Trade down Scenerio

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.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.

    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
