Potential Draft Day Trade Partners

So I was thinking about teams that Gettleman might trade with and a few names came to mind.

 

First and foremost is obviously the Giants. One of the few trades Gettleman has ever made was Beason for the conditional pick that ended up being a 7th rounder. That trade made it clear that Gettleman still has a relationship with Jerry Reese and Tom Coughlin, so they are definitely a potential partner.

 

Next is Rick Spielman and the Vikings. This one fits for two reasons. One, it was Minnesota that we traded with last year, giving up that 7th that we got for Beason to move up 20 spots in the 5th and snag Bene (Genius in hindsight). Two, Spielman has openly said that he wants more picks in this year's draft, so they will probably be looking to trade down. 

 

Lastly, I could see us trading with the Bears. This article states that Gettleman knows John Fox, and Chicago has lots of holes on defense and a new GM who might try to make a bit of a splash. Plus our organization has a rich history of trading with the Bears, though given that was all Hurney.

 

Realistically, we are not trading up in the 1st round. With our comp picks though, I could see us using our 5th or maybe even our 4th to move up in the 3rd or 2nd round if we see a really undervalued player on the board. *coughShaqcough* The spots of those potential teams are as follows:

 

  • 2nd: Chicago - 39. New York Giants - 40. Minnesota - 45  (Carolina - 57)
  • 3rd: Chicago - 71. New York Giants - 74. Minnesota - 76  (Carolina - 89)

 

Thoughts? Can anyone think of any other head coaches or GMs that Getts has a relationship / history with that I'm forgetting?

I think the list of teams we won't trade with is shorter. New England, NFC South, Seattle, Arizona, and the Cowboys. 

 

In my eyes we wouldn't deal with these teams because they are our most direct competition or there is bad blood.

 

 

The Chargers, Chiefs, Bengals, 49ers, and Steelers are teams we have loose ties to or previous draft history.

 

But there are many factors that are unpredictable in the draft. We went up and got Bene because we were shocked he was still available. How far we moved up was based on who would take our offer.

If we trade down, expect a bunch of trading up later in the draft.  the best candidate for trading down would be any team who wants a QB like Hunley or Petty.  At the top of the second round there will be a lot of teams who need a qb.   To assure a qb, trade up into the bottom of the first.

Let's just say for fun that the Vikes offer up the 11th overall pick for more picks, what is that pick worth to them? Could a 1st, 3rd and 5th get that done? 

 

I don't believe that this trade would ever be made by Gettleman, but thinking about how the Vikes want picks and they're in a spot where it's not a "Top 10 Pick" and you could get a Gurley or one of the better OTs or WRs in that spot.

 

Just thinking out loud...

      What we had then, what we have now...

      By d-dave · Posted

      If only those guys grew on trees? The 2015 team was really special.  That was such an incredible year until the Super Bowl. What happened was the owner let the football people handle football decisions.  We had a front office that made some really good decisions.  Just hit on FAs and draft picks at a high level.  Those guys became GREAT players.  Our head coach held the team to a standard, but allowed them to be themselves.  That let so many of those guys grow into vocal leaders and tone setters.  Then we had Cam play lights out for the entire year.  We had a defense led by Luke, one of the best to ever play.  We had guys like Greg and TD who were so smart and tenacious. That was a special team.  The biggest question is how do we bring that back?  We don't because we can't.  Instead, we need to build up the team again.  Bryce is not Cam, duh.  Maybe he's not even the guy next season.  But there are some dudes like DB, Horn, Chubba who are all high character, effort productive players. As team, they need to lean into what they do well, and give Bryce his opportunities to prove himself.  If not, you keep building the best team and work on that QB.

      Did the Panthers get Mike McDaniel fired now?

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross was less than thrilled after the Miami Dolphins lost against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, 27-24, dropping their record to 1-4 on the season. "He was really frustrated, just like I was," head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday. "We talked about the challenge ahead to get ready for the Los Angeles Chargers, and that was really the extent of it." https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25257873-mike-mcdaniel-admits-dolphins-owner-was-really-frustrated-after-loss-panthers
