MrJL Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 People, it is very hard to trade to acquire more picks...and just because the points add up, doesn't mean the other team is willing to do it. I doubt we accumulate any extra picks at all...just my guess. To try to predict these things is pretty much a waste of time. every trade that is pulled off involves people acquiring more picks. People don;t just swap picks around for the hell of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flock53 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 mmmm I doubt this happens....I don't see why the Lions would trade there 2nd rounder to move up 7 spots...i say this bc i am not sold that sanchez is there at 13 Agree, Millen isnt there anymore.

peanut0862 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 The Lions were last in the NFL in points allowed at 32 a game and in total yards at 404. They hire Jim Schwartz so I don't think they're going to be spending 2 first rounds draft picks on the offence. So for this to happen we need them to pick Curry, Orakpo or Raji with their first and for Sanchez or Stafford to fall to 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justsomeguy Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Stafford or Sanchez one or the other should still be there at 13 but even then I don't see a trade happening on their behalf anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Acre Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 According to the draft trade chart, our best value for trading down would be with Minnesota, their #22 and #54 are worth 1140, while our #13 is worth 1150. Draft trade charts are stupid. A simple idea for simple people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Acre Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 "1st rd QB's are not supposed to be game managers. JC's a game manager. 1st rd QB's are supposed to be elite. He's not. If we wanted a game manager, we could have used the picks we gave up for him, to get offensive linemen for a game manager" WORD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.T.real,lights,out Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Sorry, but i dont see why anyone would wanna trade up to the 13th spot unless someone really big fell to us. But i dont see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdaddy Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 It seems like, sitting at #13, we are in an ideal spot to deal with someone. #13 is not in the top 10 (in regards to salary pay out) but a guy who could have gone in the top 10 could fall to #13. I would expect more than a couple of teams wanting to move into our slot. And, it wouldn't surprise me if the Eagles were one of them. They have a ton of draft picks of which we could really use. I could see the Eagles offering #21 and a 2nd rounder for our pick at 13. Then, the Eagles could go best available at #13 (based on their needs) and still have the #28 pick in the first round. For those of you thinking the Eagles would never trade with a division opponent, think back to when they traded their 1st round pick to Dallas a few years ago.

RWJ Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Possible trade down partners: Jets or Colts.

chaught76 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 If Detroit is our trading partner, then either they took a OT with the first overall pick and QB or someone else fell they want OR they took a QB and one of the 4 top OL fell. If the latter happens, I am more skeptical about us trading back unless Detroit really sweetens the pot by giving us their 1.20 pick and their 2.33 pick, but I doubt that happens with all their needs. So, if the first option occurs, Detroit would get 1.13 and Redskins get 1.20 and 3.65. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicrodjr Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I would love to trade out of #13 and acquire another pick!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flock53 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Stay put at #13. After thinking about it A.Smith could fall. A) Take Smith if he falls Take Robert Ayers and have a young DE at 6'3" 270 is good size to play run too. C) Trade down to still get William Beatty. I wouldnt care if Knowshone or Wells were selected either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously thought we had a chance if Sanchez fell to us, but they picked up a QB via free agency. *Edit: just for clarity that would be us receiving their 1st and 2nd and them moving up to our 1st. Hopefully that is doable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsSyco4Life Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 For those that just do not get it....... The team looking to trade up will give up more in trade value than the team trading down if the price is right. In respect to the OP his trade scenario would work. But I think the deal would be better if we traded down in exchange for the Lions pick at #20 and their 2 third round picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we try to use the lower two of the three thirds we would have to move into the second? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
