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 panthers offense right now is spiritually the same as the 2010s Seahawks. They want to keep it close until the fourth quarter and then try to pull a rabbit out of their hat. instead of running marshawn into the line 30 times a game, we’re throwing 20 passes behind the line of scrimmage. And instead of Russell Wilson bullshit, we’re getting 20 yard drives to set up a 55 yard field goal. Also that team had multiple hall of famers and we’ve got the worst qb in the league by whatever collections of metrics you want to use

      So if Bryce could have come to Carolina with the same advantages he had every year at Alabama he would have been successful. Good coaches. Top recruiting classes far better than the opposition. Defense able to bail him out if he has a bad game.  Still doesnt change anything regarding footwork, mechanics, drop backs, reading the field, poor placement or any of the other myriad of issues that are still present in year 3.  Bryce wasn't ready to be the day 1 starter. There's nothing wrong with that. Dalton was clearly the more capable QB, as evidenced by what happened in Seattle in the rain, under extreme pressure. Same players, same coach, same terrible offensive line. Two different offenses.  When you look at Bryce and what he's done in game over the course of 3 years it's not pretty. He has moments of good, but there's been a lot more WTF. But saying Bryce would have been able to lead a team to the playoffs? Based on what we saw from him, he probably would have spent a good bit of year one on the bench holding a clipboard.

      Feels on brand for Mike Brown.  He's very anti trade.
