Wade Said No Receivers In First Round, Interesting

:starspin Well, if Jones does want a "wow" player as he has said he does, then I would say that he will want either a WR or RB. There may be some very good WRs available, but I'm not sure if I'd put them in the "wow" category though. So, perhaps that will lend itself even further to us taking a RB, but unfortunately, I think we'll have to give up too much to go up far enough to take McFadden though. Kevin Smith "could" be an option, but I'm not sure that he would be enough of the "wow" factor to satisfy Jones. Miami appears headed to have the 1st pick, and even if they do take McFadden, they're still going to need a lot more than just him to make their team effective. The smart thing for Miami to do would be to trade that first pick for multiple picks and/or players and try to build their team faster with more picks and players, IMO.

Agree.

I think if a deal is to be made, it will be with Miami. Like you said, they need multiple players, not just 1 guy.

Maybe both 1st rounders, Carpenter, and a 3rd?

I think we are the only team with a pair of first rounders since the Pats lost their own, is that right???

Yes, that's right.

just for reference I have found a listing of draft value charts supposedly used by teams to assure that they get fair value for draft trades. 3000 pts for the 1st pick , 2600, 2200, 1800, 1700 for the 5th pick etc. if we assume that McFadden is the 5th pick we would have to package 1700 points of value for him. Now assuming that we get the 32 pick it's value is 590 or 31 value 600 then the Cleveland pick looks to be in the 18-24 range value 740-900 we would need to add about 200 to 370 points of value for the trade to work.
This would mean adding picks from other rounds for example the 64 pick is valued at 270 the last pick of the third round is valued at 116.
Agreed this is lots of assuming and we know what that usually is worth but it at least give you an idea of the potential amount you might have to give to reach the 5th pick.

I appreciate the research! If McFadden is out of the question, I wouldn't mind drafting a late 1st round RB like Felix Jones or Ray Rice

I don't that's enough for #1 overall.

Yup, that is correct.
