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...

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
