Carter & Hunter gone by 4# Trade down?

To trade or not to trade?

Doubt there will be any teams that want to trade up. This is a very even draft, apart from 2 players and no gun QB's.

 

[Nunchucks]

If they are both gone then there is a qb on the board and the patriots might be able to trade down a couple spots.

Campbell or Graham

This may be the only scenario. Raiders, Jets, Saints trade partners

 

[gobesmug]

Graham or trade down hoping a QB needy team wants to move up for whichever QB is remaining

 

[RobertWeathers]

Campbell or Graham

Agree 100%. Both critical needs and those two can play

It depends entirely on the situation. You get the most value out of a trade down when it involves a QB. This is a terrible QB draft and most fanbases are hoping their teams won't overextend for someone like Sanders. If Ward falls to 4 it becomes a different story because now you can have a few teams bidding for a player they thought they had no shot at it.

The most likely draft scenario right now is also the worst one for us. Hunter/Carter/Ward go top 3 and us deciding between picking Graham at 4 OR getting lowballed in a trade down for some team that is willing to try out Sanders but isn't going to spend the farm on it.

Graham also isn't a terrible consolation prize.

Graham is the only one i would consider at 4 in that scenario. If they don’t view him as exceptional i would do my best to trade down for a 2nd rder and get one of the ot’s or edge rushers in the 6-10 range.

But based on what I’ve read graham would be tough to pass up. Having 2 game wreckers up front if barmore is back, hopefully freeing up white and a fa edge or one at the top of rd 2. If you can address lt and rt in fa this is the way to go and suddenly its looking pretty good up front for us , again pending barmore’s health.

From what I understand, Graham is a real culture guy, and one that would fit nicely. I would not be shocked if they took him at #4.

 

[Toofy]

Don't overthink it, draft Hunter or Graham at 4. At least you get a contributor and if we pick up their 5th year option or extend their contract that's good enough for me.

 

[condon84]

Carter, Hunter or Graham. None of the OLs are worth a top 5 pick.

For us amateurs/fans who don't have the first clue in evaluating NFL talent at a quantifiable level, it's impossible to say if Player X is a top 3, top 5, or top 10 pick. We just read what other "experts" say and if we've watched the games and Player X makes plays consistently vs NFL-caliber talent then we have the formings of an opinion.

Based on watching him play and the "experts", it seems Graham is worthy pick at #4. There is the concern about arm length but the man is ridiculously quick, insane motor, and as you say has a great attitude.

If he is there at #4 I would not be a fan of trading down.

This seems to be the year that everyone has short arms.

Yep. Most have Campbell going picks 8-12.

 

[Keyser Söze]

If Campbell is going to be a G in the NFL no freaking way. His arm measurements at the combine will determine a lot.

According to the "experts" DTs should have an arm length of 30-34 in. In Graham, we aren't talk about a T-Rex here. I'm sure he will grade out fine.

Yea there is so much still unknown about Campbell.

 

[PatsFan2]

I would Trade down if a Second comes with the package and a future Day 1 selection. That said I feel they are going to like Mason Graham he could be special... Defense wins Championships.

 

[PatsFan2]

Campbell or Graham

T-Rex arms Campbell hell to the No!!
