Trades in 2016 NFL draft, rumors welcome (1 Viewer)

1. At the moment, there are four teams in play to trade up to the No. 1 spot: Cleveland (as insurance against losing their preference of Goff or Wentz), San Francisco (No. 7), Philadelphia (No. 13) and Los Angeles (No. 15). And I don’t believe it will take the “king’s ransom” Titans GM Jon Robinson says a team will have to give up to move to No. 1. (Robinson later clarified his remarks, saying he did not want to give the impression the Titans were unwilling to move down). My hunch is that the deal will land somewhere south of the legitimate king’s ransom Washington paid for the right to draft Robert Griffin III—basically, three first-rounders and a second-round pick.

I can easily see the Browns moving down rather than allowing someone to move up to pick 1 and draft the QB they want.  Instead they can just take the deal themselves (which I hope they do).

 
just can't see anyone giving up a ton to move up the #1 this year.  Huge moves up into the top 3 are usually based around a QB and none of them are looked at as elite prospects in this draft class.

Someone floated out a hypothetical with the Rams moving up to pick 2.  Giving up 15, 43, 45, and a 2017 2nd.  Brown's fans seemed pretty split on it.  The people who liked the QBs did not want to do it, but a good amount of the people who didn't want one of these QBs (maybe half or so) were in favor of it.

If this guy didn't even realize that the Eagles have pick 8 and not 13 then idk how much I trust him.

I don't see any trades in the top 5 since there's no "elite" talent this year.  Most of the trading will take place mid-round.

Philly has pick No. 8.

Baltimore looks like it has potential to move back. I can see them moving back two spots.

If there's a QB that Philly wants?  What do they give up for the pick? They don't have a 2nd after the Bradford trade.  2017 picks or both their 2016 3rd round picks?  That would leave them with 1 pick in the first 3 rounds which is hard to build a team around.

San Francisco did not trade Kaepernick before yesterday's deadline so his salary is guaranteed for $11.9+ million his base salary which makes his total cap hit for 2016 over $16 million.  They might take a QB if one falls to them and then trade Kaep but I doubt they are going to be aggressive and move up for a QB and pay a premium and then try to peddle Kaep.  So I'd cross them off the list of teams who legitimately would move up.

Cleveland has stated from the start they are more likely to move down and would be unlikely to move up.  They have Josh Mcown and just signed RG III and will have their pick of one of the top-two QBs from this draft.  I never had them moving up and certainly don't now, cross them off the list.

Have the Rams EVER moved up?  It seems to go against everything they've ever done in drafts with the current front office and it looks like Paxton Lynch will be there for the taking if they want him.  This is a deep QB class where some 'interesting' prospects will be there for them in the second round and they hold two-send round picks.  I just don't think they are moving up.  The only scenario I see for them moving up is if a QB began to fall and they wanted to move ahead of San Francisco but I don't see them moving all the way up to the first pick.

Philly has Sam Bradford.  They are paying Sam Bradford.  I don't think they would also pay a premium of high draft picks to draft a QB with the first pick and pay Sam Bradford.  Just not a good fit on a number of fronts.  

Sorry Bri.  If a team moves up for a QB, the only way I see that happening is if one of the top-two start falling but that would take place after the first QB goes off the board after Tennessee makes their selection.

Plus they're paying Chase Daniel a rather hefty sum as well.

 
I think Carolina will move up again like they did last year. Last year they moved up at the beginning of Day 2 and Day 3, obviously after reviewing the prior day's results. Gettleman said earlier in FA that they are likely to do the same since they really don't need quantity. Last year it was their 2nd, 3rd and 6th to move up to an earlier 2nd and their 4th, 5th and 7th to move up to an earlier 4th. I see them doing something similar as I think there are a bunch of guys rated late 1st/early 2nd that they are interested in. I don't know if they will be able to do it, but I'd love to see them keep their 2nd and some how turn the 3rd into another 2nd with the rest of their picks. I think it would be much better for them to just get 3 top 60 guys than have 6 picks. I guess another good scenario is somehow keeping their 3rd while moving up in the 2nd using the rest of their picks.

I didn't notice that, nice catch.

I would guess it's more typo than lack of knowledge. I enjoy Peter King's employees at MMQB-very thorough, lot of detail. Usually super long articles too, which may annoy some, but I appreciate it.

The Eagles are very much a rumored trade-r with the Titans and as you could see from other links here, that's the same info-same four teams.

