Draft Day Trades

Sometimes teams move up because they have their eye on a guy who they think will put them over the top.  Atlant moving up for the WR a few yrs back is an example.

 

There are also other trades, like trades back because the value at your draft position is nothing you have a need for.

 

 

 

 

This year, who do you see moving up or down in the first round?

 

I will start off with two teams on opposite ends of the spectrum.

 

SF has 12 picks, actually 11 now since they gave up a 6th for Gabbert.  With the talent they have on that team, I can see them moving up in several rounds rather than just bringing in 11 new guys, 10 of which might not even make the team.

 

Baltimore has only 4 picks, dropping back would serve them well.

 

Maybe the two of them could get together?

With the Falcons going 3/4, I think they will draft Khalil Mack or Anthony Barr.  They also need to focus on their o-line.  I mean didn't we sack Ryan like eight times? 

 

Yeah, I actually think the Clowney talk was go give them some cover in FA where they went after all 34 D guys.

 

I agree that Mack would be exceptional for them and an OT is a great fallback position for them

Yeah, I think the Falcons will just stay put and pick an OT. Things just aren't the same for them this year -- they're not seen as the team who only needs that one missing piece to go the distance.

 

I'm surprised no one has mentioned what I think is the most obvious trade scenario -- Cleveland moving up to no.2. Chances are, the Browns won't be in love with all 3 of the 'top tier' quarterbacks. You have the resources, now go and get your franchise guy. The Rams can move down and still get one hell of a pickup. It just makes too much sense.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth

      What a Possible Trading Out of 1st Round May* Look Like

      The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on.

      Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
