Interesting. Who would they want? Jordan?

At #3!!! WOW if true I can't believe it. I guess it has to be Jordan.

 

[supercowboy8]

I would think Jordan, they need a pass rusher

Wait so if 1 player is there the Raiders WON'T do the trade, but take that player instead? Or is the other way around and Atlanta is only doing the deal of 1 player is there?

only doing deal if one player they want is there at 3

 

[jblaze2004]

wow atl is putting all there eggs in the basket these last couple of drafts lol

might loose good depth with so many trade ups especially big trade ups

 

[Teague31]

For them to move up to 3 will cost a fortune. Not worth it

I'd imagine they want to get in front of the Eagles as well. I don't think he'd be worth a blockbuster trade

3rd pick is worth: 2200 points

Falcons 30th is worth 620, their 2nd is worth 300, third is worth 124. So there top 3 picks are worth less than half of the total needed. (1044)

So they'd have to give up 3 picks next year, or the first and 2nd and a major player to even be close.

Color me skeptical.

I dont see a move that makes them better than SF or Sea.

Does Atlanta have a player they could add to the deal? That's the only way it would make sense. This is probably a rumor that never happens.

The trade value chart is a nice guideline, but its hardly concrete. If the Raiders really want to get out of the pick they have to take what they can get. Plus it says players could be involved, no idea who that could be but it should obviously help. 1st and 2nd in this year and next year + Jacquizz and Massaquoi (purely speculation on my part) might be hard for the Raiders to pass up if they really aren't in love with anybody in this draft.

If im the Raiders i do this trade no matter what. they need help everywhere.

Pretty certain it's hinging on the Falcons. If the player they want is there, they would do the deal. The Raiders really have no say.

 

[Leadbelly]

I'm guessing they want to select Jadeveon Clowney. Someone should tell them he's not in this year's draft.

I don't see it without giving up at least three 1sts and I don't see many sure things this year. Bust the pick and you might as well trade Matt Ryan. He'll be 31/32 before you can make another significant draft pick.

2013 - all picks
2014 - 1st and 2nd rounder
2015 - 1st rounder

They're just trying to get the ratings up for tv.

What are you talking about? Some kind of hostile takeover?

Gotta be defense they gave up 419 pts last year.

The Falcons cut their starting RT and their top backup signed as a Free Agent with the Patriots.

Who's the player they're going to trade? You know it's not Roddy, Julio, Ryan or Gonzalez. Wonder if they're shopping Sean Witherspoon so they don't have to give him a second contract? Pure Speculaton but for the Raiders this has to be a reverse of fortunes because they're the team in love with trading future picks, I'd make this trade and rebuild my franchise.
