Re: 2014 Combine

[QUOTE=NYCskinfan82;1060142]You are so right, but this IMO is how they make there money trade back pick up more good/great players diamonds in the rough. The 34th pick is basically a 1st round pick without the 5yr.[/QUOTE]

That is true about the contract and salary cap advantages of the high 2nd round pick vs. a late 1st round pick. Still, it could work both ways for the Skins. By that I mean they could take advantage of that position to move up as well as to move down.

A team that would rather be at #34 than in the late 1st round might not ask for very much in a trade. So, if the Skins have a player they rate highly in their sights who is still available in the late 1st round, they may be able to move up, as well, at a reasonable cost.

If they were to trade down, I wouldn't want them to trade down any further than the mid-to-late 2nd round. Also, if there is a difference maker on the board at #34, I hope the Skins will take him.
