Since we don't have anything else to talk about, what about this mock draft trade scenario?

[top dawg]

...28th overall selection to the Jacksonville Jaguars for the 39th and 70th picks. Do you like trading the pick? 

 

 

 

Cover32 mock draft 3.0

 

 

Well, I looked at their entire first round, and I suppose it's just as much as throwing-poo-on-the-wall-and-seeing-if-it-sticks as anyone else's.  I wonder if the Jags would even want to trade up for Bortles in that scenario. I mean if the Texans would take Teddy and the Browns take Johnny, who would take Bortles between 28 and 29? The Bucs? The Raiders? Possibly.  

 

Depending upon how the Texans, Browns and Raiders pick in the first, I guess that either one of them or the Bucs might want to trade up and get Bortles, Bridgewater, or Manziel.  BTW, Pettine is already throwing up  a smokescreen.

 

If so, would we even want to do that?  It's an interesting question.

I think if we did trade down we would ask for more picks than that imo.

Perhaps. I just don't know what the going rate would be for the 28th pick.  A second and a third in this year's draft may be appropriate compensation. Hey. If we could get more, I'd be all for it (though I believe other teams may balk at giving up more).

It all just depends on who drops. If a Cooks drops (doubtful), I'm drafting him at 28.

 

If all that is left are the 2nd tier WRs (some of whom could be had at 39), and the OT group of Bitonio, Cyrus, etc., I'm probably trading down. IMO you'd get that same level guy at 39 in this scenario, while picking up an early 3rd rounder to boot.

If we could slide down for an extra pick or so, we could get some good adds:

Mini-mock:

Bitonio

Matthews

Fleming

Desir

We can only dream haha

I'd probably do it, I'm guessing the top 5 WRs and top 4 OTs will be gone at 28, so why not step back a bit and pick up an early third as well? That'd give us 4 picks in the top 100, grab a pair of receivers and linemen and I'm happy.

 

Per the traditional pick value chart (http://www.draftcountdown.com/features/Value-Chart.php), the 28th pick is valued at 660 points while 39th is 510 and 70th is 240.

The old-adage is if you want to trade back into a round you have to give up that same round in a future draft. I'd like to see us move down into the second and pick up another pick. I'd think it'd have to be for a second this year and a first next year, but I could be wrong. Maybe a second this year and a second next year. If Houston doesn't take a quarterback first, perhaps they'd trade with us, for the fear that someone else will move up to 31 or 32 to get the qb they want. They could give us 33 overall and next year's second rounder. I like that scenario. 

 

But what do I know...just two years ago Minnesota moved to 29 and only gave up a second and fourth rounder in the same draft.

This. If we think there's a future starting LT or #1 WR on the board, then get that pick in just as quickly as we did the Star pick. If not, seriously entertain offers.

Moved down 11 spots and pick up number 70 in this years draft ... I like it but that's if nobody is there we like ........

[Captain Morgan]

pretty sure someone we like lot is gonna be there at our spot.

 

 

[Jimmy]

It's been my position all along that any trading we do should be trading back.  I think in this scenario we could probably get a 5th round pick as well since Jacksonville has 3 5th round picks.  3 for 1

Looking at their mock draft, all of the guys we have talked about pretty much would be gone except for Kouandjio and Moses.  

[gettlemanjack]

so would you rather have:

#28, #60, #92

or

#39, #60, #70, #92

?

#28 - #28 in 1st R

#60 - #28 in 2nd R

#92 - #28 in 3rd R

or

#39 - #7 in 2nd R

#60 - #28 in 2nd R

#70 - #6 in 3rd R

#92 - #28 in 3rd R

?

If the draft played out like that, I'd either take Moses, take Matthews, or trade back.
