Interesting mock draft

[dmek25]

i cant imagine a trade that would help the skins more then this one.

[memphisskin]

I like this deal, scratch that I LOVE this deal. But it makes too much sense, and the Patriots have too much sense to make this deal.

The talk of Miami cutting Daunte Culpepper, possibly picking up Trent Green, and then looking to draft a top signal caller in the draft offers the skins an interesting possibility. If Brady Quinn falls to the skins at 6, then they may very well be able to get much more from the Dolphins by swopping picks with them...and dropping to 9th overall, than from Atlanta (who would prolly be looking to trade up for Landry from 8th overall. Then at 9th overall they would still have a chance to pick up a top notch dline player like okoye, while prolly netting a 2nd round pick in the process from Miami. This would be ideal in my mind. What do you guys think??? Realistic??

so with both gaines adams and okoye on the board the skins trade down to draft two far less talented defenders at those positions...i dont think so

Its not just a talent thing, its a risk-reward economic thing. None of these guys have proven themselves in the NFL, and with the 6th pick we would have to pay our pick a ton of cash to an unproven guy who could be a bust. We could possibly solidify two positions that we will need help in instead of one with paying far less, and instead of putting all our eggs in the basket of one 1st rounder who has more potential, we would have another guy to fall upon from this draft if our 1st pick doesnt pan out. Unless we are in love with one of these guys, we should definately trade down.

if that trade happened we would be getting jipped 200 points on the value chart. they would have to throw in a third as well to get near equal

You beat me to the punch. My initial instinct was this could be a good move, especially if we could be Harrell and Spencer. As Big C points out, though, that would mean leaving the equivalent value of a pretty high (#78 overall) third round pick on the table so bad move. Also, no guarentee that Harrell or Spencer would be there in those spots. Harrell is apparently moving up draft boards pretty quickly after a very good on-campus workout and I've seen him projected as high as #15. After him the DT prospects seem to drop off pretty quickly. If NE would throw in the 3rd to make up the different then you'd almost have to make that deal though. Seems like a large bounty, but I've heard nothing but good things about Landry so maybe they think that is their ticket back to the SB.

Where do you guys find your numbers on the draft value as it relates to individual picks? I'd love to see this chart.

Thanks guys. That is easy to read.

Here is a link to the value chart, it is a bit easier to navigate than the one copied above. It was developed, I believe, primarily by the Dallas Cowboys front office many years ago when Gil Brandt was still there. Most teams follow it pretty closely so it is a handy link to reference when people start throwing out wild trade rumors.

Edit: Ok, Big C beat me again in the midst of my typing apparently ... apologies for the duplicate

[SkinEmAll]

I kinda like that possibility. I think it would be a great trade, if it went down like that. And I dont think it is so unlikely, with the way the pats have been a little out of character this off season in free agency and the fact that ANYTHING is possible come draft day.

[KLHJ2]

Ive never seen it with my own two eyes, but it does exist. They talked about it for days during last years draft on NFL network.
