Happy Easter and Passover;
I do this for fun not to enrage anyone. I spend time so nothing becomes "Maddenesque". It is for thought and conversation. It is not perfect nor am I a sage. I hope you enjoy it.



2015 3 Round Mock Draft with Trades and including compensatory picks

Starts with a QB Trade Rodeo to set our board. Because of inner division rivalries, multiple partners were needed.

Watch the “pea”. Please follow:

Philadelphia, Chicago and Cleveland in a three way exchange to start-

Philadelphia swaps Bradford to Chicago for Cutler and exchange of first round picks #7 Chicago because of the immense Cutler contract numbers (just a temporary move Bears fans)

Cleveland gives up pick #19 to Philly for Cutler They have the CAP room to take Cutler and he is better than everything they have or have ever had to this date (new Browns).

Why do not the Bears just offer Cleveland Cutler for a #1 pick? The Bears need a QB in return that the Browns cannot offer directly. Same reason the Rams did not outride trade Bradford to Clevelend.

Results-

The Eagles swap picks to get to #7 of the Bears (the price for Chicago to dump Cutler’s bad contract) to be in better position to Draft Mariotta and also receive first round pick #19 from Cleveland. Chip gets his guy plus a first rounder. Chip is fun! Can’t see other takers for Mariota. The Titans are bluffing. Washington gets a new QB (to follow) so they don’t have to burn a pick. Jets “Coach” Woody says Geno is better…..o.k. then.

Cleveland gets Cutler who they can afford CAP wide(ironically back with McCown). Less pressure on Cutler with a new address. OC John DeFilippo was a QB coach who helped Rookie QB Derek Carr develop quickly. Maybe he saves Cutler.

Chicago gets Bradford as another swap tool (stay tuned). They would not let Cutler go unless they got a QB in return. Cleveland has nothing but an ex-Bear QB and the Manzeil the train wreck, to exchange. No thanks.

Cincinnati, Washington and Chicago in the next three way exchange-

Cincinnati swaps Andy Dalton and a fourth round pick #105 they obtain from Chicago in this multi player exchange, to Washington for RGIII

Cincinnati then completes the multi-layer trade and receives Bradford from Chicago for RG III. In essence Bradford for Andy Dalton. First pick of Draft versus 3rd rounder. A stronger arm for deep threat A.J. Green.

Results-

Gruden gets Dalton who has made the playoffs every year. Gruden has coached Andy. Gruden can convince Snyder he got a playoff caliber QB and a decent pick to let RG III go. RGIII was not in Gruden’s plans.

Fox gets out of the Cutler debacle and gets a QB that needs a new start and becomes the new face in RG III for the Bears fans. But it costs the Bears a swap of picks in the first and a fourth rounder to get out of a bad QB contract. If RG III can get back to his Rookie year this is a steal for Fox. RGIII has some offensive tools in Chicago.

Cincinnati gets a more potentially talented QB and much stronger arm than Dalton in Bradford. He was NOT a fit for Philly no matter what was said and both QBs are the same age.

Now Round 1 of the mock.
