i'd approve:
redskins get - #25 and reiff
vikings get - #66 and williams ($16m/yr deal)
The Viking Age@TheVikingAge
The #Vikings are reportedly interested in trading for #Redskins LT Trent Williams
Is this a move they should make?
According to the draft chart, #25 is worth 720 pts. and #66 is 260 pts.
The difference would be 460 pts., which is equivalent to pick #44, which 16 spots (half of one round) ahead of where we pick in the second round.
Count me out. I would not even part with my second round pick plus Reiff. Third rounder, yes. He's going to come here and tweek his injury and we're going to be stuck with a big salary.
I was saying about a month ago or so that it's time for the Vikings to get younger. It's a good draft. #25 might yield to us a serious cornerback. #66 will get us some backup who may not be ready to play this year. He might be on the list of inactives each week, which means he will take a roster spot, but won't contribute. That's what you can typically expect from pick #66. Oh, I know Trader Rick will probably use that to trade up with his second rounder. Let's see what he could get.
Pick #66 is 260 pts. plus pick #58 is 320 pts. Together that makes 580 pts., which is equivalent to pick #33. (First pick in the second round)
So then the Vikings would have picks 22 and 33. It's like they would have traded back only 8 spots with their second first rounder, but they would have also sacrificed their own second round pick. Think about that. Giving up a second round pick and move back out of the first round.
Count me out. The Vikings have a lot of draft pick capital. In this draft I want them to move up, especially after the first two picks. It's very expensive to move up in the first round. So let me give you an example.
Pick #58 is 320 pts. Pick #89 is 145 pts. Together that's 465 points. Note that both of our third round picks do not equal that late second selection that we now have. Anyway, 465 pts. will get you pick #43.5. Then the Vikings could have three picks in the first, say 44 picks. Offensive line, wide receiver and cornerback. All three would be expected to start. The pick #44 would be a player who thought he likely would go in the first round- someone that we are even talking about at #25. That would be a quality pick. Still we would have a third selection- the compensatory pick which is actually more like an early fourth rounder. So the rest of the draft would be for depth, but we should get three starters. I would be pumped with that.
