Quote:I think the point is the higher you pick generally the more you get in return. IE Jets win one more game they have 4 wins, say TB win one by a miracle, 3 wins. We're picking first with 2 Wins.


The Jets finally realise that Geno Smith and Michael Vick aren't the answer, and that Jameis Winston brings so much trouble he will get completely destroyed in NY. So they want Mariota, but they know TB will pick him so they trade up with us, because we know the stakes we can charge a ransom.


It's basic supply and demand.

 

Slow down buddy. The Jets finish against the Patriots and Dolphins so I don't see them winning another game. They can't afford to waste two picks just to move up to #1 for a quarterback. If anyone wants to trade up for the top pick, there better be extra picks and/or few holes to fill. BTW Michael Vick is a dog killer and the Jets previously had Plaxico Burress so I highly doubt they would care about Jameis Winston's off-field behavior.

 

Tampa Bay's last two games are against the Packers and Saints, so I can't predict another win for the Buccaneers either. But if somehow they do beat the Saints (the Packers almost never struggle against crappy teams), they will pick after all 2-14 teams. Therefore they would want to trade with any 2-14 team, not just us (in the unlikely event we lose on Thursday). Do you really think the Raiders will win another game?
