A trade I'd like to see tomorrow

[JawnyBlaze]

First of all, no I typically don't like trading a future first for a current second.  However I think with the players left on the board and assuming we'll be picking around #32 next year (or at worst in the last 4 picks), I think that sort of trade makes sense for tomorrow.  

If we can trade next year's first for an early 2nd (like top 5) then I'd be satisfied there. Still happy if we can get Ogbah, Dodd or HHenry in the middle by trading next year's first. 

Here's I go off the rails a little. What I'd REALLY like to see is, assuming one of the three mentioned above is available, trading next year's first and our second to the Titans for their two middle seconds. I kinda doubt the value makes it realistic, basically saying our next year first is worth more than their middle second round pick enough to also swap our second with their third second, but if it could work out that could be great. If we could somehow land Ogbah or Dodd AND HHenry that would be outstanding. Assuming two of those three players aren't available, then getting one of the DEs plus a player like Shephard or another offensive player that wouldn't likely be available at #62 would also be nice.

I'd rather just do a trade similar to last years.

I see more of a repeat of last year. Trade a few later picks and our 2nd to move up.

I don't see Dave trading away future high picks. Wouldn't make sense.

patience. patience. A lot of talent is there. That doesn't sound like cause to trade up. It sounds like cause to stay put and see what happens. The henry's, sharp, dodd, ogbah, bell, Alexander, Spriggs, cravens, and ward are all on the board. All are good value at our pick and  positions of need. And one of them could very well be there.

Never trade away future 1st round picks.  Besides, no one available is worth it.  Tonight the boards fell the way the Panthers wanted it to fall.  Perhaps things will play out the same.  Let's not trade up for the sake of trading up.

[LinvilleGorge]

Yep, patience.  Still lots of talent available.  I'm sure just like last year Dave has a list of guys and if they start going fast, we'll start working the phones.  If not, just sit back and see how the board falls and take the BPA.

Nothing about what I typed said trade up for the sake of trading up. I'm in fact interested in specific players because they can actually have early impact. I personally think Dodd, Ogbah or HHenry are easily worth first round picks. Maybe Gettleman does too, he just liked Butler even more. I'd be fine with just doing it like last year two, but the thought just occurred to me that we could get two mid round 2nds and keep our other rounds' picks while not giving up that much from what I assume our draft spot will be next year. If we pick 30 again, for example, and trade that one and our #62 for the Titans' second two 2nds (44 and 45 if I'm not mistaken? Somewhere around there) the overall draft positions are almost the same. 89 to 92, slightly in our favor.

I don't see anything wrong with trading next year's compensatory pick to move up.  We'll probably get a 3rd for Norman.  Isn't that a thing now?

[LinvilleGorge]

No "Hurney deals" please.

[LinvilleGorge]

Can't trade comp picks.  We could trade OUR 3rd rounder, but not the comp pick.  Even if comp picks could be traded, we couldn't trade next year's because we don't actually have it yet.

Pretty sure it can now be done, and has already been done.

[LinvilleGorge]

Not that I'm aware of, but even still, we don't actually have a comp pick next year.  Yet.

The Eagles traded next year's comp pick in the package to move to #2. You trade the comp pick with a contingency in place if you don't get the pick you expect to.

You can trade compensatory picks now. As to your second point, the ideology goes that we know we have a 3rd incoming so we trade the future three we currently possess.

 

Still I don't see any players hangjng around who are worth a future 1st.
