Default Draft Trades

Thought it might be worth a separate thread to track reports on draft trades.

1.05 - Elway says he is open to moving down
1.20 - Lions say they are willing to move down

Denver potentially moving out of 5 obviously impacts the Colts at 6. Does that take potential trades for the Colts off the table? Does someone jump them to get Chubb if he falls past NYG and CLE?

I also think 1.20 is an interesting consideration. It would take something like 37+67+104 per the value chart, but it could be worth it if you're really high on a specific player (e.g. LVE, McG). I don't think Ballard would do it, but it's something to keep an eye on.

No one is jumping for anything but a QB.

Ballard said he would consider it yesterday...

Unless you meant for Chubb. TB or CHI could conceivably give a 2nd to move up to 5. It’s the type of thing the Bears have done each of the last two years.

This was from today's MMQB:

Quote:
There will be some trades in this draft that might seem one-sided. Several team officials told me in the past few days that they value Day 2 picks (rounds two and three) so highly that they’d be willing to take slightly less in compensation to move down. Where could this come into play? Cleveland (four), Indianapolis (six), Baltimore (16), Seattle (18), New England (23, 31), New Orleans (27), Philadelphia (32). “This is not your typical draft,” said one veteran club official Sunday. “The second, third and even fourth rounds are gold. You can take less than the trade-value chart says and still make a very good trade if you get multiple picks in those rounds.”
If Ballard agrees, then it would definitely factor into any decision to move back from #6.

I have now seen from a couple of sites recently that a trade with BUF would not be both of their 1st round choices but instead be something like:

IND trades #6 overall

BUF trades #12, #53 (2nd round), #56 (2nd round), #96 (3rd round)

BUF would then have #6, #22 and #65 (3rd round) to work with while IND would now be picking:

1st round - #12
2nd round - #36, #37, #49, #53, #56
3rd round - #67, #96
+ extra 2nd round pick in 2019.

8 picks in the top 100 of 2018 would be a pretty great way to super charge the "rebuild."

Would you trade for that combo?

Walk Worthy,

A lot of rumors in this NFL.com post.

Bills unlikely to move up to #2:

Quote:
Appearing on Monday's edition of Good Morning Football, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport cautioned not to read too much into Bills GM Brandon Beane's history with new Giants boss Dave Gettleman.

"From what I understand, it's not going to be one of those things where they just sell out and (trade) all the way to No. 2 with the Giants," Rapoport said. "I would be at this moment surprised if that happens."

The Bills are more likely to pull the trigger if a signal-caller they like slips to No. 5 or No. 6, Rapoport added.

To a lesser extent, the speculation surrounding Buffalo's intentions applies to Miami at No. 11 and Arizona at No. 15.
Allen is not going to be the Browns pick:

Quote:
@theMMQB

Surprise! A source told @SI_PeterKing that Cleveland will NOT take Josh Allen with the first pick. Here's why the Browns may take Sam Darnold first:
Broncos could move up or down:

Quote:
5. Starting Monday, per NFL Network's James Palmer, the Broncos are going through hypothetical scenarios that involve trading out of the draft's No. 5 spot. While most speculation has centered on the possibility of John Elway trading down to collect picks, he's also open to a trade up.

Last year was pretty crazy with all the trades for QBs. This year's 1st round is shaping up to be even nuttier.

@RapSheet: "The Arizona Cardinals may be the team to watch at this point. They certainly seem like they’re making the most phone calls about possibly moving up for a quarterback ... it’s safe to assume that 5 or 6 could be potential slots to trade for a quarterback."
Pretty sure Ballard doesn't want to drop that far, but it would give him better bargaining power to push Buffalo for both of their 1sts+.

Ballard says he's interested in moving back under the right conditions:

Quote:
“We will be open to moving back if we think it is the right thing for us to do and there's enough players on the board, depending on how far we have to move back, that we feel comfortable taking.”
