Who Has to Be Off the Board to Trade Back?

This is one of the few drafts I can think of recently where the depth is much better than the scant amount elite players at the top of the board. That being said, who has be be gone prior to #8 where you are saying, trading back is just as attractive of an option as BPA?

To me it's:

-Graham

-Carter

-McMillan

After that, to me (Jeanty aside whom we will not draft) players aren't moving the needle much more than the next prospect for several picks.  I'm cool with moving back several picks and getting one of the next cluster of Edge guys.

Carter, Graham, and Hunter for me. Other than that I'm listening to offers. Hell, I'm listening to offers anyway. I'm not doing the Gettleman thing of submitting the pick immediately. If the phones are ringing there's no cost to listening. Maybe someone has an offer so good that I can't refuse.

Here is another question:  If you drafted Hunter, where would you play him?

CB with a package of plays on offense. That's the best bang for the buck. It's a lot harder to contribute situationally on defense and he's a better CB than WR as is. This is all for moot. He's gone before #8 unless he gets indicted for murder between now and draft day.

Looks like you favor moving back as realistically none of them make out of the top 5.

Good thread idea, 45.  I get why you added McMillan, but I think I would keep my list to 2--Carter and Graham.

I might add Will Johnson if we don't land a free agent CB who is starting caliber--

Johnson seems to be beneficiary of a seemingly weak CB class, certainly top echelon ones.  Granted I haven't dove into the draft as much this season as prior years, but I have yet to see glowing reviews for him.  Stated like this, would he be a top 10 CB in a stacked CB class?  Similar to the QBs this draft, Sanders and Ward would have been second round selections in last years QB class.

I'm definitely for listening to offers. Always a chance someone else values a remaining prospect a lot more than you do.

Still a long time until draft day too. These big boards will change a lot post-Combine when the press will get a lot of scout access and get a better idea of how actual NFL talent evaluators view these guys.

I have said the same thing

I have the same concerns.  Not playing this year makes him tough to gauge.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
