft Khalil Mack or Anthony Barr.  They also need to focus on their o-line.  I mean didn't we sack Ryan like eight times? 

 

Yeah, I actually think the Clowney talk was go give them some cover in FA where they went after all 34 D guys.

 

I agree that Mack would be exceptional for them and an OT is a great fallback position for them

Yeah, I think the Falcons will just stay put and pick an OT. Things just aren't the same for them this year -- they're not seen as the team who only needs that one missing piece to go the distance.

 

I'm surprised no one has mentioned what I think is the most obvious trade scenario -- Cleveland moving up to no.2. Chances are, the Browns won't be in love with all 3 of the 'top tier' quarterbacks. You have the resources, now go and get your franchise guy. The Rams can move down and still get one hell of a pickup. It just makes too much sense.

      Rumors

      From what I am seeing these are the locks for teams drafting in the top 10: 1. Ten - Cam Ward  2. Cle - Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter (it will be one of the two, so this close enough to a "lock") 4. NE - Will Campbell (it has been leaked that people in the building are claiming him as "our guy") 5. Jac - Mason Graham 7. Jets - Armand Membou (they want Graham, but he won't be there. Next guy on the board is Membou)   The real wild cards are the Giants and the Raiders. No one seems to know exactly what they want to do. I think if Hunter is there for NY they take him, but Carter is not a "need" for them, and they might entertain trades down, but anyone that wants to jump up to 3 would want a QB and that might be too rich for the return for most teams. Would someone trade up for Carter or Hunter? Maybe. But it would need to be a team on the verge of winning a championship to make that move seem logical. The Raiders could go any direction. They need help on both sides of the ball. They won't go QB because of the trade for Geno. With Pete Carroll at the helm, the logical thought is defensive back. Could Starks or Emmanwori go this high? Does Carroll like Will Johnson enough to pick him? Is Jeanty their guy? I think the Panthers spot at 8 has become very attractive. It isn't top 5, so it won't cost as much to trade up into it, and it is right above the Saints, who could be in the QB market, and the Bears, which have been heavily linked to Jeanty. I think if Jeanty is on the board at 8, Jerry Jones won't be able to help himself and will call us. Morgan will likely take the trade, add picks, and still get one of his top guys.

      All I know is the track record of 1st round rookie Wr getting less than 500 yards in year 1 is very bleak. And mad because Bryce looks bad? I'm mad if a player in a panther jersey drops the ball. Don't get that argument...

      Will say, I was watching clips and J Stewart was a nightmare for potential 1st round OT Ersery w/Minnesota.  Took care of that kid when they played.
