swede700 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 21 minutes ago, vike daddy said: my thought is don't trade both 3rd's because then we won't have a 3rd when we get to that round. trade one 3rd and two of the 4th's? that could get us anywhere between #52 and #55 or so Yeah, I really have no intention of trading both 3rds, but I thought I'd present it as an option. Far more likely is that I'd trade 1 of the 3rds and 2 of the 4ths, but I would almost want another 6th or 7th rounder in return for doing that.

Purplepride323 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) The closer we get to the draft the more that it seems that we’ll stick and pick to get two first round talents. One of them obviously being a QB and the other being a defensive player, most preferably a DT. At #11 we can take Michael Penix Jr., who is having a last minute rise up draft boards after that pro day and Byron Murphy, Jerzhan Newton, Braden Fiske or Tvondre Sweat at pick #23. I’d prefer this over trading away our future assets for a QB than can be equally as successful as a QB like Penix Jr. with our offense. Penix with Jefferson, Addison and Hockenson along with Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler running the ball will be the greatest show on turf all over again. He might be the best thrower of the ball besides Caleb Williams and we’re actually lucky that he has a history of injuries, because he’d be a top 3 pick if otherwise. I can already see Penix throwing darts to Jefferson with his purple durag and doing his bow and arrow celebration. All of that is too great to pass up.

gopherwrestler Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Still think it would be great to draft Odunze and Penix. How fun would that offense be? 3 1st round WR’s 1st round QB 1st round OT and a 2nd Round 1st round center Pro bowl RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually a fan of turning 6ths and late 5th into multiple 6ths and 7ths, basically gather up volume in those rounds. But don't do that at the cost of higher arounds. Because it is unlikely but as SteelKing said, you can, but if you want to or you want to consistently, you need the volume of picks there. And it's been a decade, I think, since I did my research, but from what I remember for most positions the hit rate on a player in the 5th vs the 6th vs the 7th wasn't drastically different. So get 4 7th's is better value than a late 5th and no other late round picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
