Oakland certainly has the experience to feel out what too picks are worth in the nfl draft year after year.

Does anyone sincerely see St. Louis moving down though? Or Oakland?

St.Louis maybe if Clowney is still there and a team like the Bills or Falcons decides they absolutely need him.

Oakland, hell yeah. Reggie loves picks more than he loves his mother. I'm not sure if the cheap 2nd rounder they got last year to move down from 3 to 12 was a product of them not having an original 2nd rounder/the overall weakness of last year's draft or if cheap trade downs are just their front office MO. The above tweet tells me otherwise if it's true and for that I am happy.

With the 90 something extra underclassmen declaring and pushing some 1st round picks into the 2nd and the dearth of talent on their roster, Oakland would be dumb not to trade down unless they love Mack or Watkins.

I knew it would be bad.
I didn't know it would be so stupid.
I think the only team in the top 10 who could successfully demand a massive haul is the Texans. Everyone else will have to settle for a good but not great trade (or just not trade). The only exceptions I could see would be if Mack or one of the top tackles slips towards the end.

Just too much depth in the draft, otherwise.

There is depth but only a small handful of elite prospects.

I don't see the elite being that elite, except at WR. And even then, the success rate of 1st round WRs & the massive depth at that position takes a lot away from them.

Edit: I think it's far more likely that teams will just stick with their pick if they don't get what they're asking for.

I know they're in my division and all but I would still be disappointed if the Rams had a shot at Clowney and passed on him. Seeing a defensive line of that caliber is just too loving historic to pass up, even if it means the death of Russell "Future Winner of the Ben Roethlisberger Douche of the Year Award" Wilson

If Watkins and/or Mack are available at 5, you take them in that order. If not, trade down smartly to get extra picks in the deepest draft in years(maybe ever).

There are 5 or 6 elite prospects and 3 quarterbacks who could all conceivably garner high trade interest.

I don't disagree. I just think the depth at several positions makes a team overpaying for one of them unlikely. Clowney, Mack or a top tackle could all be possible.

I'm almost certain the Bucs are going QB in the top two rounds. Now they're trying to trade Glennon. They've been clear about how uninterested they are with Glennon and I wouldn't be shocked to see them grab any of the top 6 QBs within the first two rounds. Fingers crossed for Bridgewater.

Sounds like the 49ers explored getting into the top 10 but it would cost them next year's #1 and that's not their style. Won't do it.

49ers are getting trade calls for #30, mostly from teams trying to move up from the 2nd round probably aiming for QBs Carr or Garoppolo.

I like this. Endorsed.

It wouldn't surprise me if the 49ers stayed put at 30, but I'd guess Baalke goes all Billy Draft Ace the ridiculous amount of Day 2 picks they are holding into high 2015 selections.

I think that's exactly it, the goal would be to flip them (perhaps bundled) for early picks next year.

It just sucks how expensive Eric Berry is, he's a top-5 pick on those old-school contracts. Trading him for a 2nd and grabbing Calvin Pryor as his replacement wouldn't be a bad move. I do love Eric though

It would be a monumentally stupid move. Why would it make sense to trade your best player in the secondary who's just starting to peak?

Trading Berry for a 2nd rounder would be seriously assed up. His cap number is going down a ton next year, we'd eat almost $5m of his current cap number, and he's an elite player just entering his prime years. I'd be...seriously pissed if that went down.

I can see the reasoning:

His current cap # is 11m+, which is ridiculous for a SS
The Chiefs have decent options at safety (Abdullah and Commings)
Chiefs are down draft picks and need to backfill a lot of positions
Chiefs could REALLY use his $8m+ cap hit for next year as they have key players at more important positions to extend (Smith and Houston)

I'd do it for a pick in the 15-20 range but no one is going to give that up so I hope he goes nowhere.

LiquidFriend

You free up space by getting rid of players on the downside, like Flowers and Hali.

Those two cuts alone free up 16.5 million in cap space, which is plenty to extend Alex Smith and Justin Houston.

E: Oh I forgot, walk away from the awful contract they gave to Chase Daniel. He'd give about 4 million in relief. :psyduck:

I do find it interesting that this trade, along with the Flowers trade and Alex Smith wanting Peyton Manning money is leaking on draft week.

Former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel maintained he would be excited to go to whatever NFL club drafts him during his media interviews Wednesday at the NFL Play 60 Youth Football Festival.

That's not the case, though, according to a report suggesting the former Texas A&M star would rather not land in Jacksonville.

The Jaguars hold the No. 3 overall pick and are among several clubs drafting in the top 10 that have a clear need at the quarterback position. Sports Illustrated reports that Manziel wouldn't care to hear his name called when Jacksonville turns in its card Thursday night. Manziel reportedly has no issue with the Jaguars' coaching staff, but isn't thrilled about Jacksonville as a location.
