papazoid Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 This is per Peter King of SI. This isn't gospel, but it may give you an idea if your team is going to be very active on the trade front this weekend. It's a chart of the number of draft-weekend trades the teams have made in the last five years, and the moral of the story is pretty simple: Don't expect Cincinnati and Arizona to be very fluid. Team Traded Up(1st #) Traded Down(2nd #) Total Trades (3rd#) Dallas 6 12 18 Green Bay 5 12 17 Philadelphia 7 7 14 Jacksonville 7 6 13 Cleveland 9 3 12 Detroit 9 3 12 Minnesota 6 5 11 Baltimore 6 5 11 New England 3 8 11 San Fran. 4 5 9 New Orleans 4 5 9 N.Y. Jets 5 4 9 Oakland 6 1 7 St. Louis 5 2 7 Indianapolis 3 3 6 Miami 3 3 6 Atlanta 4 2 6 Washington 2 4 6 Tampa Bay 1 5 6 Carolina 3 2 5 Pittsburgh 3 2 5 Seattle 3 2 5 Houston 1 4 5 Tennessee 1 4 5 Denver 3 1 4 N.Y. Giants 3 1 4 San Diego 2 2 4 Kansas City 1 3 4 Buffalo 3 0 3 Chicago 0 3 3 Arizona 1 0 1 Cincinnati 0 1 1
DaGimp Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 pretty interesting that the Bills don't trade down-seems like most of the good teams trade down often
papazoid Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 i do NOT want the Bills to trade "up" with the 11th (Cap value), wouldn't mind seeing them trade down with the 11th (depending on who was there). With the 28th pick, i would like to see them move "up" a little.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 i do NOT want the Bills to trade "up" with the 11th (Cap value), wouldn't mind seeing them trade down with the 11th (depending on who was there). With the 28th pick, i would like to see them move "up" a little. Yes agreed. And that raises the point again that it's too bad we weren't able to get that 21st pick from Philly. I'm having a hard time getting past that one.
OhIDunno Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Yes agreed. And that raises the point again that it's too bad we weren't able to get that 21st pick from Philly. I'm having a hard time getting past that one. Just breathe...deep breath in.....and exhale.....again, in...and out....there..now don't we feel better? Oh and have some of these
LabattBlue Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Just say NO to trading up! On a team that needs as much help as the Bills do, why give away draft picks to move up.
