Mel Kiper's Final Mock

You could also take that pick and trade it for Hopkins and not be out anything.

No way they'd give up that much value.

It'd be something more like 31+95 for 36+77.

Maybe you'd pry away an additional late day 3 pick from them to account for a bit more of the 5th-year option, like 177 or 182 or something like that.

Interesting, I've been wondering the same myself. Seems somewhat likely that there's a team out there that wants a QB bad enough they'd give us something worth having for that 5th year option and come knocking at #31. Use he extra capital to get Hopkins maybe.

Rumor has it that Baltimore is finalizing a deal for Hopkins. I'm not holding my breath on that happening.

They might give up something worthwhile but they aren't going to give up a high 3rd to move up 5 spots, 5th year option or not (which really isn't all that valuable for a QB anymore anyhow).