No, they had pick 13 and moved up to 8 in a trade with Miami weeks ago.

San Fran- The way I understand it, teams figured they'd lower their price and not go to the deadline. As such, they almost had to. So now teams might genuinely trade for Kaep. (I am not a fan, but many others still are. I think Chip will always be rumored in trades.

Cleveland- yeah I don't see it either. In fact, I don't think there's a top pick type QB in the draft, not even top 5. Others do think so. That MMQB article I linked to- I liked that he discussed how much responsibility the top prospects had. That's significant for me and as you can see one really had precious little. I do like a college QB changing plays and adjusting. At least you see he has read a D and reacted and how those reactions worked out.

The Rams are selling "we love Case Keenum" and I ain't buying that. I don't know if they've ever moved up, good point. With them having two seconds and no one really having "extra" this year, they seem to have been in most every rumor. They failed on Greg Robinson according to many. Their WRs are still prospects with unrealized potential. They have big issues. IMO they need every pick and then some. I think Robinson still has "all the talent in the world" and they ought to try and trade to some OL coach's ego that can fix him. Jake Matthews has been mentioned less recently but in a similar vein. I can probably guarantee Munchak would want to trade for Jake. Like many he has that love for the Matthews family but he also loves and respects Bruce. He would most certainly think he can fix Jake. I haven't given up on either, think there's still hope. Others do and it's been out there recently usually in Tunsil articles.

Going by rumors- Pederson was full of it and he doesn't like Sam Bradford. His words seem positive and like he does. There's a disconnect there. Why trade a guy you like? But then why sign Chase and check out rookie QBs? There's some big smokescreen coming out of philly. 

I love Bradford and think it's the worst luck how he got hurt so often, how he played with a new coach and/or OC every year, and the shmoos he's been given at WR. Philly signed Reuben and Givens. That didn't change my feelings. As a fan of his, I would want him to go anywhere there's decent talent at WR. As the years go by, there's fewer and fewer Sam fans. I do think he did fine last year. Look at the stats. I saw 8-10 games. Eagles fans always jumped on him. It is customary to do so, I get that. Their line was terrible though. There's times they were all over Sam for some late decision making but not commenting on the DL all over him. The way DeMarco and Matthews struggled, I think they have more issues on the OL than rookie coach Pederson is aware of. He can put a top QB behind them or any of these guys, he could put in Joe Montana, but if the line doesn't block well it won't matter. It's very curious how DeMarco went from top rusher to pedestrian and very few blamed the line. That's quite customary. Anyhow, ramble ramble, they are giving very mixed signals on Sam.

#1-I agree and I am wishful still. I think they are counting on someone falling in love with a QB. Another curious thing for me is why haven't teams fallen in love with Tunsil where he's become the trade target? The praise seems to be there, the draft guys reviews...no one to trade for a gem? 

Personally I want Revis Ramsey or Polamalu Jack as their pick. I can see both being very significant in a Lebeau D given their roles. 

I'm sick of people saying Robinson wanted a king's ransom for #1. It's such a snip, such a misquote. The entirety came out that same day and was corrected on many sites but still weeks later people are sticking with the king's ransom quote. He was asked about moving to late first or "near the end" and said that would take a king's ransom, still want to get a top player, that's out of the top 10 and...it was fine, normal thinking. It hasn't been presented as such.

 
Yeah, the Rams are as likely as anyone else to trade.  Since Snead took over, in only four drafts, I think, Snead has made 8 trades in the top 50 picks, including a trade up.

MORE THAN ANYONE in that time.  

 
 
I think the Tians end up taking Tunsil and moving on. Could be a trade back into the back thord of rnd 1 with their 2nd if there is a guy they want a 5th year option on.

There are plenty of holes to fill, not enough super stars and not enough GMs on the hot seat

I don't care if it's less than 100% return, as a Titans fan I'd jump on this:

TRADE WITH RAMS

Titans give up No. 1.

Rams give up No. 15, No. 43 (second round), No. 45 (second round) and next year’s first-round pick. (I valued it right in the middle, at No. 16.)

JJ calculator: 99 percent for the Titans.

Yeah it's a big drop to 15, but with a nice return.

