Depends who the players are left on the board.

I think this is capital to make trades on draft day and/or 100% chance that we draft the punter.

Or, they looked at it and said, "We only slide 13 picks and get a seventh rounder in return. The odds are that the guy we want will still be there 13 picks later anyway. Its essentially acquiring a free pick, plus comes with cap savings."

Need three sixths and a seventh to take fliers on other positions after they spend their fifth on a punter.

Or trade up in the first for a premier blue chip player.

BB has more success on 6th rounders than 2nd rounders doesn't he? At least it feels far more painful when he screws up the 2nd round picks. I don't think anybody will be bothered if he drafts 3x special teamers in round 6. At least it might feel better than when he uses our 2nd rounders on those types of players.

This is a classic Gif however it makes me laugh everytime.

I like it...slide back 13 slots and pick up a 7th for an UDFA we wouldn't be able to otherwise sign after the draft...

I agree. I assume there is a UDFA that the draft committee agrees on and wants the 7th for that guy.

But the Pats won the trade per the draft value chart, so maybe it was the Texans dumping some picks because they have too many? No real way to know. If the Pats went to the Texans with the trade proposal to lock in a 7th, why would the Texans agree unless the trade value was in their favor (I am arguing against myself)?

Bill is getting warmed up, starting early. What’s the most trades by a single team in one draft? He may be going for the record.

And I'd like to see him start at #21 itself for another Day 2 pick.

I hope you're ready for disappointment Chris lol

Why not wait until Saturday and see how it plays out? I do not get it?

It’s all gonna depend on who is there at 21. From the sounds of it, everyone is wanting to move down, and not up. I’m sure it makes the cost of moving up cheaper. I was hopeful he could somehow add another 2nd or 3rd in a trade down, and maybe a gimme 6th or later. Right now, it doesn’t seem likely.

Drop 13 spots and get an additional pick that you can use to trade around the board from the onset.
