I don’t see it. The trade value is going to need to be what, next year’s first, your second plus more this year? For a CB, when they just traded away a serviceable player in Trufant? You’d do it for a QB, don’t see it in this instance.

idk man. sounds like Thomas Dimitroff is plotting something silly.

also I feel like there are serious ‘win now’ vibes for this management. not to say that’s doable, but to say that whatever kind of SB window the Falcons have is looking very slight and that the management including Quinn are on borrowed time.

so crazy is likely.

Falcons aren’t a corner away from contending though, are they?

we aren’t really talking about a logical decision here, tho

All I want (as a Lions fan) is the Washington professional football team to draft Tua - I know there’s probably less than a 1% chance of that though! Failing that, an extra second round pick from either the Dolphins or Chargers in a trade back would be fantastic. I don’t want us to draft any offensive players before the 3rd, as long as Stafford stays healthy we will be just fine on that side of the ball. Looking at the current roster at least 3 D-linemen are needed.

#48

Think corner and edge are the biggest concerns (hence why Young or Okudah will both do nicely) but IOL and WR are very close behind - they don’t have any receivers under contract past this year, and this is a deep draft - if the value is there in the second they should do (and a trade back that would give them an extra pick at the end of the first / top of the second would be ideal)

#49

The drop off from Okudah and Young seems so sharp that it feels like it’s in Detroit’s best interest to shop the pick and pick up (for example) Epenesa and CJ Henderson in the same round.

#50

Sure, but there’s a chance you could drop to say five and also get Miami’s later first rounder and get Okudah and Epensea (nothing that good ever actually happens though)

Fully agreed - if Miami or the Chargers move up I still think Okudah will be there at 5 or 6.

Can someone who’s good at that sort of thing set up a DiS mock draft?

Giants supposedly doing “a ton of research and talks” with Justin Herbert. Jesus Gettleman the old ploy of pretending to be interested in a guy so other teams may want to jump up in trade so 2003. This fucking guy let me tell you.

please Chargers take the bait

You don’t want Herbert? :anguished:

We drafted a QB in Daniel Jones with the 6th pick last year, who played majority of season. I find it very hard to think our new coach Joe Judge took the job without thinking Daniel Jones was his guy, it was certainly our GM Gettleman’s.

I like Herbert but Giants have much more pressing needs than a camp QB battle between back to back top 5 QB picks in subsequent drafts.

Fair enough (though you’d get me as a Giants fan if you did draft him and play him)

Not good names by themselves but there are new players called AJ Green and Lamar Jackson, both expected to go on day 3.

So what’s everyone team needs and hopes for draft day?

Obviously Giants have major gaps everywhere beside RB, QB (for now). Really haven’t a major presence at LB since Antonio Pierce, christ over ten years ago. Isaiah Simmons just checks all the right boxes, really want him. Especially after taking Evan Engram at TE in 1st round years ago when we could have TJ Watt. Can’t make same mistake again.

That being said best O Lineman wouldn’t be a bad thing either.

Just hope Gettleman’s fax machine works.

How’s about your teams?

The Lions need a starting CB and edge rusher, plus ideally starters for both lines, future WRs, probably an RB, ideally upgrades at LB and safety, oh and a punter. Aside from that, they’re set.
