Trading Down From 9

#17

(04-06-2020, 05:58 AM)The Real Marty Wrote: I think if there are several players we like still on the board at 9, and we think we can land them a few picks later, then sure, we should trade down.  Like if I was the GM and by some chance Brown and Kinlaw are still on the board, and the Jets told me they weren't taking either one of those, then sure, I would not mind trading down.  

That's the other part of the equation.  Not only why would some teams trade up, and what we would get in return, but also, why would we trade down, other than just accumulating draft picks.   9 is a premium draft pick.  I wouldn't want to give it up unless I thought  I could still get my guy.
But this is part of my argument defending Caldwell against not trading down in the first-a constant criticism from his detractors on this board.  Not trading down in the first netted us Ramsey and Allen.  Trading down in the first cost the Browns Carson Wentz and the Bills Watson and Mahomes.

This is from the Albert Breer article linked earlier in the thread.


Quote: My belief is that, really, 11 players are sort of hovering around the top of the class—three quarterbacks (Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert), four defensive players (Chase Young, Jeff Okudah, Derrick Brown and Isaiah Simmons) and four tackles (Mekhi Becton, Tristan Wirfs, Andrew Thomas and Jedrick Wills). South Carolina DL Javon Kinlaw or one of the top two receivers might sneak into that crowd on draft day, based on different teams’ preferences, but that’s what I see as the top group.

I think this is accurate, in which case, I trade down from nine only if:  a) it's s short enough drop to still land one of these players; and/oor b) it's worth our while to move down below that point.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
