Handicapping the 1st Round

[CowboyChris]

Here is a list of players that I'm 100% sure will go before us

1. Saquon Barkley
2. Sam Darnold
3. Josh Rosen
4. Quentin Nelson
5. Bradley Chubb
6. Minkah Fitzpatrick
7. Denzel Ward
8. Tremaine Edmunds
9. Josh Allen
10. Derwin James
11. Baker Mayfield
12. Roquan Smith
13. Lamar Jackson

That leaves the following list of players that could be had for a possible trade up that wouldn't cost an arm and leg, probably our #19 and a 3rd maybe a 4th. So in this scenario who would you guys want?

Vita Vea
D'Ron Payne
Marcus Davenport
Calvin Ridley
Jaire Alexander
Conner Williams
Leighton Vande Esch
Rashaan Evans
James Daniels

It's possible some of those players might be there at 19, are any of them worth a small trade up? I'm fairly sure that's how the draft will play out in front of us.

If you're 13 are taken and then the next 5 include Vea, Payne, Davenport, Evans, and Ridley....I'm trading down, unless I'm forgetting someone not in the OP.

I know there's a contingent here that likes either LVE or Moore at 19. That's a bit rich for me though.

 

[cowboyec]

the probability of 5 QBs going ahead of us means a good player will get pushed down to us.
I think it'll be Alabama DT DaRon Payne.
I could be wrong but I think the Dolphins will get a QB....which will push Edmunds and Vea down the board....which drops Payne into our hands at 19....Skins get Vea,Chargers get Edmunds...we get Payne.

bottom line....somebody we like should be there...whether its Payne or somebody else.

I'm pretty sure the 13 I outlined will be gone, the only one I'm not sure is Jackson, but it really doesn't matter on him, the point is... are any of those players worth the trade up? I'm also pretty sure we are not trading in the top 10 for any of those top 13 players either.

 

[StarHead69]

I’d be happy with any of those guys at #19, probably try to trade down a few spots (especially if someone wanted Ridley).

I think one of those 5 mentioned will fall to us.

I guess if, by semi miracle, Vea fell to 17, I might offer the fair trade of 19, 116, and 193 (or 208)
Im not tradi g up otherwise.

But if Payne was also still there, I might just wait it out anyway

 

[Dylan88Wilson]

Vea is the only player named worth a trade up.

At 19, we’ll likely be looking at:

D.J. Moore
Harold Landry
Leighton Vander Esch
Rashaan Evans
Da’Ron Payne

...

Mike McGlinchey
Connor Williams
Taven Bryan
James Daniels

...

Kolton Miller
Christian Kirk

Connor Williams intrigues me cause he is projected to play OG in the NFL, which we have a huge need at LG not too mention if we can't lock up Martin next year.

 

[Hardline]

Vita Vea belongs in the 100% before 19 category.

Martin is going no where.

If it plays out the way you say with first 13, count me out for trading up. Nothing left is worth it, I can make salad at 19 (lol).

 

[bodi]

I been hearing more about Taven Bryan

 

[TwoDeep3]

I prefer Davenport or Vea. But for the sake of this exercise, Rashan Evans would be worth a move. But I suspect you'd need to move above the Chargers. So four slots. What does that cost.

If it is a 4th and maybe another later round, then do it. A third is still too valuable for four slots to me.

Cue the people with the accountant visors and arm garters along with their charts to tell me I am insane. That ship sailed many years ago on this site, boys.
