(there goes your cap space for the year for everyone bitching about spending it)

I use www.walterfootball.com as a mock draft guideline

Trades (All trades are extremely close on the draft pick value chart):

#9 and a 5th to NYJ for #17 and #53 (NYJ does it for their QB, either Sanchez or Freeman)

#17 and #73 to MIA for #25, #56, and #87 (MIA moves up in round 1 for a WR, and moves up in the 3rd, gives up their lower 2nd for it, and already have 2 second this year thanks to the Jason Taylor trade).

#25 to TEN for #30 and #94 (TEN sees the WR's coming off the boards and moves up for the one they want)



#30: Knowshown Moreno, RB, GA - I know I know, it's not a need, but I'm looking for playmakers, and Moreno is just that. Adds a whole new dimension to our backfield with his ability to catch, and makes our offense one of the most feared in the league.




#41 and #94 to PIT for #32 (PIT needs depth on the O/D lines, sees the ability to move back and still get a great player.


#32: Sean Smith, CB/S, UTAH - This guy is 6-4, 215, and has crazy athletic ability. He can walk in and start at SS for us, and move back to CB when/if Woodson/Harris move on or are traded. A little higher potential than Jenkins, but a little more risk as well, but I love his versatility.




#53 and #84 to CLE for #36 (CLE realizes they've got a ton of holes to fill and moves down).


#36: Jamon Meredith, OT, SC - One of the most athletic linemen in the draft. Steps in at RT and takes over for Tauscher from day one, eventually moves to the left side to protect Rodgers' blind side.




#56: Cody Brown, OLB, UCONN - Here's your rush OLB next year. Had 16.5 sacks his last 2 years of college and almost 30 TFL's. About the same size as AJ Hawk (6'2'' 245) and fits right into our new defense.




#87: Dorell Scott, DE/DT, CLEM - I know everyone's crying for some D-line depth, and it's hear with Scott. He can play DE and could spell Pickett at NT for some time if needed.



#109: Mitch King, DE, IOWA - Similar to Aaron Kampman as a bit undersized and unheralded, but has a history of playing on the other side offensive lines and provides some depth on the D-Line.


So basically, my dream draft:

Knowshown Moreno
Sean Smith
Jamon Meredith
Cody Brown
Dorell Scott
Mitch King

Thoughts?

It sounds as if Sanchez may be moving up and won't be available at 9.

I like Meridith and Brown

Realistically, wayyy to many trades, even for TT. The picks, however, are pretty solid.

4 trades is too many?

Yes and no. In a draft as a whole, 4 trades is quite a few, but not uncommon. In the 4 rounds that you posted about, however, 4 trades is too many. This is especially true considering that TT has traded up but once and you have him moving up twice in the span of four picks. Not entirely plausible.

Just a couple of things....

1.) I'd be extremely surprised if Moreno would last longer then pick 20 at the latest.

2.) Way too many small school players IMO. For every small school prospect that makes it in the NFL; there are probally 10 that don't. Personally prefer players from big schools that faced tougher comp and played in big games. Put it this way: small school players are like a big fish in a small pond; but get gobbled up in the ocean. The transitional period and adjustment is bigger and takes more time as a general rule for a small school prospect; which is also why the falior rate is also higher.

Wait, let me get this straight:

Georgia
Utah
South Carolina
Uconn
Clemson
Iowa

are small schools??? Come on guys!!!!