I think that is going to be really hard to get this year. As mentioned above, there really don't appear to be super stars in this draft. The QBs have potential, but they aren't top guys we've seen in previous drafts where they are clear #1 overall picks. When there is a QB that good, they are always in the discussion for the top pick. None of these guys are better than Tunsil? If not, then I can't imagine anyone giving up 2 firsts and 2 2nds to move up to #1 when one of the top 3 will likely be available at their 15 spot.

I am actually liking this draft, which is not top heavy and has lots of similar guys. There are a variety of DEs/CBs/WRs/DTs/LBers/OTs with players are sometimes mocked in the top 15 and sometimes in the 2nd round. As a Panthers fan who knows that our GM is willing to trade up since we don't need quantity, this type of draft pool makes for opportunities to trade up and grab the guy you love from other teams that see the next handful of guys as the same and would rather pick up another pick to move down some. I think Washington's GM (or 49ers) said they wanted to acquire 12 picks, so IMHO that can be a perfect trading partner to move up with less than the trade charts show, especially when you don't need 6 rookies.

I really don't like this new draft calendar of end of April/early May. The wait for the draft is so long from the combine.

Until someone makes a 15-to-1 trade, I'm going to assume it never happens.  I think #8 is about as low at Titans, or anyone at #1 really, will ever go.

Hey, Costner got the #6 overall pick for 3 second rounders, so anything is possible.

agreed, I'm just saying I like it and the value calculator seems off IMO.

 
Just saw 2 mock drafts by analysts that have the Steelers trading up 6 spots to 19 to grab William Jackson III.  Seeing as they've traded in the first round 3 times in the last 15 years, I highly doubt this happens.

They seem to like him a lot, but why do they need to trade up? Maybe they heard of someone else interested? Every mock I have seen usually has him available to them. Personally, I hope it is a smokescreen and they don't want him. I am really hoping one of the 3 CBs (Alexander, Apple and Jackson falls to the Panthers) as I am not optimistic about keeping Norman past this year with all the other guys contracts coming up soon. Obviously, the mocks show that the top two CBs have no chance to fall. Those 3 CBs seem to be all over the place. Some mocks have all 3 gone by Pittsburgh and some have 2 of them lasting into the 2nd.

This is a really hard draft to read because it seems like there are 20-30 guys that appear to be going anywhere from 15-early 2nd and honestly depending on where you look they aren't separated by much at all.

 
I have definitely seen mocks with WJIII going higher.

With a guy like he and Alexander, I think teams have different rankings.  No for sure leader.  And corners always go quick.

I've seen all 3 to the Raiders at some point so that's probably the highest place one would get picked.  But 4-5 teams between 14 and 25 could use a significant upgrade at CB.  I wouldn't be shocked if all 3 were gone by 25 or if all were still there.  This draft is a weird one so far.

What I have read a lot, that I believe, is that there are about 8-10 in the top tier (let's include the two QBs), then about 20-30 players in a bunch.  

I think once the names at the top are gone, people need to forget about mocks.  Way too many players that I see ranked 50th, that are appearing in 1st round mocks.  I think we'll see quite a few guys that are not consensus 1st rounders going in the 1st.

Agreed, that is what I have noticed, there is a big bunch of closely ranked guys. Seems like if the person doing the mock values one position over another then all of a sudden all the OTs are gone before the Panthers pick, but they can grab a CB and in another all CBs are gone and there are OTs available in the 2nd.

Here's a pretty recent top 50: LINK

From 32-50, you have 19 prospects out of which I have seen 13 of them in multiple 1st round mocks. Darron Lee, Kenny Clark, Eli Apple, Cody Whitehair, Chris Jones, Jarran Reed, Leonard Floyd, Michael Thomas, Emmanuel Ogbah, Jonathan Bullard, Le'Raven Clark, German Ifedi and Paxton Lynch have all been in many 1st round mocks. There are also a couple that I may have seen in the first at one point, but not enough that I remember, but definitely early second. It's SI as well, so likely some out of the top 50 that have been mocked in the first as well.

Well, the new rookie pay scale hasn't been in effect all THAT long which is a huge factor.  I think it will happen at some point. 

What did the Browns do a few years back in the Julio Jones deal.  I think they dropped from what, 6 to 21??  I realize that was not the #1 pick, but that is still a huge drop that would likely not have happened with the old rookie contracts.

These guys are why I think the Titans second is more of a "prime" pick for trading than the first. Some have been top 10 and then mocked to go in 2nd. 

Ogbah and Nkemdiche are my faves. 

