Re: Trade down scenarios

I just don't think Harper is tradable. But, if we can get an extra few picks... mainly a second, we can draft a safety like Reed (late 1st) or Cyprien (2nd round... if we can acquire one).

You can replace Harper with Jenkins. We need more of a coverage strong safety anyway.

A part of me really does hope we can trade down in this draft. I think we can get more value later in the first round.

Saints Pick. D J Fluker OT
#34 Alex Okeafor OLB

I don't think I'd go for their 25. 23 or bust. If they want Austin, they will pay up. Then I'd be open to trading down with the Niners as well. Anyway...

#25 ILB Alec Ogletree
#52 OLB Jamie Collins or DL Jesse Williams or OL Kyle Long or S Eric Reid
#75 NT Johnathan Jenkins
#109 OT Jordan Mills
#144 SS Robert Lester
#183 CB Tharold Simon

I like it. Although I would be more interested in the safeties... Reed or Cyprien.

Heck, we may as well go all the way and really give the secondary a new look.

Reid, or Rambo...... if we fix our LT issue before the draft, I would trade down for a second, and a fourth....

Baccari Rambo or Jesse Williams
Datone Jones
Jamie Collins

But he's an exception! But we need difference makers and i see Datone Jones more solid than dynamic! Margus Hunt scares me cause he could be a bad bust or a superstar who knows nobody has been his size and played d line plus short arms for 6'8 and so I'm not sure backup plan as an offensive tackle is a possibility. BEING TALL IS A DISADVANTAGE BEING A DEFENSIVE LINEMAN #LEVERAGE LOW MAN WINS! Also I love B Williams he'll be there in the 3rd hopefully! But we have to trade a couple players for some picks! I would only trade down for a haul!

I'd never take Datone Jones at 15 you are right to high.... but I am talking about trading out of 15 which seem all to easy right now.... Minnesota you could straight pick, or you maybe able to get extra picks from San Fran who is a likely partner... Datone is your guy in that setup, I come back in the second grab my FS Baccarri Rambo (Georgia) and grab my left Tackle in the third Terron Armstead!!!

Re: Trade down scenarios

What's the chance of them taking Tavon Austin or the safety from texas Vaccaro if there at 15?
They have been known to take the best player available and it almost for sure that the 3 coveted LT's won't be there, just asking for everyone's thoughts.

Vaccaro makes more sense, though. With that said, the best thing to do is skip these guys and trade down.

We use out first round on Mingo.

Re: Trade down scenarios

i really hate round one all together. everyone needs to move down 10 picks or so. there are 2 maybe 3 players that really belong in the top ten.

trade if you can and if you can not thank god for the new draft salary set up.

Re: Trade down scenarios

Not having a second rd pick is a particularly bitter pill to swallow in this draft. Because of the depth of defensive players and our pressing needs it is possible that we could really benefit trading down and recouping a 2nd rd pick.

Re: Trade down scenarios

If we come away from the draft with Rambo and a LT I'll be stoked.
