2015 Draft, Trade & Free Agent Discussion & Speculation Thread

[jusjoshin]

So you obviously watched Draft Day then? They turned pick 7 into pick 1, 7 and a good punt returner.

They turned pick 7 and three consecutive second rounders into pick 1, pick 7 and a good punt return. The second rounders they traded to get pick 6, which they on traded to get back their first rounders.

Meanwhile Bo Callahan literally filled his dacks as he got passed over and over and over.

Draft Day is a joke. Those trades wouls never happen in real life.

We yes and no.
I agree that they went a bit far in the movie but I can totally see a club holding another to ransom over a particular player. If you can trade picks or players during the draft then there will be a club somewhere that will find a way to make sure they get overs trading away a pick so that someone else can get the player they want. After all we see clubs bend each other over about the price of father-son/academy picks. Even though there is now a "fair measure" system in place, I am sure that we can all agree that clubs don't like free lunches when given to another and so are still going to try to manipulate it in their favour.

NFL teams haves charts that value what a lick is worth and do not deviate that much from. Trading for players is harder to value but some trades have been so one sided in the past teams are hesitant to do them.

I can appreciate that.
I imagine that there are whole teams dedicated to risk management for this stuff.

 

[Taylor]

They would pay their coaching and strategy staff really well too.

 

[se17enteen]

What if he returns to form next season? We would look like idiots.

The only experience I have with future pick trading is the Browns trading their first picks for three years and somehow turning pick (1 maybe?) into pick 4 and 7 because Dances with Wolves didn't rate the number one pick.

Is anyone else crossing fingers for Schulz to land at freo next year ??
I'd be pumped to see him in purple, especially if pav decides to go to stud...
Surely we'd be into him as a short term solution to our KPF stocks, there's no chatter around about it so I'm hoping we're in full stealth attack mode

I've seen it raised in a few articles.

Hey guys just wondering what you think of a trade like this.

Saints pick 6 for weller and freos pick 18ish.
freo on trade pick 6 and next years first rounder to gws for sunshine.

Saints get their speedy outside player & Pick 18
freo get the tall fwd they need
gws get pick 6 and freos first rounder (2016)

Pretty fair and even trade I think? ?

 

[Taylor]

Sunshine is?

 

[crasha301]

Sunshine is?

McCarthy

I really doubt McCarthy is worth pick 6 alone, let alone Pick 6 and Pick 18.

 

[Taylor]

And Weller and our next first round pick

A young contracted key fwd, you'll have to pay overs for.

 

[go_the_dockers]

A young contracted key fwd, you'll have to pay overs for.

Is that Schwabby ??

 

[malpaso]

A young contracted key fwd, you'll have to pay overs for.

McCarthy is not 'the' key forward though, he's best suited to second or third.

How about you keep pick 6,we trade our pick 18 for sunshine and we keep Weller as well. Mate you gotta be joking. Lol

 

[simpsonwillo]

Weller will end up being a top 10 pick, he's a serious gun in the making. Trading pick 6 and 18 would get us a Motlop

Going by this we are into Tarrant, Dixon and Jetta.

 

[Lach72]

Tarrant? We need broken down hacks?

He was taken with pick 14, contracted and has age on his side. No chance

 

[Wizard]

Tarrant? We need broken down hacks?

He has played the last 14 games without issue, confident his injury issues are behind him.

North don't have a great record with their rehab programs etc FWIW. Remember Jessie Smith and now Daniel Wells.
