Trading up to 8

[big dog cowboy]

We will find out when we see who goes 8, 9, 10, and 11 and then what happens at 12.

Any desire to take offense should automatically trigger accepting any trade offer they get to move down.

So, would you draft Love?

If…. Every other defensive player with a 1st round grade is gone I would. I remember when we drafted Lamb. Didn’t need a WR defense sucked. And it turned out pretty good

 

[Vinnie2u]

@AsthmaField glad to have you back.

@AsthmaField glad to have you back.

Thanks man. I appreciate that.

I’m a sucker for draft talk!

You can trade 12, 112, and next years 3rd for 8.

It looks like you could get Downs or Delane at 8. You might be able to get Styles, Bain, or Bailey.

Not trading up for a DB. Downs is no Reed/Taylor. Styles and Bailey going top 5. If one of those somehow get to 6 then trade up. They are the only ones worth it.

This is NOT the draft to trade up in the first rd

Yea I think we’re sitting ok.

Get bpa at 12 and maybe trade out of 20

1. Qb
2. Styles
3. Love
4. Francis m
5. David bailey
6. Reese
7. Tate wr
8. Fano
9. Bain
10. Mansoor delane
11. Downs

Ok crap we might want one wide receiver or two to jump.

Delane downs bain Reese and styles all would be big additions. There’s a drop off to seems after that correct everyone ?

Agree that you can maybe wait it out. Don’t agree that McCoy is somebody that should be in consideration. If we get to 9 or 10 and players are flying off the board then I would consider moving up

McCoy is a top 5 draft talent if he is healthy and he makes it to 12 you take it. You don’t pass on a chance at 5 years of a cost controlled player at a position of need.

He’s not a top 5 player in this class

 

[baltcowboy]

He’s not a top 5 player in this class

If he didn’t tear his ACL he would have been.

Points work out (as per trade chart of course which may or may not be meaningful) to trade pick #12, our 4th (#112) and our first 5th (#152) for #9 overall.
That is the trade I would like to see because I think it guarantees one of the top defenders if one assumes they are in on the consensus top defenders. I'd like to keep our 4th but it's a real crap shoot at that point (we haven't had a good 4th since 2022) and the 5th doesn't even give me pause. This is the trade I would like to see us make if the draft falls how I am guessing.

I saw a mock that had Dallas moving up to the saints pick (8) and taking Bain.

New Orleans is strongly looking at WR’s with their first pick, and the teams at 9, 10, and 11 are mostly looking at defensive players. So, there is a good chance that if NO wants a WR at 8, that’s same WR likely will still be there at 12. So it made sense for the Saints.

I'm not sure I buy that. KC and Miami would both be in the market for a WR. I wouldn't be surprised if they both took WRs lol

 

[JBS]

No guarantee of that either. Elite tape in 24 doesn’t equal elite tape in 25. Happens quite often. I’ll pass

 

[gtb1943]

If you stay at 12, most likely bpa is an offensive player.

SO?

Yeah it is possible. I’ve been seeing more mocks with Miami taking a WR

Not saying I would trade up, but if you did, which of those guys are you taking at 8 or 9?
I am a mindset that the only guy I'm trading up for is probably Reese or possibly Bailey.
Pass rusher is a huge need and I think you need guys who can align as both a nickel DE and/or a 3/4 OLB. I think they can do either.

 

[jazzcat22]

Do not trade up.
If anything trade down slightly. Pick up a 2nd, possibly another 3rd round pick.
They can turn 2 - 1st round picks into 2 -1st, a 2nd, and a 3rd, plus the 3rd they got for Osa.

Get 5 players in the top 96.
Unless there is a player that is so absolutely elite to put this defense over the top. do not trade up.

Their #1 right now is Tolbert? Atwell? Yikes!

 

[Floatyworm]

You can trade up to 9 for 12, 112, and 152. I tried this and got Styles at 9. Or you can trade 12 and 92 for 9.

If you are the Chiefs are you really gonna give up Bailey or Bain for a 3rd????? I highly doubt any of them are there.....and if so....No way the Chiefs make that deal.

Yep, a trade has to hurt and benefit both teams.

The realistic move, if a player's there, is to trade with Cleveland: 12,20,112 and 150 for 6 and 39. We get the 1st Rd Grader, pretty much of our choice, and the difference in player between 20 and 39 isnt that marked, due to the high number of 2nd Rd graders.
