I don't devalue future picks. 3d is a 3d. There is no good reason for future picks to be valued less than current year picks. In fact, if teams indeed work like that in the league, this should be one of the easiest ways to take advantage of GMs with old-fashioned attitudes towards assets. Pretty much every time I get such an offer I would take - this year's 3d for next year 2nd? DEAL! Over the long run you this type of deals should bring you SO MUCH value. 

The standard is there.

 

Not going to delve to deep into it.

 

Colts example:

Tony Ugoh

 

The Colts traded their 2008 first round pick to acquire Ugoh in the second round of the 2007 NFL Draft

Last years draft example:

Seahawks, Jaguars make another deal

Seahawks receive:
» 2019 seventh-round (No. 236; select WR John Ursua)

Jaguars receive:
» 2020 sixth-round pick

2018 Draft examples:

In a total surprise, New England makes another trade (sarcasm)

Patriots receive:
» 2019 third-round pick

Lions receive:
» 2018 fourth-round pick (No. 114) -- Da'Shawn Hand, DE, Alabama

Not going back any further.

 

So while you don't devalue future picks, the precedent is there.

I wouldn't expect them to add in a player of his status in that deal. Same for Dillard.

I agree mentioned him yesterday when the asking price as 2 1s

Oh I know... I just hope Ballard is not one of those GMs that subscribes to that one. In fact I would be hoping he's one of those that takes advantage of other GMs who do.

Agreed unless his OT/DE is there at 21 and might not be there later

think there will still be some promising OTs in Round Two (Cosmi? Little etc) BUT I suspect nearly all of the Edge guys worth picking may go in Round One, unless maybe it's one of the guys from Pitt (not sure if CB likes them anyway, post-Senior Bowl)

What was the offer

Friendly Reminder 

Please sign up for Gavin Mock Draft 

The offer Jaws reported.  I consider him reputable.  He is very well connected to the Eagles.  I think this was done intentionally by the Eagles to get the Bears to beat it and get this over with quickly.

The Colts offer says Ron Jaworski is....

 

— Two 2’s and perhaps another pick, a 3 or a 4.    The other pick sounds contingent on certain markers. 
 

No players named or hinted at.   Just picks. 

Thanks

I could get on board with that 

I don't wanna lose pick 21 at all

if that happened you know Ballard would just trade back to get 2 back

I'm already checking to see which teams have early-to-middle 2nd round picks--NYJ, Mia, Atl, etc

 

would be interesting if CB swung a trade down from #21 that included a 2nd round pick higher than Philly's....oh, the irony

It was Jaws so probably pretty accurate 

gotta think that Radunz, Little and maybe even Cosmi would still be there early in the 2nd round if CB did trade down from #21

 

if Darrisaw or maybe Jenkins dropped to #21 in Round One, maybe Ballard would go ahead and make the pick instead of trading down?

Correct, here are the details, as a refresher for those who may have missed it (which is understandable because this thread grows faster than Gremlins after you feed them after midnight):

    • That has always been my issue going back to the Polian years. They preferred undersized players to fit this scheme. That was great when they had a lead and played indoors. The problem  is that teams started running the ball to keep Peyton on the bench. Plus, u get in bad weather and on grass, their speed is negated and they are just a bunch of undersized players getting blown off the ball. I am in favor of building a team that can play in any environment and that can run various schemes. I see flexibility with the offence, however the D is the same old. That's why I think this is an important draft defensively. Will the Colts stray from their previous tendancies of drafting players that fit the Seattle scheme or will they deviate and say draft a man corner? Last year we were all on the edge of our seats when a trade was made at 3. Will we get our qb at 4? We were all on pins and needles till they made that pick. This draft has that same excitement for me. At 15 will Ballard and company do something different? This team needs a play maker on D and I contend that is their biggest need. I don't believe they get that player moving back.  Sure u may get him at 15 but if u really want a playmaker, this just might be the year to say move up and get a guy like Mirchell and Latu who may fall because of the medical. I am not in favor of getting a wr or te. Richardson, if he is the guy, should deliver explosive plays with our current roster.  Jot a fan of Gus and this scheme, but I really don't think he has a lot to work with and Ballard kind of eluded to that in his post season pressers.
    • The move happened before the 1984 season. To put in perspective how great Luck was here, here are the top 3 QBs over 40 seasons here win wise: Regular Season as a starter 1. Peyton Manning = 141 wins 2. Andrew Luck = 53 wins 3. Jim Harbaugh = 20 wins   Post Season as a starter 1. Peyton Manning = 9 wins (won the SB in 2006) 2. Andrew Luck = 4 wins 3. Jim Harbaugh = 2 wins   Luck had 33 more wins than Jim did and 2 more playoff wins than Jim did. Luck is so far ahead of any QB (not named Peyton) regarding wins in the Regular Season and Post Season that it is laughable.   
    • I wonder whether there's anything to his reporting. Either way, I think he'd be better at safety / nickel. Even if the Colts view him as a boundary corner, I think they view corner as a Day 2 position.    DeJean definitely helped himself on his testing. I don't think the 40 time was concerning, even if I wasn't blown away by it. His explosive numbers were very good; if you watch his high school basketball clips, you'll see his explosiveness. And like stitches said, the Colts love explosive DBs, maybe even more than they love fast DBs.    And yeah, I side-eye any timed speeds when they don't happen at the Combine. There's hand timing, some surfaces are different, I've read that some tracks have a slight grade to them, etc. I don't know how they prepare all the 40 tracks, but I know that everyone that runs at the Combine gets the same surface, same conditions, etc.
