hakim24 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Ok lets say we were on the board around 10, and the two players that we wanted/needed were still on the board......DE in Orkapo, Johnson, or Hardy & Safety in William Moore Or Mays.When the pick got around 7 or 8, we could trade our 1st rounder & 3rd rounder for 2010 for the team who was 1 or two spots ahead of us and pick up a two great players from both positions in DE & Safety.9th pick- Orakpo, Johson, or Hardy10th pick- William Moore, or Mays2nd Round- Victor Harris3rd round- Luis Vazquez OG Texas Tech4th Round- Shawn Nelson TE Southern MississippiIf This was to happen, I would jump out of my seat on Draft day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good GM will always find a hidden GM......Paying 2 top 10 picks would hurt allot plus giving up a 3rd round pick is like trading a starterI understand what your saying but thats not smart plus a team would never do that tradeThe Panthers traded back into the first round (19th pick) to get Jeff Otah....... The Panthers had to give Philly a 2008 2nd round,4th round and a 2009 1st round pickIts a couple off good Safeties and DEs that will be available in the other rounds.......Its TD's job to find them....He will find themAlso....don't forget Freeagency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what you're doing because it is the exact same trade I proposed in my mock - EXCEPT - I had it being done at the bottom of the 1st, so a future 1+3 was more likely, and I had it being done with the Pats who would only be in the mid-low range because Brady is out this year but back next year.

Libid21 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Don't see it happening. If a team were in the Top 10 this year, I would imagine they were just at the point where they were almost good, and they would just need that one immediate rookie to come in and make an impact. They wouldn't just take two picks in the future unless they're Dallas or Philadelphia and don't really have that many holes.This is the problem with some mock drafters, they assume teams will just trade their draft picks away for more draft picks. You have to keep in mind the situation that that team would be in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to keep in mind the situation that that team would be in.Also they assume that every pick (even down to round 7) works out as planned. There's no way to turn it around in one year, we lost so many players and wasted so much money, now we have to take it step by step ... give the team some time, I think we need 2 offseasons (if we don't pick busts and make good FA signings) to be as good as TD and MIke Smith want us to be.

You have to keep in mind the situation that that team would be in.In most cases this is true, but New England could pick in the top 10 this year, and they might just be crazy enough to do something like that. With that said... Atlanta would never, ever, never-ever sign onto something like that. Thomas Dimitriof loves draft picks, and his favorite rounds are the 2nd and 3rd, he knows top 10 picks are hit-or-miss investments that carry a price tag.
