2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 4)

[KI Skins Fan]

Per PFT, Jimmy Clausen will visit the Rams, Browns, and Bills prior to the draft. His visit to the Rams is irrelevant to the Skins for the purpose of trading down. But what if St. Louis picks Bradford at #1 and either the Browns or the Bills, or both, want Clausen and we don't?

I think we'd have to give very serious consideration to trading down with either Cleveland or Buffalo. We could end up with either the #7 or the #9 pick plus two high picks (I accidently typed "two high pricks" but I caught the error before I posted), including our own, in the 2nd round. Considering the holes we have to fill and the quality of this year's OT crop, we could do a lot of good with those three picks.

Ridiculous. No qb in the first ten picks?

Zero chance of that happening. He must have taken one too many hits.

If the Browns want to move up let's do a deal. The fourth and seventh picks in round one have a 300 point difference. We could do this deal if they trade up:

To Cleveland
1st round pick--4th overall (1800 points)

To Washington
1st round pick--7th overall (1500 points)
3rd round pick--71st overall (235 points)
5th round pick--133rd overall (40 points)
6th round pick--167th overall (25 points)

The points in this trade would be identical and the Skins would then have eight picks in the draft:
1) 7th overall
2) 37th overall
3) 71st overall
4) 100rd overall
5) 131st overall
5) 133rd overall
6) 167th overall
7) 195th overall

I understand that each pick represents a player, but why settle for low picks? If you don't want just one 2nd round pick, then why not demand both of Cleveland's third round picks (71st and 92nd).

That's 467 points but so what? The question for Cleveland is: "Do you want him or not?". Cleveland has 11 picks in the draft, so they certainly have the capacity to pony up the picks. We could send them a low round pick in the trade if it makes them feel better.

That would give us 5 picks in the top 100 and 7 picks overall.

1) 7th overall
2) 37th overall
3) 71st overall
4) 92nd overall
5) 100th overall
6) 131st overall

Good point...I guess it comes down to how much they want player X and are willing to pay for him. You can squeeze more juice if your guy is there and you got to have him (i.e.-Sanchez to Jets). The other approach is to get more picks to build the belly of your team.
