Even if they went with the trade mentioned by the OP and added the 2nd rd 2019 pick outright, it would still be way short of being in the Jets favor. I don't think the draft value chart is that great a guide but if you went by that. Original trade scenario Jets 2019 1st rd = 2200 Skins 2019 1st rd = 1050 2019 5th rd = 34.5 2020 1st rd = 430 Jets shorted by 685.5 pts Add Skins 2019 2nd rd = 430 Jets are still shorted by 255.5 pts, you could add in Skins 3rd rd pick and it is still short Basically if the Skins want to move up to #3 they would need to start the conversation with 2019 1st, 2nd and 3rd, and 5th plus 2020 1st
The problem is everybody remembers the Skins trade for RGIII and the ridiculous haul the Rams got . I would think the Skins would be very hesitant to make a deal like that again for any of these QBs. These QBs are all wild cards and none of them come close to the 2018 class in my opinion anyway. That’s a long way to trade up. The Skins would probably want to wait and see how much further any of these QBs slide and move up a little closer and give up less than all the way to # 3. Any trade the Jets make will probably keep them picking in the top ten and would most likely be with Jax . Which equals a little less of a haul in return but also chances of a better prospect at # 7 rather than # 15. Just my opinion ...
That would undoubtedly be painful, but 7-8-1 might be their worst season for the foreseeable future. They've got a QB, OL, pass rush, and a few good skill position players. Back to our Jets, every trade down should be judged on its own merits. Let's say we move down to 15 this year and get a 2020 1st rounder which ends up being a top 5 pick. A QB needy team in the top 10 wants to move up to our spot and we can get a blue chip OL or skill position prospect at the new slot. I'd move down in a heartbeat as long as the haul we get back is adequate.
Oh, I completely agree. Was just having fun with it. If the value is there, always trade down and acquire more picks. For all it's worth, the draft is just an educated crapshoot. Most of the time draft picks are severely overvalued...and that's why you see players of Revis's HOF caliber traded for first rounders. That digression aside, there is a much higher chance of hitting on more players when you have more (quality) picks.
