No one's going to beat you up for being wrong because this stuff is impossible to predict.  

 

So throw it out there, what do you think Grigs does with #24 tonight?  (Not what he should do, but what he actually does.)

 

Your options are:

 

A: Trade up with ____ team.  (You need to name the team.)

 

B. Trade down with ____ team (Again name the team)

 

C. Draft _____ (name the player)

 

If you select trade up or trade down, I don't expect you lay out all the details of the trade, but at least name the team we are trading with.

 

If you have a reason for this view, state it, but you don't need to. 

 

My selection: We draft OG/C Johnathan Cooper at 24.

 

My reasons: Interior linemen don't get drafted much in the top half of the first round.  While some positions especially QB's get pushed up a bit, Guards get pushed down a bit.   So this means especially with Warmack on the board, Cooper probably is available at 24.

 

Cooper also looks like he can play Center or Guard.  We could use improvement at both.

Don't think Cooper will be there, but anything's possible this year.  I'll stick with Larry Warford at #24.  (Trade down is very possible, but I have no idea who might be offerin' what...so, I'll pass on the trade.)

I like your consistency on Warford...I really do!!!  Was discussing him yet again today....playing Alabama instead of Elon :)

 

Valpo????  Cooper at center.....NOOOOOOO!  Get Satele out of town and stay mean on the fron with Ship.....if we do get Cooper...GUARD!!!!   :)

I agree with you because we need a guard more then a center.  But we could do better then Shipley at Center.  (That isn't to say that we couldn't do worse).  While Cooper would a bigger upgrade at guard, I think he would still be an upgrade at center over Shipley or Satele.

Yeah, Cooper started one game in his career at center and it admittedly didn't go well.

We could have done better with Saturday too.......lil chubby doughboy from UNC......

 

Shipley did fine with Luck...avg over 100 yards rushing with him at center, and wanted to play through injury (unlike Satele and his head bobs)...Cooper needs to stay pure.

 

If you draft a center, I would go Frederick because he was a road grading guard at 336 who has lost weight to become the top rated center prospect by many.  Then again....I do not draft a center....we have 3 including Mc------G---Awful.  :)

I could be wrong but I think Cooper falls to us.  They always play up the guard prospects a lot and wonder if these guys could go in the top half of the first round.  But they just don't.  Decastro was played up a ton in the 2012 draft with the same questions of if he could go in the top half of the first round.  He was the first guard off the board at #24.  

 

If Warmack is the first guard off the board, I don't see how Cooper doesn't fall to us.  

 

Biggest risk, which I admit could happen is that a team likes Cooper more then Warmack.

B, trade with the Eagles.. get their 2nd @ 35,   and their 3rd @ 67

 

get Warford with the 2nd  and  either Jamie Collins/Lemonier with 3rd or Blidi Wreh-Wilson are new # 2 corner...

Interesting.....Kind of like it....  like this guy?

I think we will know...at about the 15 minute mark.....if his BPA is close.....and Grigs trusts the guys behind him to follow through...an extra pick would be SWEET! :thmup:

 

If the reports of us getting calls for #24 are true, then trading down and picking up some extra mid round picks would be great.  Especially in this draft.

Grigs likes to make deals with his old team, so I could see it happening.  But it seems to me like we could get a little more then just a 2nd and a 3rd for #24.  But it certainly wouldn't be a bad trade if we did that.

      Poll - QB Preference (now that PR has officially retired) (merge)

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      I could actually see Watson going there, I never believed Tua would be great either. Too injury prone for one and as a rookie he didn't look good. Fitzpatrick looked better IMO. 3 scenario's I could see playing out are Watson gets traded to Miami, Rodgers gets traded to SF, and Stafford gets traded to us. We will see how accurate I am with this, Rodgers may even retire? I don't see him playing another game another game in GB, his body language after that loss was bad.

      Qb for next year/QB class of 2021 (merge)

      By EastStreet · Posted

      Here's the Lions team needs (farther below), so Oke would fit the bill. Given his performance and PFF though this year, not sure he'd be something that tilted the scale. If Carolina, Denver, Dallas, or San Fran wanted to be players, we'd have to make up a decent delta between draft picks. So for instance, if Detroit's asking price is a first, and next year's second,   San Fran's #12 is basically worth our #12 AND our #54 out of the gate. And we'd still have to give them next year's 2nd. Oke isn't worth a #54 IMO. Rock might perk their interests given CB is a primary need. It's a decent draft for CBs, so not sure he'd close the gap either. Also something to consider, Detroit's cap space is about zero. They'd save of course 20ish by letting Stafford go, but still won't be looking to spend big (so our rooks, on rook deals, might be attractive).   Primary - QB, WR, CB Secondary - LB, IDL, OT, LB, IDL Ancillary - WR, S, EDGE No need - TE, RB   Here are the teams and draft pick that could be looking for a QB before us 8 Carolina 9 Denver 10 Dallas 11 NYG 12 San Fran 15 Pats 19 Wash 20 Chicago   Bears and Giants are in the negative on cap space, Panthers don't have a much (5.5). San Fran 9.3, but they'd save by cutting Jimmy.

      i disagree with the adjective "very", and also think he'd need tier 1 WRs, which the Colts don't have. He's just way to limited.

      Irsay was not at fault for moving the colts?

      By The Old Crow · Posted

      As I said, the biggest mistake was the lack of stadium. We should have built it for Rosenbloom, but once they traded franchises , they should have built one for Irsay. That was the main point, it was all about money and revenue.  I believe Irsay would have moved eminent domain , or not. The reason Baltimore brought eminent domain is because they thought it was a done deal that he was going to move, based on the negotiations he and Chernoff were having in numerous cities. You have to also remember he was still making money in Baltimore, just not as much as he possibly could in another city. The attendance was depressed because of the product on the field , destroying the mid- seventies teams, Elway, the helicopter drop in at Jacksonville, etc. I’m not defending eminent domain , but just explaining what led up to it, as well as low Colt attendance at the time.
