CBS mock - Texans trade down twice
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/...rent-in-trade/
I noticed with amusement a CBS columnist's mock which had the Texans trading down twice to escape the entire first round. They deal #23 to the Patriots, along with their 6th, for #32 and #73 (a mid-third). Note: CBS listed the pick as the 74th which belongs to Buffalo, which is consistent with the Patriots' cheating ways, but I will presume he meant the 73rd which New England currently owns. My opinion: Dropping nine places in the lower first round to get only a third and giving up the sixth-round choice is settling way too low. Add in their fourth-rounder (134th) and I might consider it. Otherwise, not enough. Back to the CBS guy, he then has us trade down from #32 to the New York Giants for #37 and adding a pair of fifths (#142 and #143). My opinion: Dropping five spots and getting a pair of fifths sounds adequate if you think the value in this draft is in the fifth round. Otherwise, I would have held out for a third or fourth. Perhaps, we could package the two fifths for a 4th. What it would leave us is: No first-rounder, 3 second-rounders, 2 third-rounders, no fourth-rounders, 3 fifth-rounders, no sixth-rounders, 1 seventh-rounder. I guess if you are targeting a lot of second-round talent you think are just as good as what you'd get in the first round, it might be a sound strategy. Otherwise, I'd recommend staying at #23 and using the second second-round choice (#55) as my bait for trading down to add choices. |
