NFL Draft Cost to trade up?

Mr. Laz · 04-23-2010, 10:29 AM

lets say the Chiefs want Clausen and are worried about Cleveland and/or Buffalo trading up.

what is the cost to trade with the Rams? or do you just risk him falling to us?

Round 2

1 (33)	Rams	--	--
2 (34)	Vikings (From Lions)	--	--
3 (35)	Buccaneers	--	--
4 (36)	Chiefs	--	--

I think the cost to trade up now is more than it would have been to jump into the end of the 1st round because so many teams have the opportunity to sit down, think about it, put together the best package and start negotiating against each other.

I would love to see Clausen in the 2nd round. I personally would like to see the Chiefs trade up with the Rams because frankly I dont think there is any way in hell that the Vikings dont take him at #34.

There's a 40 point difference between 33 and 36.

Our 5a pick is worth exactly 40 points.

The question is, will someone offer more than that to get their guy? I think so.

With so much talent left on the board i wouldn't be terribly upset if the Chiefs elected not to trade up. I'd be ****ing ecstatic if they did though. I wouldn't give up more than a 4th, a 5th prefered. Probably to the Rams.

Hell, it could be us. Maybe we ship 2 fifths. I wouldn't be opposed.

It will be the Bills or Browns that jump in front of us (and minny) to get him...

there was alot of talkin goin around last night that the vikes dont wana draft a QB because they dont wana scare favre into thinking that they are moving on without him.

A team moved up 3 or 4 spots at the end of the 1st round yesterday by swapping their third for another team's fourth rounder. If we absolutely have one guy left on our board that is heads above everyone else than the most we should consider trading for him is our fourth. At most. If the Rams aren't interested in that then screw them. There are too many good players in this draft to waste picks in bad trades.

Schefter just updated and said they both have called the Rams.

I'd send them Croyle & our 5th and I'd do it quickly.

Their depth chart right now is:
Bradford, AJ Feely, Keith Null & Mike Reilly.

Not that Croyle is really worth anything via trade, he just sweetens the pot and gives them some experienced depth that they don't have in Null or Reilly.
