Trade Up Mock


Recommended Posts

Strategy:  

1. Fill what I consider somewhat obvious holes: CB, DE, FB, T/G type, RB.

2. Can't trade comp picks, so use them.

3. After using the comp picks and filling what I see as holes, look at picks left.  Generate a trade up with what is left, take the best player that adds a playmaker somewhere to the team.

 

Rankings: Current CBSSportsline.com

 

Result:

 

19. (24+88) Calvin Pryor, SS, Louisville - adds a playmaking safety to play along side Reggie Nelson

55. Phillip Gaines, CB, Rice - blazer, good size, had he played in a better conference he might have been a 1st rounder

123. James Hurst T/G UNC - Could step into G right away, eventual LT

164. Isaiah Crowell, RB, Ala St. - Former SEC player, talented with some red flags, but here it's fine.

199. J.C. Copeland, FB, LSU - Sledgehammer lead blocker

212. Aaron Lynch, DE, USF - Another risk/reward pick that at this point in the draft is low risk

239. Marcel Jensen, TE, Fresno St. Blocking TE with some WR upside.

252. Kendall James, CB, Maine - PS CB with adequate size and speed

Yeah, I don't think I'd trade up for Pryor at this point, less because of him than because of what it would cost us.  There are only two guys I could really see trading up for (outside of some of the obvious top 10 guys that would be unlikely to fall: Donald and Dennard.  I expect them both to go in the 14-20 range.
