Colin_Pernett Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) 2011. TD trades up for Julio 2013. TD trades up for Trufant 2014. TD has trade in place to go up to #3 for Jake Matthews. Also wanted to trade back into the first for Dee Ford r Ryan Shazier 2015. TD said Vic was his guy all along. I feel as though we would have traded up if he wasn't going to fall to us It is very clear that the Falcon's draft strategy in the past is to go after the guy they really covet. We worked out Myles Jack and he is such a great fit and his old coach is even on our staff. I know most here would be completely against trading up, but based on our history, if we are in love with him or another player that will go before 17, I feel like we could be at least looking to move up Edited April 16, 2016 by Colin_Pernett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dem Birds Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Probably the dumbest nickname on the board outside of the standard FFS1970 ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwifalcon Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I'll say definitely not this year down maybe but I feel if we stay pat in all our rounds we're walking away with at least 3 starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush Hour 4 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Trade the farm for myles jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySG Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Trade down in the first then if you feel you need to trade up on day 2 or 3 to get your guy so be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaFanatic Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I understand the premise but why include 2 years that he did NOT trade up and then say "well he would have" based on pure speculation. I know there were rumors about him trading up to get Jake but it didn't happen so why include it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it illustrates that he gets tunnel vision for a prospect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trubirdfan4life Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 When you trade up, you usually have your 5th and 6th round picks to fill in some role players. ...we dont have those picks...we just dont gave any way to trade up very far.... we stay put and draft our guys this year...unless a player falls unexpectedly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew4719 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Please no trading up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Even Bleed Red Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Right now, I just really wish TD's first name was Joe. Trader Joe sounds so much cooler lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phrootdawg Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Not enough picks and too many holes. Mind you these holes are from him trading up and missing on everything else. Traitor Thomas should have been gone with Smitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazorWing Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I hope not. We need depth. He should be entertaining a track back instead of a trade up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam25 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Probably not, unless TD and company falls head over heels for Myles Jack. I can't see it happening though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby.Digital Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Depend on the price. If we can land Jack for our 1st 2nd and next year's 3rd I'd do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumblesjr,jr Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 TD traded up for Jarrett last season. So tack that onto last years list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Minotaur Zebra Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Yes please Trade down to the 30th~ pick and get Su'a Cravens and then get Hunter Henry and go DL/OL the rest of the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovie_Lover Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 So when TD trades up it works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-dawg Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 another reason you don't trade up for Myles Jack - some other teams don't like his medicals on his meniscus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
