Draft Trade Partners for Pick 31

[Water Boy]

Anyone have any plausible trade scenarios for pick 31?

If the OTs and top Edge guys (Mesidoor and the like) are off the board I'd be highly in favor of a trade back into the 2nd round.
You would think pick 31 would make a nice trade for a team wanting to select Ty Simpson. Arizona and Pittsburgh might be the only teams in on him early in the draft.

Pittsburgh has three 3rd rounders. They could easily leap frog ahead of Arizona at 36 by offering pick 54 (370 pt) and 76 (210 pt) for pick 31 (600 pt).

That would give us 4 picks in the top 100.

Most likely scenario is Ty Simpson is still on the board and someone wants tp leapfrog the QB-needy Jets (33) or Arizona (34).

Best case scenario:

- Arizona trades 34 and 104 to NE for 31
- NE gets the same player at 34 that they would have taken at 31
- NE uses 104 to pick up another valuable player, or uses 1 of their 3 4ths to trade up from 63 or 95.

Examples:

Option A.

34. Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona St.
63. Dani Dennis Sutton, EDGE, Penn St.
97. Ted Hurst, WR, Georgia St.
104. Sam Roush, TE, Stanford
125. VJ Payne, S, Kansas St.
131. Kaleb Elarms-Orr, LB, TCU

Option B.

34. Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona St.
*** Trade 63 and 131 to Jacksonville for 56
63. Treydan Stukes, S/nickel, Arizona
97. Keyron Crawford, EDGE, Auburn
104. Sam Roush, TE, Stanford
125. De'Zhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss

The most obvious one to me, and I've said this for a while now, is Miami, which has the 43rd pick and a bunch of 3rd rounders.
They may want to draft 3 first rounders, won't be a threat to win the division, which makes them a good in-division trade partner.
This draft has depth in the top 4 or 5 rounds and after the top 14 picks or so it will be a very unpredictable draft.
I say get as many picks between 40 and 130 as you can. It will at worst add much needed depth to this roster and with a trade down we will have the ammo to not miss out on most every position of need.
We have those four 6th rounders to use as well and we won't be using them on any special teamers (K, P, LS), like last year.

I wonder if WR might be what people may want to trade up for. If Omar Cooper Jr, KC Concepcion are gone by 31 and Boston is sitting there with a bit of a drop off to Bernard, Brazzell, Lance, Hurst and Bell, a team might want to jump up for Boston. Cleveland and KC would be the most likely possibilities although both have multiple 1st rounders so may have already addressed the position.
