The tough part about having a one round mock with trades is that, well, it's only 1 round. We don't get to use the theoretical extra picks we acquire in later rounds.

If I'm only getting to project ONE of my team's picks, of what benefit is it to me to trade down and not get to exercise that one pick until later in the round? If we were doing, say, the 2nd and 3rd rounds, then I'd get to enjoy the spoils of my trade by getting to exercise those extra picks. The way things stand now, though, what's my motivation to trade down and pick up later picks that I'll never get to use?

In real life I may not make the offer above but for this it is more of a thought exercise.  Play out the experiment and see where it goes. 

 

The next draft is the time to be the real GM alas with no trades.

Need more than that...

 

#3   2200 pts

#8   1400 pts

#43 too Low

 

I still need 800 points plus 300

 

OK - make your pick?.

The right pick for the Jets IMO.  If Bosa had gone #2 then Allen for the Jets.

It is. Although both teams (49ers and Jets would benefit from moving back as well)

Theoretically speaking, what “benefit” do you get from any of this?  

 

It’s all make believe

Surely you understand what I'm saying, right?

I get that.  But I’m just hoping people won’t make dumb trades because it won’t affect them just for this draft 

Is Williams really worth moving up for?  Is he a clearly better prospect than Oliver

I do, but the reality of the situation is as I stated.  I’m sitting at 7 with the jags,  I could’ve offered a first, 2nd and 3rd for #2–#3 to get Allen, Bosa or Williams.  I didn’t.  Why?  Because it probably won’t happen irl and it doesn’t benefit me in the least.

He’s clearly better than Oliver imo.  I get that it’s not the consensus around here, but I’d move up for him.

Adam Schefter is reporting that the Raiders are not opposed to trading down and staying in the top 10.

 

Ian Rappaport is still worthless after the AB thing, but he confirms.

Put a poll back up!

 

Don’t need to. The Bills will offer to trade up to 5 and every position after so long as Williams is still there

Are you working out a trade?

I put out some Feelers, but didn’t get any response.

 

With the 4th pick in the 2019 NFL draft; the Oakland Raiders select, Devin White, LB, LSU. 

 

I thought about Williams, but we like our young interior guys. Sweat and Burns both seem high right here. This guy will captain the defense for years to come.

I agree.  That's a lot if you consider Oliver a equal value player 4 spot later.

I think Williams is considered a much better prospect, but I’d rather the Bills stay put in real life.

 

However, for this mock isn’t simulating a trade the whole point?

I agree.  4 spots to Oliver with one sure pick in Williams.  The other 3 may not go 3DT so possible.  Giants may hold the key at #6 - pick a QB please.

 

I expect on draft day while the sequence may not play out like this, it is possible.
