Trade Down With Philly?

Now that the Giants have released Burress, they may be looking to move up with that extra pick they have for Shockey. #29 + #45 = 1090 points. Would you be willing to go down to #29 for "just" #45 as compensation? #45 is worth 450 points. Now Detroit could swap us #65 + #82 for that #45. The other option is New England trading #58 + #89 for that #45.

Why not deal with the Tuna? He's got extra picks. #25 + #56 = 1060 points.

Perhaps the Patriots would like Matthews at #15. #23 + #58 = 1080 points.

Just doing my due dilligence to see how I can get more 2nd and 3rd round picks.

How about the more likely case of dropping 4-6 spots once and then do that again with another team. That would would get you two more 3rds, most likely. Then two 3rds gets you back into the 2nd if you see someone you have to have. That is a lot of wheeling dealing, but the value in this draft is between #25 to the early 3rd round. So the more picks the merrier.

Well that is a possibility, I was just looking to see which team has "extra" picks that they may feel as if they are playing with house money. I have seen the idea floated that we could trade up using our "extra" 4th round pick that we got for Sage. If we are willing to perhaps trade down to #28 with Philly, we should also consider New England, Miami, and New York Giants. It's hard to say which scenario is more likely unless you have spoken with the GMs of those teams.
