Draft Gurus…cost of trading up to #6? (20 Viewers)

[Treybad]

So any of you know what it would probably take for us to trade up to 6? If Sanders or Ward falls... trying to prepare myself....

Based on history looks like less than a 2nd but more than a 3rd. So take that for whatever that means lol

0 chance we trade up to 6 for Sanders. Very high chance we trade up to 6 for Ward

If we trade up to 6, I want Mason Graham.

You're posting this right after they fully guaranteed $40 million to Carr? There is zero chance they are taking a QB in the 1st.

If one of Ward or Sanders falls to 9 I can see it, but let’s be real that isn’t happening.

Ok maybe I shouldn't have mentioned who we would trade up for....
I was just curious if anyone had an idea on what it would cost us to trade up to 6... My guess if we do trade up 6th is probably the spot.....

Will Campbell will be my pick 10 out of 10 times.

Puts Fuaga in his natural position and slide Penning in at guard.

That line healthy is top 10.

Here's a draft value chart



#6 = 1600
#9 = 1350

So a 250 difference.

That's worth about an early 3rd.

A future pick is usually devalued a round. So an early 2027 2nd.

You can mix and match others as well to make the difference.

if penning can play guard

For the love of all that's good and true in this world....

PLEASE DON'T.

That’s a lot of moving parts. I think the more likely scenario is that Campbell slips in at LG esp with the short arms comments (not something I’m saying, just repeating what negatives I’m hearing).

On the surface that sounds right but next year is the final year of his contract,
Mr. don't take a pay cut is due $50 million in salary in 2026 (plus the pro rated signing bonus).
Mr. don't take a pay cut already has $40 million in in dead cap the following year in 2027.
In other words unless they extend him he will count $50+ million in dead cap whether they take the hit next year or kick the can one more time.
If he has a guy he loves you absolutely take a QB in the 1st. Sounds like Ward is the only one that might fit that category & he will be long gone.

For anyone but Ward, no.

Our team is garbage and has no depth anywhere. If anything I'd accumulate picks and even trade out of round one if I could trade back a couple of times.

I also wouldn't be upset if they just took the best player available at 9.

Saints do not have a 1st round grade on Sanders and wouldn’t take him at 9 much less trade up for him per Underhill.
