Trade back from 2 after the Texans pick Clowney, pick up some ammo and the OT of your choice. Trade up to 6 (Falcons) and take Watkins. Of course this means we would have to trade with Cleveland(4) or Oakland(5).
Thoughts? Just kicking around ideas. Idk about giving up picks in such a deep draft, but this would sure as hell go a long way in helping fix the offense. The Falcons would probably want a lot for dropping 7 spots though. Isn't there a hypothetical chart for this crap?
Yes there is & if you take the time to review what Snead had done in the past with his trades you will find that he has closely used this draft chart. We have heard that its out of date & the draft value points are out of line that they are not as valuable, but I would contend that when the changes in the rookie cap wage this chart could be updated where the top first round selections like our 1.2 currently today have much more value than they did in 2010.

I do not believe that the Texans will select DE Jadeveon Clowney they will go QB. With that the Rams 1.2 picks puts Jadeveon in full play for teams who have great needs for a bonified 43 DE pass rusher? Do a quick review of the 2014 DE 43 top prospects & you will find that there are very few. What team has such a great need? Jags @ 1.3, Falcons 1.6, Bucs 1.7 & Vikings 1,8.
If the Rams want Watkins they need to remain in front of the Raiders @ 1.5 who also need a QB. If the Rams have OT's Matthews & Robinson as their targets they could go with the Falcons 1.6, Tampa 1.7 & possibly Viks @ 1.8. But @ the same time QB needy teams could also get in the mix for the second best QB too i.e. Jags @ 1.3, Browns 1.4, Raiders 1.5, possibly Bucs @ 1.7 & Viks @ 1.8..some of these teams are in need of a pass rusher too. Tricky & very messy for weak brain cells like mine.
....Snead will have to be on his toes for the possible fallout if the Texans do go QB. Guess Snead will have pre deal offers already in hand when we go on the clock depending what the Texans do.
It would seem from most everyone who makes a living around the NFL drafts...says this is the deepest draft in over a decade. Thus Wisdom would seem to indicate to me that it would be a very good ideal NOT to trade 2014 selections f
or UNKNOWN 2015 selection at anytime unless its a very extreme great offer.
Trading second day selections away for first day selections would be just as UNWISE IMO. I would desire to bank a trio 2nd & 3rd & 4th rounders this 2014 draft & one future second day pick for lets say that 1.13 (1.150 pts) first rounder if the Targeted Ram prospects are off the board.
