Re: Do You Think We'll Trade Down In The Draft?

That may sound highly unrealistic, but I can see one scenario where it could happen; Detroit takes J. Smith at #1. Sanchez is available at #12, but Denver decides not to take Sanchez at 12 & they fail to make a deal w/Detroit, who offers #20 & their 3rd (65) to move up.

Suddenly, Vinny & Danny are getting offers from a few teams who want to take Sanchez at 13, offering up day 1 picks. The Skins then have the uppper hand & go w/the best offer. It is Detroit we're talking about. I could even see them giving #20,33 & 65 if they really think Sanchez is the real deal & he's available at 13. Vinny might throw in a 3rd or a late round pick to make it more palatble to their fans.

Of course this would depend on Sanchez falling out of the top 10. I think he, Orakpo & A. Smith are the 3 guys that will draw the most trading up interest. I know Orakpo's stock shot up after the combine, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's on the board a little later. He's got Vernon Golston written all over him.
Yeah, i could see it too. We have some holes and need some picks. If Sanchez falls, Crabtree falls, or even Stafford falls we could have some decent trade partners. I wouldn't be upset. DE seems to be pretty deep in this draft. We can get a good player late in the 1st round.
