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.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
