Trading Back-What could we get for the #6 pick? Is it worth it?

[Michael G]

So I've heard several pundits and huddlers mention the possibility of trading back to add draft capital. There are several teams who may or may not be in the market for a QB depending on how the FA-QB Carousel unfolds. these teams include;

1. Denver (Currently projected to Pick at #9)

2. WFT ( Currently projected to Pick at #11)

3. Minnesota (Currently projected to Pick at #12) if they unload Cousins 

4. Cleveland (Currently projected to Pick at #13) if they unload Baker M.

5. NO (Currently projected to Pick at #18)

6. Pittsburg (Currently projected to Pick at #20) Ben's Gone--Pickett played at U of Pittsburg

7. Las Vegas (Currently projected to Pick at #22) If they unload D. Carr

8. GB (Currently projected to Pick at #28) If Rodgers leaves or is traded and Love isn't their answer

9. Miami (Currently projected to Pick at #30) if new coach wants a change from Tua

Seattle could also be in the Market depending on whether or not Wilson is traded but they do not have a #1 pick this year. their first pick is projected at #41 (2nd Round)

How far back would you be willing to trade? Who could want the #6 pick? What would they give us for it? Would it be worth it? Why or Why not?

Minnesota and Cleveland seem like the most realistic options since there are QB needy teams currently drafting in front of them. 

I wouldn’t want to do it for less than a 2nd and 3rd, or a 2nd this year and a 2nd next year.

No Lower than #12 . Trade with Washington and get rnd 1  #11 plus #42 rnd 2

Some is going to trade up for Sauce. It's almost a gaurantee. He his seen as a legit shutdown CB with massive potential. If he has a sky high combine, you can bet someone will be throwing a few picks our way.

I would trade deep into the teens and get our 2nd and 3rd back. There is plenty of talent and probably some QB's that will fall.

[grimesgoat]

My dream scenario is - Denver is worried ATL will pick their guy so they give us 9 and 41 for 6.  Then Minn and WFT get nervous about getting their guy at QB so they get in a bidding war for 9.  The winner gives us a 2nd and 3rd.  Minnesota offers 12 and 46 and 77.  WFT offers 11 42 73.  WFT Wins.

11: Cross

41: Edge or G

42: Edge, G, or TE

73: G, TE, or LB

If someone wants to trade up to 6 for a QB, we should probably just take the QB.

Trading back out of a premium pick just to recoup part of what we gave up for Darnold...makes me want to cry.

Agree but they can spin it that "they gave up nothing for Darnold in the long run"

They've already done some of that "GM speak" last draft

Exactly.  If they have their pick of the qb class they might as well pull the trigger.

Who’s your QB1?

I see Denver as the only non-GB/retirement Rodgers' option.  If that doesn't happen, they are the team to trade with as they're getting anxious about their situation.  WAS possibly but DEN has the capital.  They've got (2) 2nds and (2) 3rds.  

Get Pick 9, Pick 63 (Their 2-2), and maybe a late rounder 5-6th.  

Gonna be hard to trade IMO.

It's insanity. Pick 6 is a damn premium spot

[Michael G]

I think its hard to really predict the moves teams may make until FA has started. Our use of pick 6 will probably largely be determined by several factors (ie- How do the coaches feel about Brady C? Did they acquire any Interior OL players that could start? Were they (Macadoo) blown away by any of the QBs at their Prodays? Did thye bring in or trade for a QB prior to the draft?)  

IMO Fit will trade back unless we get draft capital by trading an established player. Last year he talked about a "cutoff" point that was just outside the top 10. I think he'll try to trade back to just inside that if possible and still land a premium player (based on their evaluations).

Is there any trade back option worth it to give up a Pickett, Neal, or Ekwonu (and maybe Cross)?
