Was just thinking about who would trade up or down and where they would target. Seems to me teams that cold look to trade up for a QB are.....

Raiders, Denver, Cincy, Washington and maybe even the Patriots. Most likely being Washington.

I think if the Redskins want to get a QB, they would have to jump Denver at 10 unless they want to go higher, in which case the Jets have let it be known they want to move down. The Redskins look like the only team picking behind Miami that would move up and it does little good to trade up to 13.

I don't really see many trade down scenarios for Miami unless A) a top 3 QB falls to 13 and the Redskins have not already traded up or...

B) a team like Oakland wants to use one of their lower picks at 24/27 to move up for a player.

Beyond that it would be a team who skipped a QB (ahead of us) in round 1 and wants to move back into the 1st round to get one with a lower pick.

I do think the Dolphins would trade out of the first round if they got a second day pick and a 1st next year.

Other ideas?

1 Arizona Cardinals
2 San Francisco 49ers
3 New York Jets
4 Oakland Raiders
5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
6 New York Giants
7 Jacksonville Jaguars
8 Detroit Lions
9 Buffalo Bills
10 Denver Broncos
11 Cincinnati Bengals
12 Green Bay Packers
13 Miami Dolphins
14 Atlanta Falcons
15 Washington Redskins
16 Carolina Panthers
17 New York Giants from Cleveland [R1 - 1]
18 Minnesota Vikings
19 Tennessee Titans
20 Pittsburgh Steelers
21 Seattle Seahawks
22 Baltimore Ravens
23 Houston Texans
24 Oakland Raiders from Chicago [R1 - 2]
25 Philadelphia Eagles
26 Indianapolis Colts
27 Oakland Raiders from Dallas [R1 - 3]
28 Los Angeles Chargers
29 Kansas City Chiefs
30 Green Bay Packers from New Orleans [R1 - 4]
31 Los Angeles Rams
32 New England Patriots
 
Actually, there will probably be a lot of trading in this draft.

Draft trades for QB selection are typically "draft haul" types of deals.

However, when a draft is loaded with talent there tends to be a lot of volume marginal trading to get scheme specific players. BPA tends to take a back seat in a loaded draft.

While conventional wisdom says there should be less trading due to higher volume of talent, teams are focused on specific high caliber scheme-fit players that are instant starters.

For example, there might be a lot of DL and DBs in this draft. But once you start identifying their natural scheme-fit, you start to realize some players will be in higher demand by particular teams who run those schemes.

So, in a draft such as this, a team looking to trade back can net a few later round picks, possibly a future higher round pick, to drop back several spots but still be in a position to get a value player.

Grier is stock piling resources. But we still have yet to see if he is simply building draft resources for all drafts or if he is targeting a specific draft.

I would not expect us to trade up for any reason. But I could see us trade back a couple of times.

We have a lot of holes. But as important as stock piling picks is making good picks to get the value.

10 draft picks are meaningless if you have only one player to show for it 4 years from now.
 
Any idea on how many non-QB trade-ups have happened in the first round in the last 10 years? Only one I remember is Marcus Davenport but .....

I can only see a trade up for a QB and maybe a DE. I think this draft is too unpredictable.

The next QB project better be elite though or this forum is going to riot
 
Best opportunity for us trading down would be for the top 3 QBs picked

ahead of us. That would mean there have only been 9 other positional

players taken, which allows a player like Hockenson, Oliver or Burns

to fall to #13. Based on that possibility -- someone down below is motivated

to jump on the player knowing they are coming off the board like right now!

However, the more I look at that scenario, the more it seems we're in "no mans

land" -- stuck with a pick that really doesn’t have sufficient jazz to warrant

a trade up... That makes the little nibble trade down scenario more viable

but again -- what's that really going to net us in return for passing on our pick?

Highest likelihood is that we stay put and land a very good player -- most likely

DL then go OL R2.

Of course -- I reserve the right to be wrong!

I see picks 1,5, and 9 as the 3 potential hot spots in front of us
 
if 3 QB's go top 10 then some players will drop to us at 13. There's going to be a few teams that might want to trade up for a DE or for one of the top Corners if one falls. This is a very unpredictable draft right now so it's hard to say who might want to move up or down. We'll know more a couple of days ahead of the draft.
 
I wonder if the Raiders want to move up to number 1...with the draft capital they have what if they could move up, take the coveted QB and put Carr on the block to grab some draft capital back....

too weird?

If this happened.... Would you trade for Carr?

In a single word... NO

Expanded version... We have our veteran QB already. I would be pissed if we traded for Carr. I want to see us get the entire roster better and be in a position to draft a QB be it this draft or the next. Cant do that giving away or draft capital for someone else's garbage. I also dont see us doing that anyway.
