Well, ok. For me, most of the prospects I like this year are in rounds 6 and 7. The guys I like may not pan out (they are 6th and 7ths after all), and they will certainly lack something (experience, gaudy stats, height/weight/speed, low-level of competition, injury, etc). Nevertheless, i am interested in them. Guys like: WR Jeff Thomas ILB Mykal Walker OT Jon Runyan RB Reggie Corbin RB JaMycal Hasty TE Jacob Breeland G/T Yasir Durant G Gage Cervenka CB Nevelle Clarke Edited April 15, 2020 by OneTwoSixFive 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They report like 5 picks at a time and really only one player gets a breakdown. Half of the picks are made while they're on commercial break.

Shanedorf Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 OTC with an article about the GMs and how they move around, including Das Gute They break it down into various categories, up, down, all around or not much at all https://overthecap.com/analyzing-draft-trades-current-gm-trends/ Brian Gutekunst, Green Bay Packers (3 Up, 1 Down). It is very early in his tenure, but Gutekunst has certainly broken off from the traditional Packers mold, being aggressive in free agency and making big first-round Trade-Ups in his first two seasons. Gutekunst had a slam dunk Trade-Down with the Saints in 2018 that netted an extra 1st in 2019 along with pick No. 24. He promptly moved back up and nabbed Jaire Alexander at No. 18 overall. He followed that up with a move up to No. 21 in 2019 to take Darnell Savage. Long story short, Gutekunst isn’t going to just wait around for his picks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it seems like they seldom break down the Packers picks. Although, this is mostly 3rd round and on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you explain what you mean by 'upper tier' ? Is it a) High in the draft (the earlier picks). b) Later in the draft (towards the end of the round picks). c) the early part of (as you perceive it) a particular tier of players, all similarly valued.

No need to break it down so severely. I rattled off that post in about 10 seconds. The thought I was conveying was I found TT didnt move up for talent frequently. Did he do it? Yes - it wasnt an absolute statement - but he did it sparingly IMO. The "upper tier" aspect wasnt meaning moving into the top ten or something. Those moves should (and do) happen infrequently.

Ah, so you are saying he let the draft come to him too often......... and if he did trade it was usually down. Does that cover it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of the time the cost of moving up is absurdly bad value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Jaire, Matthews, Casey Hayward, Morgan Burnett were move-ups that worked Spriggs, Burks did not Too soon to say on Savage Moved back for: Kevin King looks like a winner Eddie Lacy was a short move back Jordy Nelson others ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could technically add Jaire to the move back list as well. Brett Hundley was a trade up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
