A trade I'd like to see tomorrow

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
