Raiders Trade Down? (1 Viewer)

If their guy is Russell then they wouldn't be getting their guy. Who's to say Detroit just isn't high on Quinn but if Russell was there at 2 they'd nab him in a second. Then what if Cleveland takes Quinn at 3 and now the Raiders are on the Clock..........C. Johnson is off the board, Russell is off the board and Quinn is off the board.
No way the Raiders take that kind of chance when they can take anybody they want in their current position.

I disagree. Assuming we are talking about Tampa's 4 slot- If they moved down taking a chance on getting Quinn and all those players are off the board then they can pick up Thomas. Put him at Left Tackle and move Gallery to Right. If you do not like that pick.... not sure why...... then you could get Gaines Adams and put in that last real missing piece in their D. Then with their second round picks (plural) take Edwards and best players available from there.Iwannabeacowboybaby! said:

Raiders would be unable to pick up a QB at 4, especially if their behind Detroit, Det will c block Oak just like Oak did Det if Oak traded down, revenge is great. Plus they have NO QB currently so they are for sure taking Russell, maybe even Quinn. And the free agents at QB blow, and if Cpepp is cut, they would be stupid to pick him up, he is literally on his last leg!!!

I'd do that if I were the Raiders. Get extra picks, pay a lot less, and still have an excellent shot at a franchise QB. Don't think it will happen though.

THAT is the key.

If the Raiders want a QB, they want a specific guy.
You don't trade down, unless you are sure you can get your guy. NFL teams don't think, "Well we'll get one or the other...." NFL draft fans that haven't scouted these kids think that way.
The top 5 teams drafting all want one guy, their guy. Trading down and getting multiple picks means the Raiders aren't sold on CJ, Russell, or Quinn. Possible, but that would shock me.

True enough, but they seem to be negotiating with several players (an obvious ploy to drive down the price) which is smart, but the question now is, Are they willing to pay #1 money to their "guy"? And if not, why not?

The Raiders are not one of the richest teams, so there is sentiment that they'd rather not pay #1 money. I truly don't know how big an issue that is.

Not being sold on either QB shouldnt be a shock to anyone. They might be sold on CJ but also might feel differently about Moss and Porter than the fans do.

In that case, and this is just speculation, I would think we would have heard more about a possible trade down. We're not hearing much. That leads me to believe they have a guy in mind.

If Oakland trades down with Cleveland, not likely, they would be forfieting JaMarcus Russell for Brady Quinn. If Oakland trades down to four with Tampa Bay, still not likely but if they do, they will be forfieting Calvin Johnson and more than likely be picking up an extra second round pick and some extras. If they trade down with Tampa Bay then they would not sit at #4 and wait it out. They would turn right around and trade back into the #2 slot and pick up Russell and give up the extra second round pick by the Bucs and keep the extras. That way they get Russell and extras. The Bucs get Calvin Johnson, the Lions move down and get Gaines Adams or Joe Thomas and an extra pick. Pretty much everyone wins in that scenario. But anything that makes soo much sense rarely happens so more than likely they just pick Russell #1 and let Detroit get the rights to Calvin Johnson. Just my humble-O.Buc Dude said:

The trade down/trade back up scenario is my favorite, but alas, very unlikely. Would be soooo sweet tho.

Trent Edwards-QB- Player Apr. 26 - 11:29 am et
The Raiders are expected to target Stanford QB Trent Edwards with the No. 33 overall pick if they take Calvin Johnson with the No. 1 pick.
It's currently seeming unlikely that Oakland will grab the best player available at No. 1. Cleveland and Detroit reportedly also covet Edwards.
