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

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:

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

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.

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
