We Trade..

[blakersburris]

Thats the point there is no rg3 or julio in this draft

The positions ppl value more than any other any other are qb cb wr and passrusher...theres no elite player there

Star could be be a valuable asset.

I could also see Jarvis Jones becoming a hot commodity. Most scouts say he is better than Von Miller coming out of college.

Everyone wants to trade down, trade down, trade down, acquire more picks.... Anybody up for trading back in to the 1st round using future picks ? With Reggie hopefully taking care of this cap situation soon, how about trading future picks for more bodies this year ? So keep the 3rd overall, and trade back into the first using your picks in 2014 or 2015.

Mock Draft i.e. :

#3 - Star Lotulelei (DT-Utah)

#16- Ezekiel Ansah (DE-BYU)

Obviously hypothetical on what you'd have to give up to get back into the middle of the first round at #16...but if your in love with someone, & your scouts think he's the real deal, why not do it ?

We need all the bodies we can get. Especially defensively. Adding a DT & a DE in the first round like the two above would give you a good head start on fixing this defense (Need about 3 more players on defense in free agency to boot).

McKenzie has said previously that he's not a fan of trading future picks.

First off, this belongs in the draft thread homie. Second, no one will trade up in this draft. I see teams trading into the second and third round but not into the first. Think about it as a fan or front office of another team, who is out there to trade up to the #3 pick, who is there to give up so much? Star will be gone as well as Jockel*. Jarvis Jones has a medical condition, and Werner or Moore can he had a few spots lower than 3. There is not one player imo that merits any team trading up for. We can talk draft scenarios all we want, but the fact is that at this point in time there i is no player worth trading up for...maybe after the combine and private workouts and I still doubt it.

There is always opportunity to make a trade. Always.

Star isnt a passrusher and jones has serious medical concerned

[Raiders420]

If not Star take Jarvis at #3. Seriously doubt teams will be willing to trade up to #3 with the lack of talent in this draft, but wouldn't be against it.

Well, of course, but it doesn't mean it will be beneficial.

Theirs gotta be a way to trade DMC for Suh.

Please make it happen

ahh. ok. Hadn't heard him say that.

[N. Cog Neato]

The LT from Central Michigan needs to light it up at his pro day and combine. If he, Joeckel, and Star are as good as advertised, maybe a team in desperate need of a LT would jump up. If Joeckel is there at #3, seeing how the draft pundits are saying the CMU LT could be better than Joeckel, maybe someone would want him, and move up to the #3 spot.

Come on kid, impress those scouts.

I can see Joeckel, or the CMU LT going #1.
Star #2.
Then that leaves the other LT setting there @ #3.

And KC, with Andy Reid there now, may just take Geno Smith. I don't think so, but if KC does, it makes our #3 pick even better looking.

No thanks.......trading a annually sprained ankle, for a walking "15 yard personal foul"? Again, no thanks.

I think the Raiders should very much draft star lotulelei but I have a feeling he will not be there.
So the next best thing is to trade down and I looked at all possibilitys and came up with this.
The Raiders trade there 3rd over all along with the 6th round pick(162) to the Rams for there 16th and 22nd first round picks along with there 2nd round pick(46th)
The draft point chart says the trade equals almost evenly.
Then since RM traded why not keep it going?? The next trade is the Raiders trade there 2nd round pick from the Rams to the Dolphins.so the Dolphins pick there WR/RB they want.
The Raiders get the Dolphins 2 3rd round picks(77,82) and there 5th round pick(139)
Again the chart says its an equal trade.
Here's my early mock with those picks.does not include comp picks.
16-Ezekiel Ansah DE/OLB BYU
22-Johnathan Jenkins DT Georgia
66-Logan Ryan CB Rutgers
77-Kevin Reddick ILB UNC
82-Bacarri Rambo S Georgia
97-Quanterus Smith DE/OLB Western Kentucky
139-Desmond Trufant CB Washington
193-Tanner Hawkinson OT Kansas
203-Chris McDonald OG Michigan State
If you ask me..with some of the pieces we have on defense and with this going talent our defense will look scary...humor me I'm at work...Lolll

I'd love this draft but there's no way trufant is picked that late after his week at the senior bowl

He may jump into the 1st, no?

[bbd24]

Late first, early 2nd

Star's stock isn't in his pass-rushing. Ngata and Suh aren't pass-rushers. They are space eaters, gap eaters, and a pain in the arse when you have to block them all game.

Again, Jones is said to be better than Von Miller. That is saying a lot. Von Miller would be a 1st overall if teams knew how beastly the dude would turn out. Physicians already told Jones to hang them up, but he played through it all and he has been a beast. Don't bite into what everyone else tells you. Judge him by his play.
