TL-TwoWinsAway Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 @Karnage84 @Sllim Pickens @BigC421/ @Louis Friend @LionArkie @Bishop86 @Lionized Alright. Big one. Tampa Bay is interested in the below trade: Detroit Lions receive: #14 (1,100) Tampa Bay Buccaneers receive: #35 (550), #37 (530), #168 (23) = 1,103 The TVC value is nearly exact, and would give us one of a bunch of near-elite prospects. (My personal favorite is 65, but we'd be guaranteed one of 65, 21, 16 or even 38. Someone.) Looking at it this way: it would almost be like we took Okudah at #3 and one of these prospects fell to pick #35. That's one heck of a deal.

We could walk away with 65 and really blow this thing open. (Okudah and 65 would be an absolutely nasty draft. Championships, people.) The real question is - would that lead us to a championship? As much as I like the player (and I do), I feel like the difference between him and players like 54 or 38 or even 71 aren't worth giving up two other guys that could be difference makers.

Looking at it this way: it would almost be like we took Okudah at #3 and one of these prospects fell to pick #35. That's one heck of a deal. I have mixed feelings on this. Do we go with top end talent here or wait and see what falls? There is still a lot of good talent that would normally go in the first of other drafts to be had in the second. We have a lot of holes to fill. With that being said, that is a nice trade. Personally, I know you love 65, but I'm not there for that position group. With the two seconds, I'd feel better about spending one of the picks on that group or would prefer to wait until the third. I might be in the minority, but that's where I'm at.

I'll hold off on pushing him at #24, but I'd really hope that, if he falls to #35, you guys would have my back in grabbing him there. I am pro 42 - as either a late 1st and definitely at #35.

It’s a tough call for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionArkie Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) I will also say I have an absolute man crush on 21. I think he is going to end up being one of the first picks in a couple of years on a redraft. But would I rather have, lets say 6 and 13 in the second than 21? I think I would.

TL-TwoWinsAway Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Alright. They want to move down one spot and offer pick #15. As a result, the 5th round pick would be removed. We have to remember: we would be taking a player at #15 for picks #35 and #37. In other words: it's essentially that whatever player we draft at #15 would have fallen to pick #35, and we didn't trade down from #3. I think it's a great opportunity to land a near-elite prospect.

TL-TwoWinsAway Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 And we'd still have 2 3rd round picks, 2 4th round picks and 2 5th round picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one way to look at it - #37 is playing with house money. 1 minute ago, LionArkie said: I could compromise with 42 at 35 unless some magic way 85 falls there. Then I want 85. I actually don't really like 85 for some reason. Maybe I need to watch him some more. He just doesn't feel right to me. I smell bust.

LionArkie Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 @TL-TwoWinsAway How much time do we have to make the decision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TL-TwoWinsAway Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 There are four picks between pick #11 (on the clock right now) and pick #15 (the pick being offered). If we entered this mock leaving with Okudah and "__" (21, 16, 65, 38), without giving up extra draft picks, what would you think about that draft?
