Realistic Trade Down Scenarios; 1 possibility w/ Atlanta, 4 possibilities w/ San Fran

[SteelBucks]

I'd take Atlanta's 30th overall pick and their 2014 first round pick for #17 in a heartbeat. The first round is supposed to be much better next year than this year. I won't lament losing out on Jarvis Jones this year if we could have 2 first rounders next year to possibly be able to move up for Jadeveon Clowney next year instead.

I like your thinking...

I wouldn't rule out Miami just yet. I mentioned in another thread they've already landed Wallace, if they trade up with the Steelers they would have 1.12 and 1.17 and two pick in the third round. They could want to try and make a splash to get the fan base excited.

I like this idea or with anyone for that matter. Drop in the first round and pick up picks next year when the talent is better. I bet that's what NE will be doing.

If Miami wanted to move up, they could give up their own 2nd round pick, the 2nd round pick they got from the Bears, and the 3rd round pick they got from the Colts in exchange for our 17th overall pick and our 4th rounder.

1.17 = 950
4.115 = 64

Total = 1014 points

2.42 = 480
2.54 = 360
3.82 = 180

Total = 1020 points

Miami has 11 picks now, so this trade would give them 10 (2 firsts, 1 third, 2 fourths, 2 fifths, and 3 sevenths).

We have 8 picks now, so this trade would give us 9 (3 seconds, 2 thirds, 1 fifth, 2 sixths, 1 seventh).

What could we do with this type of trade?
