Schefter: "Picks 3-16 All Trying To Trade Back"

Promises to be an active, unpredictable draft. One NFL GM went so far as to say today, "Picks 3-16 are all trying to trade back."

This is what hurts us more than anything. Everyone and their dog is trying to trade back, there's tooo much competition to do it. We might be locked in at 13 if this is true.

I believe that we want to trade back, but will be unable to, just like most of those other teams sitting there.

No surprise to me. The draft is not loaded with talent and the different between the talent level is not big at all.

When you get a draft where a player you can select at 11 or 12 is only marginally better overall than a player you can select at 30 or 31 teams are going to want to move back.

One big thing for us is that we sit one slot ahead of the Cowboys, who have said they are big on Barron. Behind them we have had the Eagles, the Chargers and possibly the Jets/Patriots that could use some safety help.

They also love DeCastro (and my gut feel is we pass on him even if he is there) and a team like Cincinnati might be keen to trade up with one of their first rounders and maybe a 2nd, maybe a 3rd to get above Dallas for DeCastro.

Simple economics people

Supply vs demand.

There will be an oversupply of top 13 picks wanting to move back.

Therefore any team wanting to move up will get a bargin, as you cannot ask for too much, as you can trade with anyone.

Means if Kalil slides, we could offer 1st and 3rd and possibly move up.

This is great for us, if we want him.

if we dont, just sit still, less stress that way.

There are rumblings now out of San Diego that the Chargers could be interested in trading down to secure the rights to Alabama safety Mark Barron.

If Barron gets past Buffalo at 10, we might have a shot at getting down. Anyone looking at Barron would absolutely have to get ahead of Dallas at 14.

The question is how far ahead of Dallas do you have to go?

NYJ want him to apparently.

Anyone from 11 onwards is a reasonable trade target.

Just have to ask for enough, but not too much to scupper the deal.

If you are SD and know Dallas is at 14.

Barron gets past Bills at 10, do you go to 11 to get him, or do you wait?

If i love a player that much I make the move to go high, make sure i get him, waiting means you get trumped by someone else, take control of the situation.
