Quote:Assuming the trade down range for the Jaguars is from 5-31 (5 representing Washington, and 31 representing a package deal with the Saints), what players would you target at those spots?

 

For me, if we dealt down to 5-7, I'd still consider the same guys I considered at 6 at edge rusher, whomever is left between Cooper or White, or even the best T on the board (beginning to wonder if La'El Collins will rank up there by draft day).  In a scenario where we traded down with the Jets, I could see the top 5 picks going like this

 

1.  Tampa-Winston

2.  Tennessee-Williams

3.  NYJ (from Jax)-Mariota

4.  Oakland-(Cooper/White)

5.  Washington (Scherff/best T/or Edge)

 

Which would leave us with a choice of Fowler, or at worst the second best LEO prospect, the second best WR prospect between Cooper and White, or maybe the top T prospect).

 

If we end up with a pick from between 10-13 (St. Louis, Cleveland, New Orleans), Trae Waynes, a Tackle, or possibly even RB becomes a consideration.

 

 

 

19 (Cleveland)...Eddie Goldman, Marcus Brown, Andrus Peat, Landon Collins, Melvin Gordon and Devante Parker are all considerations.

 

31 (New Orleans)...Melvin Gordon, Todd Gurley, a corner, maybe Bernardrick McKinney

 

You are right.   There are two halves of this question: who wants to trade up, and what is the price.  

 

Todd McShay has us taking Amari Cooper at #3.   But then, a lot of people say Kevin White is just as good a prospect as Cooper.   And a lot of people are saying Beasley is just as good or better than Fowler.   So if we can trade down as far as #7 and still have a player left on the board that we could have easily picked at #3, how much would we charge the other team in the trade?  

 

If we think Fowler, Beasley, Cooper, and White are all interchangeable, then I would trade for as little as a 3rd round pick.   If we insist on something other teams are not willing to give up, then we end up with nothing.
