You know, you guys keep saying *list of players* or trade down. What if no one wants to trade up? It's very very realistic to think that if ATL moves up for Clowney, Jacksonville takes Mack and Cleveland takes Watkins. What then? Matthews or Robinson? I've only heard complaints about those picks as options too.
Everyone wants to trade down in this draft except for the Falcons, Niners and Eagles. Niners won't realistically jump into the top 5 or 10 even. Falcons want Clowney and Eagles want Evans so they don't need to trade up with you. What then? Carr won't be there in round 2. Teddy and Manziel are falling fast. Who do you pick? OL after all the signings? Or a great QB prospect (regardless of any personal feelings, he is a great prospect) that would be perfect to sit behind Schaub for a year?
There isn't a QB worth a top 5 (maybe even top 10) pick this year (except for Garoppogod of course) but QBs are QBs and 3 of them will likely go top 10. If the Raiders drafted Carr at 5, I'd praise the pick, not hate on it.
I agree with everything you said here
also, isn't there like a value-based chart that says what each pick is worth in a trade? Was kind of wondering what it would cost for Balt. to move right ahead of Pittsburgh if Lewan fell.
