Draft Day Trade I'd like to see


The J-E-T-S are silly desperate for a WR right now. If Evans is available at #8, I'd love to the the Vikes trade back with the Jets to #18, picking up a 2nd, 6th and swap of our 4th for their 3rd. Per the chart, the move down from #8 to #18 is 500 points. Jets #49 is 410, #195 (6th round) is worth 13.4 and the swap of their 3rd rounder (#80) for Minny's 4th (#108) is a differential of 112 points. That a 500 pt vs. 535 pt chart value. Doable.

At 18, we either pick up a sliding QB or grab a top CB like Denard or Gilbert.

Then, either we sit at #40 and take either the best available Guard (Su'a Filo or Yankey), or trade #40, the Vikings 4th rounder and the Jet's 6th rounder to the MN-West (who is rumored to be looking to trade down) to get a sliding QB at #32. That's a near perfect 510 point a piece swap.

At #49 (Jet's pick), you could get Van Noy for the LB corp.

Then, the Vikings would have 3 third round picks (#72, Jet's #80, and Seattle's #96). They could do some serious BPA shopping for DE, RB, S, or LB in those ranges.

Oh, all all this wheeling / dealing still gives Trader Rick his magic number of 10 picks to restock the cupboards.

At the end, the picks look like this:

1.18, 1.32, 2.49, 3.72, 3.80, 3.96, 5.148, 6.184, 7.223

And if the top WR's are gone and we can't suck in the Jet's, do a similar deal with someone desperate to snag the rising Aaron Donald.

After too many weeks, FINALLY! Happy Draft Day everyone.
