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

Recommended Posts

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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)?

    • Why do we always let our good players go ?   CMC was injured and we let him go . Now we face him Monday night .  We know what Chuba can do . We know what Rico can do .  We signed Chuba so why not sign Rico .   we don't know what we have in Brooks ,  Let him and Eteine go at it in camp . Keep the better player .  Don't let your proven players leave .
    • Oh, I get it. I called him Peewee for the first couple of years. He is too small to be an NFL QB. It wasn't as much of a problem in college, even in the SEC, because every player in the NFL is the size and speed of the biggest 22 on your entire college team.  I was left scratching my head over the pick and what we traded to get him (and yes, that cost analysis is unavoidable). Now we're sunk into the third season and the kid just popped a frikkin' amazing game out there where he showed every mark of what you need in a top end QB. Great passing, mobility, guts, toughness (that ankle must have been killing him) and the ability to put a team on his back to claw back a win. He didn't win it with his arm so much as by getting the ball to the right people at the right time, but that is what the best do. Do I believe he's going to be our QB of the future here? I'm still out on that. Way out on that. But I'm at least intrigued. Can he replicate what he did or even get close? Can he perform well against the power opponents we have left on the schedule? Heck, can he even beat New Orleans this season?  Right now, my personal feeling is that he'd make a heck of a back-up QB. He could prove me wrong and excel, though. Maddening as it is, that'd be the best outcome ever. Or he could have just hit his peak. And that would be bittersweet because then we start the whole thing over again. I don't see a reclaimation project QB out there right now that Canales can work his magic on.
