Nfl Draft (1 Viewer)

[Blackjacks]

I was looking at mock drafts and saw Washington still picking in their #6 slot. Doesn't Denver have the option to switch spots with Washington due to the trade that allowed Washington to get Campbell? If I'm right about this could you imagine Denver geting Peterson? Tell me I'm wrong but I just thought I remembered hearing that.

 

[Blackjacks]

Can someone help me out here please?

I don't know why I'm thinking I heard this, who will have the #6?

They did have the option based on the Duckett trade, but no swap will take place. From GBN...

According to media reports in both cities, Denver will receive Washington's 3rd round pick at the 2007 draft to complete the three-way trade last summer that also included Atlanta. Depending on this weekend’s results, the Broncos could still also get a fourth-round pick from the Redskins in 2008. The original language of the deal was rather vague and had left open the possibility that the Redskins and Broncos could end up swapping their first-round picks. Denver had wanted a high third-rounder when they parted with WR Ashley Lelie as part of the deal. And with the 5-10 Redskins guaranteed a top 10 pick this coming April, the Broncos will get their high 3rd rounder. Denver sent Lelie, who was holding out, to Atlanta in the three-way trade, while the Redskins got running back T.J. Duckett from Atlanta. The extra third-round pick will give the Broncos ammunition if they want to trade up. It was a high third-round pick that Denver packaged to improve its draft position and select quarterback Jay Cutler in April.

Why if Denver has the option to swap picks would they choose not to do so?

 

[Ariakis]

I would guess there is language that said if the pick was top 10 then it couldn't be swapped.

 

[Colin Dowling]

I believe that Denver would have to add a 4th rounder in to swap. Perhaps they look at their salary cap situation and depth chart and have determined the higher pick is not worth the cost.

Either that and it's the other way around, wherein Washington has to add a pick to the deal to NOT swap and they have already chosen to do so.

No this is wrong. If Washington's pick was top 10, the swap was out of the question. Also if there was a difference of I think 15 picks between the two spots, the swap was out. The trade was based on the draft pick points chart that all teams use. The choices were to swap first rounders or Denver get's a 3rd this year, and a 4th next year. Once the swap scenario was out of the question, they got the 3rd and 4th.Colin, what gives, the holidays have you a little off or something, that's the 2nd time I've had to correct you. It's a new year, get back on track bud.Salary cap issues are long dead now for most teams, with the cap increasing 8 million late last year, and then another 8 million this year and another 8 million next year, salary cap hell isn't something you will see for a couple of years until teams max out this new cap.

Thanks for clarifying. The holidays have me a little , which is nothing to scoff at.

It's forgiven for now......as long as you bring your A game back like usual.
