A lot on here really like Spiller but I have to go with Iupati, you win on the lines.
Spiller, hands down, if we trade up at all. It depends on how far and how expensive it is.
I certainly wouldn't consider moving up in the 1st for Iupati. I don't think he's that exceptional. I think he's a very good guard, and I'd love to have him, but he's not that good.
Spiller, OTOH, is an elite talent and the best offensive playmaker in the draft. We can get a very good OG in the 2nd round. There's only 1 Spiller in this draft.
I had a feeling you would say that Mayo. If we can get a solid OG in the 2nd not much to argue on that point.
My next question to you woud be anyone on defense YOU would move up for if we when that way instead of offense. Do you see anyone worth it?thanks
Stand pat Bill, trading up is only a fan fantasy.
I would not trade up for Iupati.
I would not trade up for Iupati.
Let's make it simple:
1. The only players I would consider moving up further than Atlanta at #19/20 are ILB Rolando McClain and CB Joe Haden (I'm not including Suh, who would cost our entire draft). If either was available in the 10-15 range then a trade-up should be considered, depending on the cost. I really hope we don't need to get a CB out of this draft, however.
2. Depending on how much BB liked them, I could see trading up to #19/20 with Atlanta for one or more players. This could be a small trade up from #22 (roughly the cost of a 4th round pick), or trading 2 of our 2nd round picks (such as #42/44 and 47/48 or 53; for example, 42 + 53 = 850 points, which is the value of the #20 pick.) The guys I think could possibly be included in this list are DE Carlos Dunlap, DE Jason Pierre-Paul, RB CJ Spiller and DT/DE Dan Williams, but it would totally depend on who BB likes and how much he likes them. For all I know he falls in love with Brian Price and thinks he's the 3-4 DE of the future. Nothing would surprise me at this point.
