texasfalconfan Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 what if at 14 all of the DT’s are gone and we end up drafting a OT, but then at 32 Jeffrey simmons is still available, by trading up into the 1st round we could get the 5th year option on him, and since he will likely miss most or all of this year. it gives us 1 more year before he would get a new contract. also at pick 32 his 5th year wouldnt be as expensive. most projected him the 2nd best DT in this draft behind williams. the value chart doesnt line up well, our 2nd and 3rd is too expensive but our 2nd and both 4ths doesnt provide enough points and giving 3 picks for 1 is tough. assuming a reasonable trade could be worked out would you pull the trigger? I had thought about this alot especially with all of the jarrett contract issues, and my opinion would be even of we drafted say wilkins, i would still trade up for simmons so when the franchise tag has taken its course on jarrett and he decided to go elsewhere we would still have wilkins and simmons manning our interior line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PriMeTiiMe Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Depends on who we drafted in round 1. If we went DT then no. If we did not, then yes you consider it if the price is not too steep. Both comp picks (4th and 5th) sure..a 3rd? no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCFalcon22 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I'm on board with this. Here's what I would do as a Dimi. I'm signing Julio and Grady so that there is more cap room. Sign Suh to a 1/10 million contract. Slide back in the draft and take best OL available. Use draft capital obtained from moving back to get back into the 1st or early 2nd and draft Simmons. Thoughts @texasfalconfan??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Could be the best DT in the draft. If we didn’t already take one I would def consider it. We don’t have room for 9 picks plus UDFA on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfal Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I doubt this regime will draft, let alone trade up for a player with off the field issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazoo Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I would love to have him here. If he’s still there at our 3rd pick I’d take him all day long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ergo Proxy Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Taking an injured player is one thing. Moving up for him? Start talking if he makes it to 45 first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atl Falcon Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Simmons may be better than E Oliver so yes I’d trade up BUT he will NOT be there at 33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DQs seat is warm...he’s not drafting a guy that can’t help this year... Add that to the off the field and we won’t draft him if he’s there in the 5th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconBlood Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Arizona would love that. Our trade would have to be an overpayment. Arizona I think would take Simmons gladly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCartledge85 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 So here’s my thought. If you get to Rd 2, and he’s avaible, why not just offer your 2020 1st round pick, and that’s it? Would someone bypass a 2nd pick to get another 1 in 2020? You would essentially be drafting Simmons with your 1st pick next year. Not sure it would get accepted without 2019 picks being included, but I’d offer it to every team picking when he’s available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
