jayrockthabarber Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 seriously.another mock with a trade down.Yes seriously. Why not trade down and get the samr guy we'd probably take at 30 PLUS pick up another 3rd rd pk?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayoh Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Yes seriously. Why not trade down and get the samr guy we'd probably take at 30 PLUS pick up another 3rd rd pk?!there are no questions of the motivation, trading down is the ideal but it's incredibly unrealistic. And what's worse is that all you guys that have trade down mocks are essentially trading down before the draft even happens, which has about a 0.1% chance of happening because any trades as deep as we are would need to be involving a current player getting traded for a pick. You don't just randomly trade back unless it gets to your number, there are a few guys that you kind of like but nobody that you absolutely need to get, and somebody a few picks behind you wants to leapfrog some teams ahead of them to pick a certain player that they want really badly that they aren't sure will fall to them otherwise. It's just really silly to be mocking trade backs. The point of a mock draft is to estimate what players will fall to your spot, not trying to get the most out of what you have by playing fantasy GM and trading picks and crap like that that aren't likely to happen.

falcon90 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Why take two injury prone RBs? Also wouldn't take Mathieu period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with building a trade into a mock draft as long as it is a realistic trade. I'm pretty sure we are all playing fantasy GM by listing who we would cut, resign, trade for, sign as FA, draft, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAN_O_THE_ATL Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 1. As for the draft, good move trading back and three of first four picks are solid. I also mocked Mathieu at one point but I'd be surprised if he was even on TD's draft board. 2. That's 4 new DEs??? Definitely an area of focus but 4 is overkill. Using a couple of those spots on DT/OL/other would be better served. 3. We should singe a extra team doctor to work with the RBs you have selected.
