Trade down Scenerio


Squirrel

Recommended Posts

the problem is i really don't see any reason for anyone to trade up in this draft. it is a pretty crappy draft class and the worst one in years, maybe ever, to have the 1st overall.

i can't see us getting much value at all out of a trade.

JR said he wants a playmaker. I dont think he allows Hurny to trade out of that spot unless he is positive he will get a playmaker in return. 99% sure AJ Green is the pick with Smith on his way out in the next year or so. but if Rivera switches our system to a 3-4 and we trade down, look for Robert Quinn to be the pick.

With a rookie cap teams will be more willing to trade up. Im hoping some GM gets a hard on for either Fairley or Green and wants to move up. This isnt like past years where teams had to break the bank to pay for a #1 pick. There will be a rookie cap.

Right now, I can't see a situation that a team will want to trade up to #1 even if a new CBA means much lower salaries for the top picks. The Bills at #3 know there is no sure fire QB worth a top 5 pick in the draft so they may be shopping their pick as much as anyone else and moving up to #3 would cost less than #1.

Unless a situation presents itself (like a player blowing up the combine and another team has to him no matter what), I am not optimistic about trading down.

    • Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership
    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.
