Let's talk Trade DOWN options

[Wozzy]

Considering the large holes at LT, DT and WR the Pats should trade back, also package some of those later picks to move up.

Real value is found at the end of the first, second and top of the third. The Pats should maneuver to own the second round with multiple picks.

If we trade down.
I'd be happy to take a chance on Golden & Simmons or Conerly

Let's assume we can only get an extra second. How far are people willing to trade down?

In a trade back I would want one of McMillan, Membou or Campbell to be available with the pick we get. So probably not past 10.

The concern I have is that they are reliant on the following to want to move up:
5) Jacksonville Jaguars
6) Las Vegas Raiders
7) New York Jets
8) Carolina Panthers
9) New Orleans Saints
10) Chicago Bears

There's no guarantee they want to part with any draft capital at all.

If all we had was to watch Campbell's game play and knew nothing about measurements most on here would be all in on drafting him. He clearly looks the part of a good to great LT. I think back to pics of Brady at the combine and everyone saying he has no athleticism and would at best be a back up. No one could measure the fight in the dog and right now I bet Will Campbell is fuming inside because its all about a tape measurement and less about the body of work. I am warming up to if Carter/Hunter are gone taking him and lets see if he can shut up everyone moaning about his arm length. If he struggles (I'm not convinced he will) then move him to guard because he is going to be good at one position or the other.

You must have missed Thuney playing LT in the Super Bowl. He was traded after that performance.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

If hunter is gone I would at least be listening to the offers if there is a team out there desperate enough for sanders. If you can grab a 2nd or 3rd then id take it and then grab tet or Campbell , at least one should be there as long as you stay in the top 10.

The front office may think differently and be completely in love with someone.

more or less this, maybe 12 at the deepest

You must have missed my last sentence. I will share it with you again....." If he struggles (I'm not convinced he will) then move him to guard because he is going to be good at one position or the other."

 

[Ochmed Jones]

QB Jaxson Dart is flying up a couple of draft boards.
Profootball Focus has his going #3 in their latest mock.
Mel Kiper has him going #9 in his latest mock.
If the interest continues to grow this could increase the value of Pats pick #4 or the value of later picks (in the case of the Pats trading down a few spots)

One of the networks said Pittsburgh was zeroed in on dart!!!

 

[Dragda]

Get two high picks or don’t do anything. We need offense depth and impact players. I don’t think we can get a lot but a couple teams may want Sanders and start a bidding war. Get a few extra picks so you can get a big time RB or WR after LT with first pick.

 

[TomPatriot]

Gator armed Campbell is not a stud at tackle in the nfl, he would be a stud guard tho. Do you draft a guard at 4th overall? I say no way

Penei Sewell is one of the best tackles in the NFL. With short arm length.

Not a huge fan of arm length alone devaluing an offensive tackle.

Sorry but it’s a major red flag

How many successful starting left tackles in the NFL have had a 32 5/8” wing span?

How many left tackles have been drafted in the first round in nfl history with a wingspan below 33”?

Penni sux, Alligator arms.
Didn't you know this?

And there are a lot of tackles with longer arm length who never made it.

The big cutoff used to be 34” and now it’s 33. Why? It’s obvious. It’s just one metric among many, not the perfect predictor. Ask Callahan, Dante or most other OL coaches. It reminds me of when they said Deion couldn’t tackle.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

He couldn't, and didn't want to.

 

[tuckeverlasting]

Give me Emeba

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Horrible

If we picked up an extra 2nd Round Pick in this draft, I'd like to trade far down enough to still have a shot at (in no particular order): Offense-Tyler Warren, Matthew Golden, Emeka Egbuka, Colston Loveland. Defense-Jalon Walker, Jihaad Campbell, Will Johnson, Shemar Stewart.
