My hope is Miami (#26) or Philly (#21) jumps and trades for Yan. Then use that pick to get a team that wants to trade up to gain more picks this year or next. If not make the pick. BPA.

We're going to be forced to pick from a tier of players who are a large gap in skill from the players going in the few picks ahead of us.

If we want to trade up we need to do it for a franchise LT not one of the WRs. There will be good WRs to be had day 2 or the mid rounds
Good ones yes, great ones no. Giving up something like an extra 3rd and 4th to go from good to great is what we have all these extra picks for.

A Rob, Michael Thomas, Diggs, Landry, Sutton, AJ Brown, Metcalf, Hill, Thielen, McLaurin, Godwin etc.. Most of the best WRs in the league are drafted out of the 1st round. If they felt one is elite than go for it but I dont think any are Fitz., Megatron, Jones, Green, Blackmon, Evans et. I think there would be much better value in getting one of Wirfs Becton or Thomas and getting a WR in the 2nd like Higgins, Shenault etc. than trading up for one of those WRs. Def. wouldnt trade a 3rd and 4th to get one. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

Draft Wirfs or Thomas or Wills at 9 and then trade up for whichever of the 3 falls to 14 or 15. Or Henderson or Kinlaw too any of them is fine. Just don't sit at 20 and take one of the top player after that big tier drop.

I agree we shouldn't force a pick. But if we were going based on the quality and depth/lack thereof at the positions, NT (D. Brown or Kinlaw) would be the choice at 9, followed by CB. If somehow we miss out on them, I am hoping for Fotu perhaps in the 3rd. There is also basis for agreement to be found in your closing paragraph. Barring an absolutely extraordinary draft, there is little chance of all 12 picks (and possibly more with additional trades making this team, much less upgrading the positions they represent. Extra picks are as much for maneuverability as picking talent. My wishful thoughts of the day is making a pick at 9 that not only benefits us but makes it more likely Cleveland or the Jets are willing to trade back, and then we trade up from 20 to get another player we are targeting right behind 9. Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!

I recall a Caldwell interview earlier this year (perhaps at the combine) where he seemed to emphasize the goal this draft was to get immediate impact. Shortly thereafter, he traded away Bouye, Campbell and Foles. I just have this lingering suspicion he has at least a couple of guys in the 9-15 range he is targeting. We know Caldwell has traditionally traded up in the second round because it is typically cheaper than it is trading up in the first. But most years, we pick in the top ten and only have one pick in the first, with a standard allotment of one pick in each round. But trading up from 20 into the middle of the first round, I submit, would be more economical than trading up from say 7 into the top 5, and given the extra picks in the mid rounds, is more affordable than what would ordinarily be the case.

If the guy we want fell to us despite not trading up, it's a win. We could use the picks we didn't trade then to move up later or just pick more players. But the more I think about it, the more I support moving up from 20. Cleveland is reportedly interested in trading back. While trading up to about 15 is certainly more cost effective, trading up to ten would be doable too, especially if Yan is traded pre draft. The exact same move last year cost Pittsburgh their second round pick last year and a 3rd round pick this year. https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/2019/04...rst-round/ Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!

But I have a couple of caveats. First, the player who falls unexpectedly may or may not be a system fit for you. 2. By not trading up, you put your hope in the other teams not taking your guy(s) before you. But I agree you don't trade up just to trade up. It has to make sense from a draft board perspective and it has to make sense from a draft pick compensation perspective.(04-08-2020, 03:59 PM)Upper Wrote: As I posted in the 20th pick feels like no man's land thread, I do not think that whoever we want will be there at 20. We're going to be forced to pick from a tier of players who are a large gap in skill from the players going in the few picks ahead of us. Regarding your second, I disagree about an absolute rule against trading up for a WR. While I agree this is a very deep draft at the position, and we can fill the position later in the draft if necessary if the coaches feel the new offense needs a special type of receiver-one that won't be there at 20-then we should move up if it is affordable to do so. The 49ers traded up for Jerry Rice. The Falcons traded up for Julio Jones. The Vikings traded up the day before the draft and wound up with Randy Moss. Sometimes trading up for a receiver is the right thing to do. We have the picks to move up, and there are enough receivers in this draft to still get one later. Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!

Given how deep this class is, we don't know which ones will end up great but wich ones won't, but we can look at the traits of each player and extrapolate whether that player's skills and ability will be available later. We know Ruggs was the fastest player at the NFL combine. By definition, no other combine measured receiver ran that fast. The prevailing thought is Ruggs will not be there at 20. If Gruden wants an absolute field stretcher, we will have to move up to get him. Similarly, if Gruden requires a great route runner, the consensus is that the very best route runner is Jerry Jeudy. The prevailing thought is that Jeudy won't be around at pick 20. Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
One thing we need to consider is that all these GMs will be working at home during the draft and they won't have all that war room infrastructure available to them. This might handicap them from making sudden first round trades that haven't been worked out before hand.
I could see the usual number of overnight trades between rounds. But to pull off an unplanned trade in the middle of the first round when the GMs are sitting at home by themselves? I could see a lot of hesitation there.

This might handicap them from making sudden first round trades that haven't been worked out before hand. I am sure GMs will often discuss the general parameters of potential trades beforehand under normal circumstances. They may not get into specifics-like which player they are interested in, but they may discuss generally how interested they are in moving and what they would look for to move up/down. With the reliance on the technology taken to a whole new level this year, and given how complex some trades can get, with possibly no guarantee of extra time allotted to execute the trades, teams will have to move fast. I'm sure more pre draft work/collaboration between GMs will happen this year. Teams will have to be more decisive this year to pull off trades and haggling may be limited, especially rounds 3-7 since there are only 5 minutes between picks. Edit: Here is a quote from Tampa's GM Jason Licht about adapting to the circumstances...https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/04/10/bucs-g-m-ready-to-phone-it-in-if-need-be/ That said, for those of you who think we already have more picks than we can use, consider the following hypothetical: Suppose the GMs shared Caldrac's concern about the QBs in this draft class and the top 8 went something like this 1. Cin-Burrow 2. Was-Chase Young 3. Det-Okudah 4. NYG-Wills 5. Mia-Wirfs 6. LAC-Thomas 7. Car-Brown 8. Ariz-Becton Suppose also that pre draft work showed three prospects linked to the Jaguars-Simmons, Kinlaw and Henderson-have some sort of publicly undisclosed medical and/or character issues that make the Jaguars more reluctant to select them at 9 for whatever reason. What would you do if you are Caldwell under these circumstances? Would you take a flyer on one of the QBs? Would you take the receiver of your choice? Would you reach for another player? Or would you relent and trade back? Please explain your answer. Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!

But then again, perhaps our operational definitions of "flyer" differs. But accepting your interpretation of that word at face value, what would you do if you won't take one of the QBs, the players you would have otherwise wanted are now off your board, and what is left are either receivers (a position most on these boards are loathe to take that high, especially in a generationally deep WR class) or players deemed reaches at the position?

Kinlaw because he fills a huge need and is the second highest rated DT and I would take Lamb because I feel he is going to be special and I want to give Minshew the best possible chance ro succeed. |
