smetana34 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Trade it to a team trying to get back into the 1st for one of the last QBs Get their first next year, their 3rd this year, and call it good. Reevaluate next year with the extra high pick in hand. There isn't much this team needs, and we know how much things can change in a year; some players progress, some don't. Would still have five picks in the first 100 to add depth and competition this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First next year may be worse than our first this year. 2rp this yr and maybe i would think about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a team giving up their 2nd this year and a FRP next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit Pack Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 Did you notice in Gute presser that he mentioned a few times about trading back!!!! That message was to other GMs he is open to business and stop low ballin'!!!! When messing around on sims this draft feels so much better when you trade back into the 2nd and pick up a few extra picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gute publicly talking about wanting to trade down might mean he's looking to trade up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spilltray Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 It could be both. Trade up from 25, trade back from 41, or trade back from 25 and up from 41. I don't really think Gute really has any idea. He probably has 10+ different ideas for 10+ scenarios but actual draft day will be something he didn't expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 As CWood has noted, Gute has often used 4ths in tradeups. Our 4th may be too little to jump to 22, but per charts would be enough for 23. Vikes sit at 23, and may not like to trade with us. But they may trade 23 in QB pursuit. But yeah, those conversations probably need to be happening pretty much in the moment, since Gute doesn't know who will be left at 23 yet, and may not know who'll have that pick until well into Thursday night.

Isherwood Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I think Gute is more likely to trade down from 25 because the value simply isn’t there. He said in the presser yesterday that if you trade up, you have to be sure it’s for the type of player you can’t get later. I can’t think of really anyone in this draft that that fits the bill for, outside of the top 15, which we are not going that high for. I feel like any tackle you trade up to ~20 for isn’t significantly better than what you can get in round 2 or just stay and pick at 25. Ditto with corner. They just aren’t going to drop far enough to make the juice worth the squeeze, I think. I like DeJean, but would I trade up for him? He’s still got warts. He feels like fine value at 25, but it’s wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When messing around on sims this draft feels so much better when you trade back into the 2nd and pick up a few extra picks. Trading back into the second and then trading up in the third or back up into the second does feel better than stick and pick. Definitely get your competition in all the rooms and are able to ‘raise the floor’ in a bunch of position groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2019 Washington traded #26 to Indianapolis for #46 and their 2020 second round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
