The Infamous Draft Day Trade


There you are sitting, waiting on your team to make their highly anticipated pick that is going to change the face of the franchise, when the alert buzzer goes off and Roger Goodell approaches the podium, just to tell you your there has been a trade. Your team suddenly has traded 15 spots lower for another 3 picks later in the draft, and your left sitting there with a feeling of betrayal. Well I'm going to point out possible teams looking to move up and down.
The Browns- with 10 picks in the draft, and already having been rumored to move up to the first spot in the draft to take Bradford, but Holmgren put an end to these talks. So look for the Browns to package picks and move up to take a QB at some point in the draft.
The Patriots- have four picks in the first two rounds of the draft and there’s a good chance the Patriots will packages one or more of those picks in a draft-day trade. They are not known for investing much of their franchise with the draft, partially because they never have high picks due to their success, but mostly because they are never rebuilding. But with two decent seasons and a team that looks like they couldn't possibly getting any older, it will be interesting to see them move up to take a early pick.
The 49ers- with their greatest need being a OT, and them having 2 mid first round picks, it would be hard for them not to trade up if the tackles start coming off the board as they are predicted to do before the 49ers pick at number 17.
