Because if you trade up thats pretty much all but saying you need this player.your not waiting for bpa to fall in your lap and your giving up more get said player.

 

Or it could be saying that if your #5 rated player is available at #20, he's far and away the BPA at that point and worth giving up some extra to go get.

I think that you can pay the groundwork with a team ahead of the draft. You work out what it would take to make the jump with a team and know the players that you would jump for.

But, I agree that you do not make a trade before the draft in the spots that we are talking about...too many variables.

 

Yeah, would make sense to lay the groundwork ahead of time and get a sense for what it would cost.

There's not a player in this draft outside of the top-8 picks worth trading up for. I'll be pissed if we give up anymore than a 5th rounder to trade up, regardless of who it's for.

 

I don't know what type of credentials you have, but when people make comments like this, I can't help but think they are delusional about how much they think they know.

How?

 

anytime a team trades up they're doing it to get a guy they really like, if we trade up i'd assume were doing the same

 

 

hypothetically,if we trade up i don't think we would do it just to get the bpa but to get somebody DG likes and doesn't think will make it to pick 25

 

 

therefore,in this particular situation i don't think bpa would apply

BPA means best player available.

 

 

If you make a trade, and select anyone that you have graded at or higher than that selection, you are still drafting the best player available at your spot.

Gettleman moved up to get Benwikere in the 5th, because he knew he would be a stud, if Gettleman moves up that far in the first it's probably because he knows someone is a future pro bowler.

Nope....completely wrong.

 

All it says is that he sees a BPA guy that would be available in the 16-19 range that is worth more than the players he could get at 25 and whatever other pick we would give up.

 

It actually totally supports the BPA view.

I keep hearing people talk about Gettleman's "style" and what it seems like he will or won't do.  The guy has two years of GM'ing to look at and both of those years he has been battling significant cap issues.  There's simply not enough info to go off of to make any real conclusions about Gettleman and what he may or may not do.  Sure, we all know the rhetoric that Gettleman has preached, but actions speak louder than words.

I don't see how your explanation proves that a trade would go against taking the BPA.

 

Taking the BPA means that when you're on the clock, you are taking the highest rated player on your board, rather than taking someone who is rated lower because they fill an immediate need.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
