NASTYNATI Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Its being reported that several teams are shopping their early first round pick(s). I know that the majority of us here would love to have Kenny Vaccarro but its likely that he will be gone by the time we pick at 21. My question is, If you were given the chance to call the shots on draft day... do you trade up? If you want to move, who for? What are you willing to give up for your pick? I want to trade up and Im targeting the Jets. They are desperate, and their roster is in shambles. I think Vaccarro could be had at 13 and could be bought with our 1st and our 3rd round pick. Its being said that the strength of this years draft is in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. The Jets can still grab a guy like Mingo at 9 and could also seriously consider Geno Smith (whom I think falls below pick 20) with our pick at 21. They need a RB and could use one of the two 3rd rounders to snatch up a Montee Ball, Andre Ellington, or Jonathan Franklin. I think that 21 is too high to select any safety other than Vaccarro, and by pick 37 guys like Reid, Cyprien, and Elam might all be gone. Thursday needs to hurry up and get here! I cannot ever remember a draft with this many unknowns and possible trades looming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Poll fail. Question 2 does not have an option for not wanting to trade up, and can't answer only 1 question. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiliMVP Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Vaccaro isn't so much better than Reid, Elam, Cyprien that I'd be willing to give up a 2nd or 3rd round pick for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 No, why? I'd love to have vaccaro but I don't think he's a third round pick better than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBandJoeyV Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 maybe would give up a 4th but not much more then that. Draft is too deep. Unless they are extremely high on Vaccaro and not on the other S, then maybe. But my guess if they werent high on any of the other safeties, they would have Kerry Rhodes in stripes already in case kenny didnt fall (which he probably wont).

T-Dub Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 If they do trade up hopefully it's for a better OT. Otherwise the mocks make it look like there's not a whole lot of separation between 21 and 37. If that holds true on their board, too, then a trade down makes sense.

scharm Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I would only trade up for o-line or d-line prospect. It seems those are most blue chippers in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Harley| Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 If you're going to move up it needs to be for a higher impact, stud player than Vaccaro. If they are parting ways with Andre then possibly for a stud T with potential to play the left side too. Or, if they are drooling over a stud LB I could see that. I think you build the core via the draft and I like more not less picks. I don't move up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I see a lot of teams wanting to trade down and probably not a lot of takers the way this draft is shaping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|kennethmw| Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I don't see any reason to trade up. There are no really exceptional players in this draft. There are some Really good players, but nobody you mortgage the farm for. I'd rather swap 21 with Minnesota at 25 and get their second or third to boot. I just don't know that they have someone they think would help them at 21 that they can't get similar value at 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snarkster Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Not much above us I'd be that motivated to move up for. This is a deep draft though and if a. they get to 21 and there are several guys they like of comparable value and b. if they can get a premium pick (first four rounds) to move down a few spots, I rather trade down if anything.

texbengal Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I thought they traded up to get Schobel They did - traded to top of 3rd round; I believe they thought Detroit was going to grab him so they jumped in font. That was the last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbengal Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Unless someone that they covet makes it worthwhile and they don't had to break the bank, I wouldn't. If anything, this draft seems to set up to trade down, especially if there are several guys sitting there at 21 they would be happy with and they could afford to get one AND extract additional value. That said, it's always a risky move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooky Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I voted no for first round, but with 10 picks, maybe they should consider trading up in the middle rounds, if need be, where trading up isn't as pricey and there are valuable prospects they don't want to wait for.

Vol_Bengal Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Why would I want to trade up when it has been pretty universally established that this draft's top end talent is shit. The value in this draft is its depth... rounds 2-4, not round 1. That is why Tampa Bay went ahead and traded their 1st for Revis. They felt like he was a more known commodity than anything they could get in the 1st of this draft and they still kept their 2's, 3's, and 4's for this year where the value really is. A lot of people are saying you can get the same player at 60 that you can get at 16... If anything, I'd almost like to trade down for an additional 2nd and 3rd or something like that. I don't see a "difference maker" there for us. I see guys that can be solid, consistent football players though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard Bill Polian quoted today saying that there are 10 guys rated as 1st round guys... 15 if he's really generous. You'd have to give up a lot to move up to get one of those from 21, and they aren't one player away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
