We might have a trade partner, Buffalo is determine to get a franchise QB out this draft and rumors have it they're eyeing Geno Smith. With both Cleveland and Arizona standing in they're way, we would be the logical spot to trade up too. Especially with Chief's being out the running after trading for Alex Smith. We could fall to Buffalo's spot and pick up a couple extra picks and take Desmond Trufant or if we're lucky Milliner will fall to Buffalo's spot. Thoughts??

Go look at my mock draft in the wish list thread. This is the exact scenario I'd been advocating. Geno is almost a lock to fall to 5 unless the Eagles fall in love with him. Buffalo needs to leapfrog at least Arizona and possibly Cleveland so they'd have to come to us. We move to 8 get their 3rd and 4th and maybe a pick next year. At 8 I was looking at Warmack or Vaccaro, but if Milliner is there or one of the DE's they're also a possibility.

Cowboys gave up their second round pick to move up and get Claiborne at 6 last year. I would say discussions begin with a second.

Well nice post, I'll have to treasure hunt more next time.

Wasn't trying to call you out, just saying I agree with this scenario.

In this draft and for this team a 3rd and 4th may be better than a 2nd.

There is a very good crop of tier 2 CBs, WRs, RBs, and even DEs. Not great talent at the top of the board outside of 3-4 players, but great depth throughout.

My bad, I got u. Lane Johnson could fit that scenario maybe.

Kenny Vacarro

I'd take the 2nd, you could always turn that into a 3rd and a 4th if there isn't anything you like in the 2nd.

This draft seriously sucks. There are maybe 2 TOP-TIER players, and both are offensive tackles. Maybe throw Sharrif Floyd in that category.

About trading down, I don't love the idea. If we trade with Buffalo, we won't get Fisher because they'll take Geno Smith, and Arizona will take Fisher instantly with the chance to. I'd rather have Zona get paranoid and feel like Cleveland will take Geno, then trade down 2 spots for a 3rd and still get Fisher since Cleveland already has 2 good tackles.

The only way I'd be comfortable with trading out of Fisher's range is if we got a 2nd and 3rd.

This is the Lions, Mayhew will use that 2nd to move back up into the end of the 1st and it will cost us a 4th rounder!

Fisher won't last past Philly.

Haha, your probably right.

I was thinking to rationally, I apologize.

I still don't get why people keep projecting Philly to take Joeckel/Fisher.

Peters was the best LT before his injury. At the very worst he'll be above average, and their RT, Hermaness or something like that, he's nearly a Pro-Bowl caliber tackle. I think they go for a 3-4 DE/DT like Star or Shariff Floyd, Dee Milliner, or Jarvis Jones to get a rush LB for their new 3-4 front.

That's a BIG if when referring to peters potential return, especially considering the importance of a left tackle in chip Kelly's offense. I agree they need some new faces for their 3-4 and some corners, but when u have a chance at taking a left tackle, a true left tackle, u have to take him when u have that position as a need.
