Deranged Rhino Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I actually wanted to throw this out there as well and did not want to start a new thread. What are people's thoughts on trading pick 50 this year and maybe a late round pick for a 1st round pick in 2016? I am kind of interested in that as an option. This way if they entered the 2016 draft with a need for a QB still they would be armed with the ammunition to go and get just about any of them. They could package their 2 1sts and even a 2nd if they wanted and get at or near the top of the draft board. They can trade a 3rd for an established vet lineman if they want (Mathis can be had for a 3rd). They will not really have any needs from this draft at that point. They can use the 3 late round picks that are left and UDFA to try to find some developmental players and maybe a depth player. Getting an extra first rounder next season would be ideal, I'd prefer it to taking a player at 50 (but I'm not a draftnik) for exactly that reason: flexibility. I don't know if many people would be willing to part with a future pick for 50 based on what I've read about this year's class, but a player + 50 is doable. Something like Goodwin plus the 50th pick might get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, it would have to be the perfect team who wanted a guy badly at 50 and had a hole at WR. There are tradable assets on the roster, Goodwin (in my mind) being the most expendable at the moment. I'm sure Leodis would get it done but I don't see Rex giving him up -- and I'm not sure I would either for that price. But I'd consider it.
