Tampa get's thier man and gives up thier 2nd rd pick. Detriot looking to get ahead of Cincy to draft a CB. Jets get the Lion's 3 Rd pick & 5th Rd pick this year & next years 4th Rd pick.
I was with you till you picked Jones... I would have taken Hightower, but that's just me. And your 20th pick to the Titans... The Saints are not giving up Mark Ingram!
All that talent and a trade down? Sorry WW85 but I would cringe. I don't see how we risk not taking Floyd or even one of the OLBs at 16.
I would love a trade like that in principle - I just don't think it's how Tanny works. I have a weird feeling we might be trading up.
What OLB talent at 16. Ingram, Upshaw??? I like both players, but they're not locks to be better than Jones. All these DE/OLB players have risks If I could get another Rd 3 & 5 pick and get Jones, that's a great deal
I'd go with that. I think you missed the Eagles trading up for Fletcher Cox though. I think that's the single most likely trade up on draft day. I'd be happy with either Jones, Hightower or Martin on the 23 after the trade down.
I heard on NFLN that the Lions are scared to death not getting Gilmore or Kirkpatrick. Also, I have a good friend who lives in Port Huron, Mich and he's hearing, on local radio, the Lions are looking to move past Cincy to get a CB.
As much as I don't like Ingram, I'd rather take him at 16 than trade back for Jones. If we did trade down I'd rather have Perry or Upshaw. I guess differences in opinion. Maybe I'm heartbroken that Floyd wasn't picked since I like him so much for this team or that I didn't see Hightower selected in the trade down. I don't hate Jones I just get so hesitant about guys who shoot up draft boards who haven't had that much production.
I don't see the Jets trading down with both Floyd and Ingram on the board. If they are gone, maybe but very doubtful with them available as in your mock. I don't like the idea of passing on Floyd but couldn't be disappointed if this is how it plays out.
That's a possibility, I've heard the Eagles love Cox. Gilmore makes some sense, it could be DRC's last season as an Eagle and he's the BPA.
I guess I'm different than most who make mocks. If I went with my heart, I'd be drafting Hightower. This isn't what I want, it's what I think the Jet's might do tonight. The Lions' rumor is very strong and to get a 3rd, 5th & next years 4th for 7 picks....is a good deal and probably still get the player they would've drafted at #16.
btw, I love the trade-back with Detroit. That would be a nice glut of picks to get to move back only 7 places
I'd rather Hightower if we went back to 23. You're far more knowledgeable than me about the draft WW, but I think Hightower is going to be a versatile play maker. David Harris and Dont'a Hightower, that would be sick. Weren't you mocking him to us at 16 a couple of weeks ago?
I understand where you're coming from, I try and do the same when I make a mock in not being bias. I'd be all for that trade down , adding those picks is ideal, I just would rather us take someone different at 23 but with the recent interest in him as well as hype I see why you took Jones in a trade down. Any interest of trading back into the first or up in the second with those added picks?
