Trade (DOWN) Prediction Thread!
Ok guys...we have spent so much time trying to identify who we take at pick #22...but what if we DON'T pick there??? Lets assume for this thread that we TRADE BACK.
First ---- WHICH TEAM do we trade with? Justify why you could see this team being a trade partner for us and moving up in the draft to our spot.
Second ---If you wanna get crazy with your prediction - predict the details - Who is that team targeting? If we trade back and remain in the 1st round - who are we targeting? What are the details of the trade? Is it just picks or are players involved?
Lets have fun with this. If we do trade down it would be cool to see who got the closest to predicting it!!!
PREDICT THE TRADE DOWN!!!
------------------------------------------------------------
My prediction:
Trade partner - Steelers.
The Steelers desperately need a LB. They have two 3rd round picks. If there is a LB at our pick and they think we/someone else might take him...maybe they exploit our need for more picks and move up to get him themselves? I could see them targetting Foster, Reddick, Davis, or Watt and having "their' guy could be worth the small sacrifice. Harrison is 39 ****ing years old and we took Timmons from them. They also need DL and TE. I could see them making this move for those reasons as well.
If we traded with them I could see us getting back our 3rd round pick we gave up last year (ideally their pick #94) and it would be sick to have (2) 3rd rounders so close together. 94 and 97! If we swap 1sts, pick up their 3rd then it would be within approx. 50 pts in draft trade calculator value. I'd take that trade straight up without anything else personally.
I would hope we pick up Watt or Willis if we move back to #30.
