Quote:None..... No one would be calling to trade up with us for either QB because Oakland at 4(the pick after ours) Doesn't need a QB. If one or both QB's were there at 3 then no one would call us because there is no fear that Oakland or even us(The Jaguars) would draft 'em(Winston or in this case Mariota). If any trade were to happen to grab a QB it would be for the number 4 spot with Oakland because Washington at 5 is a reasonable threat to draft one.

 

However I believe if we had any chance at trading down the target would be for either Williams from USC, or one of the WR's Cooper or White because Oakland could reasonably be in the mix to draft one of them. And if any team is in love with either prospect then they would want to "leap frog" Oakland.

 

P.S. Teams don't trade up to "leap frog" another team by 2 or 3 spots especially in the 1st round let alone in the top 5 of the draft. They try to "leap frog" the other team by 1. Look at the 2014 draft when the bills "leap frogged" over the Oakland raiders to grab Sammy Watkins at number 4. They didn't want the Raiders to take him before they could so they traded up. That's usually how it works. Teams don't trade for the number 3 spot so that number 5 doesn't draft them. They'll strike a deal with the number 4 spot a save just a little bit extra for themselves.

 

With all this being said I hope we draft a WR at 3, Cooper or White (doesn't really matter to me because I believe they both will be good pros) for BB5 or we trade down.

 

Sure.   They strike a deal with #4 to get ahead of #5.   But then why wouldn't someone strike a deal with #3 to get ahead of #4?  Besides, what if it was cheaper to do a deal with #3 than to do a deal with #4?    Like I said earlier, if we think we can trade down and still get a player we would have been happy drafting at #3, then we wouldn't need to ask a whole lot to make that trade.
