    Nice info. Gives us something to at least guestimate when it comes to trading down.

    It has to be a worthwhile trade down. If we get a lower first and some "Scotty McKnight" picks then we'll end up wasting the lower round ones.

    Has to be a first + third or better.

    point wise, what is our 9th pick worth. like if we trade to pick 20, what are we most likely to get? a second round pick or a third round pick

    This chart is pretty accurate for the most part. Sometimes teams will overpay if they really like a player. According to the chart, if we traded down from #9 (1350 pts) to #20 (850 pts), we would get AT LEAST another 2nd (380 pts) or a future 1st (usually valued as the current #32 pick, if I am correct).

    My dream scenario is we trade the #9 pick to a team with a pick in the late teens (17-20) and pick up a 2nd and maybe a 5th then we have that first, two 2nds, a 3rd, maybe two 4th's (Tebow), and two 5th's

    1st
    2nd
    2nd
    3rd
    4th
    4th
    5th
    5th

    We could trade our 9 to the Carolina for their 14 and 44 or their 14,78 and 110.

    I always feel like the drop off after the third round is huge especially this year. Here's what I would like to see pick up

    Wamack At #14
    Oline Starter is what we need

    Bernard at 39 (if avail)
    RB to fill in as Greene leaves

    Nassib at 44, (or Wilson)

    QB of the Future

    Okafor, Bray or Cobi Hamilton at 73.
    Best Player available, OK good OLB for 3-4, Bye bye McElroy and bring in a backup who can start in a few. Second QB at this position could set us up, ie. Cousins in Washington.. Hamilton could be a game changer at WR.

    Brandon Jenkins or Shayne Skov in the 4th
    Some Drafts have these guys going in the 2nd to 4th. So hard to tell but either one would be good.
    Jenkins is coming off an injury year but to flip him with Coples at DE and OLB could put extreme pressure on QB. Skov ILB would be great in our depleted LB, he could end up being a tackling machine with Harris to stop the run.

    More Positions to fill, TE, G, RT or WR if we don't fill earlier.
    No way to tell who is going to be availble in the 5th. Here's a little wish list.
    Ryan Otto TE probably wont make it to the 5th round.
    Brandon Coleman, big WR, looks like Hernendez, maybe we can teach him to block
    Alec Lemon, Nassib's Wr to create comfort.