Jaylon Smith seems to have gone from a top player to out of draft and now Cecil wrote of him as a potential Broncos pick in first. I think that is too early (in regards to the market for him) but it'll hit a point where his upside far outweighs the risk of the pick.

Also, if I'm the Pats, I've chatted with every team from 25-40 about what they'd want and considering making a trade for "their guy." I'm still waiting something from them. I don't believe they'll stay silent and un-involved. This falling value stuff is FF like and ...can't really put my finger on it but BB swooping in and grabbing someone seems a bit perfect.

 
Cowboys have SIX QBs scheduled to visit with them. IMO that shows their hand a bit. I guess the Titans need them to fall in love with one QB that they're afraid the Browns will take. Cowboys have, naturally, scheduled other visits but just my "reading tea leaves."

Greg Cosell was on PKs radio show loving Carson Wentz and projects him like Carson Palmer for Hue. 

Titans have met with a slew of guys who could go anywhere in the first. Quite a few top ten guys.

They also met with a T and S graded early 2nd round so that's not telling of their first pick. 

The Chargers seem interested in Wentz. I would like nothing more than new GM Robinson to get the best of Whisenhunt here

 
As per PK, Robinson said the Titans had a couple teams interested and checking in. He wasn't in a rush to trade with a potential last minute better offer coming. So ever since that statement, the same original rumors and teams seem to have stronger interest.

Originally it seemed a remote possibility but now is starting to seem more toward likely.

Conflicting reports of Broncos losing interest in Kaep or not, I expect their rumors to pickup steam today.

Cowboys, Eagles, 49ers very interested.

3 weeks to go

I'll never say "never" when it comes to the draft but I can't see the Cowboys trading up for a QB. I have doubts they'd even take one at 4 (with having Romo and being in win now mode), but that I can at least see as possible.

I think I leaned this way and initially discarded the sports radio talk, as it's almost customary to discuss a prized QB regardless. 

I think six invites translates to you, the fan, gotta consider it likely though. An almost declaration.

Any round 1-5 IMO. Seems like their 3rd stringer is developing fine and not worth replacing for another project-nice game end of year. i think for a backup or starter ya gotta go first thru fifth rounds and history does dictate it should lean heavily toward first. 

If Romo has one or two years before he's replaced, they have time. Making a splash would involve a trade but otherwise they could easily draft one in round three(if they liked a prospect there) and give him a couple years to develop.

I thought the door was open for Manziel too once he fixed himself up. I would have guessed that third stringer or Manziel would get a year to see if they progress. Again, I agreed with you most of offseason here. For a long time, I've thought if you think your line is so great then you pick the top back in the draft.

The radio discussion is "not going to have another chance at this high of a pick" and that, yeah with their roster, I do think that's probably true. 

Long winded but, the issue is "why six QBS then?" and it's tough to rationalize

I think looking at six(+?) guys makes it less likely they are interested in the top two guys. Gives me the impression they are looking at the true projects in round two or beyond.

could be, about a 50/50 here

Three of them (Carson Wentz, Jared Goff, Paxton Lynch) are expected to be first-rounders, guys they’d have to take fourth if they wanted them at all. The other three (Christian Hackenberg, Connor Cook and Jacoby Brissett) could be had later in the process.

 
Tony Pauline-

10AM

Back in February I reported Jalen Ramsey was atop the Dallas Cowboys draft board and can tell you nothing has changed as the Florida State defensive back is still number one with the organization. I’m told the team has Carson Wentz of North Dakota State as their highest rated quarterback and top three on their board.

Dallas has come off of Joey Bosa somewhat as I’m told Leon Lett is down on the Ohio State lineman. They continue to be very high on Buckeye running back Ezekiel Elliott. I spoke about both of those players being targets of the Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles.com two weeks ago.

The Cowboys are one of four teams that have inquired on moving up to the top spot of the draft. The other three teams are the Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers and theNew York Jets, who are the dark horse. The overall belief around the league is the Jets don’t have the ammunition to move up. The question is would they be willing to move up a half dozen spots is Paxton Lynch falls to the middle of round one?

I think looking at six(+?) guys makes it less likely they are interested in the top two guys. Gives me the impression they are looking at the true projects in round two or beyond.

Complete guess but I think you're right and they probably have a specific player in mind but don't want to show their hand, and have to keep their options open. 

What is cook's projection?  If he goes in the 2nd or later he'll probably be a great pick.
