What Would It Take For Carolina to Trade Out of the 1st Round?

[chknwing]

Just curious, what would a team have to give up? Falcons, Saints and Raiders, none have a 1st round pick this year. Also, as funny as it is, The raiders dont pick until the 5th round.

A high 2nd and 3rd this year and a 1st next year

It would take something of value at the 9th spot worth trading up for. As of now, nothing exists past the 5th pick. Here's to an incredible combine.

Now you've done it

If we do trade down (which I wouldn't mind at all), it better not be to a spot any lower than the mid to late teens while picking up a 3rd or so.

We could trade down to pick #16-18 and pick up an additional 2nd round pick.

I would do this in a heart beat if someone offered. #16 in the NYJ, and we made a draft day trade with them, when they traded up for Revis, and we ended up with Beason and Kalil with our picks.

i keep going back to that scenario where the bengals give up their two first rounders for our first.

that would suffice.

ideally it would be with some dumb and desperate team willing to give up their 1st, 2nd, and 4th this year as well as their 1st and 4th next year...but no team is that dumb or desperate, are they?

:lol:

[chknwing]

y would the bengals do this?

[Ruff]

It'd take a lot.

A really high 2nd and 3rd this year, and maybe even a 1st and 3rd next year.

To trade OUT of the first from #8 or 9: this year's 2nd, 3rd, next year's 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Dropping from #8 or 9 all the way down to (I'm going to assume high in the 2nd just so it's not completely ludicrous) mid 30s to early 40s would be VERY costly. Just for the Falcons to move up from #27 to #6 (21 spots) it cost a 2nd, a 4th, next year's 1st and 4th. To move up 25-35 spots, completely out of the 1st round, asking for a 3rd and next year's 1st, 2nd 3rd would almost be considered a bargain comparatively. In case it wasn't obvious, I'm not including the trading-up-teams' pick they're moving up from (in the Browns-Falcons trade the #27 overall, in our theoretical scenario the high 2nd round pick) because that's defined in the "moving up" part of it. The cost is the extra they have to give up for the player, in addition to their original pick.

I'd jump at the opportunity, since there looks to be some good value on defense at the top of the 2nd (at LB, DT, CB) but it'd take a REALLY desperate team to make that offer.

People only make those kind of jumps for playmakers. QB's and WR's are the main target.

Unless RGIII or Blackmon drops to us, then forget such a trade. I mean, you see someone giving up the farm for Rieff? DeCastro? Coples? Still? That is who we will have to choose from at 8/9

^^While I agree it's doubtful, just wait until the combine when someone blows it up like Julio did last year. If by some miracle Richardson/Blackmon/QB fell that far, I could see a team doing it.

I can see Sannu making a big push at the Combine. He's already a late first round guy with a slow 40ty. If he shows good at the Combine with good numbers then he could make a push to be a the second rated WR in the draft. Another possibility is Wright (top 15 rated right now) if he shows faster then his expected 4.44 or his a bit taller then expected that would push him up into the top 10.

At QB a team could fall in love with Tannehill if he shows at the Combine. If he runs his expected 4.5 and shows off a good arm and good touch. Bam he's a top 10 guy sitting there at 8-9 and I'm sure a team that needs a QB would trade up for him.
