Falcons ‘most likely’ partner if Texans deal No. 1 pick in 2014 NFL draft

[IDEXAN]

I read it as swap firsts this year, get their 1st next year and their third this year.

Done !

‏@evansilva More Werder: "Word on the street" is #Texans asking #Falcons for RG3-like haul to get from 6 to 1. (That was 3 1st-rounders & 2nd-rounder.)

If Rick pulls this off after getting a pick in trade for Schaub....

Asking is one thing.

Getting is quite another.

but I'll sure be cheering for them to get this done but won't be surprised if ATL says "that's too much; pass."

I read it as swap firsts this year, get their 1st next year and their third this year. Need something else as it appears Atlanta does not want to give up their 2nd round pick.

Adding their first next year and 3rd this year is sufficient to trade up 5 spots imo. This draft is stacked. "Our guy" may still be there at 6 and if not we will have a 1st next year plus the 3rd to make us happy with the alternative option.

As would I. We need to kill it in a trade or draft our guy.

I disagree with this. Killing it in this draft is getting a couple of extra picks. It's just so deep that there's not a ton of incentive to throw a bunch of picks at a team and move up to get "that guy".

It's my opinion that if the Texans don't make a trade, then they're stuck taking a guy.

So give us an acceptible trade scenario in your eyes.

I'm cool with swapping 2014 1's, 2014 3rd and 2015 1st.If you could talk them out of 2014 4th, that would be pure gravy for me.

Pigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered. I value the extra picks in this draft much more than I do any particular player at 1.1, and this is a buyers market, not a sellers.

Unlikely to happen. So is this, imo...

If a trade happens the truth is probably between the two and more likely to be closer the 2nd one than the first.

Assuming the Texans really have 6 dudes rated pretty much the same getting one of them and getting a good pick this year and 1st next along with paying the dude less is the point of trading down. I personally don't care about a silly trade chart or making sure that I raped the team trading up.

More assets for something I might have done anyway is a good thing.

Dang right that's a deal, do it now Rick !

My final prediciton is this. Falcons swap 1st round picks with Texans, Falcons also give the Texans their 2nd rounder this year and next years 1st rounder and 3rd rounder. Falcons select Clowney, and Texans select Bortles.

I would be good with this

I'm pretty sure no one is going to sell the farm for a freakin' DE.

Dammit I wish rick smith would take a deal that would be more reasonable. Maybe it's atl that's not being reasonable. Either way please please deal the top pick.

I would not mind if the pick the Clown! Trading down would be also great, but who would take the bait? I'm hoping OB & Romeo will let have a lot of say in this Draft, because Rick sucks at picking from round 3-7. Maybe they will slip him a tranquilizer before the Texans pick!

I'd have taken Buffalo's 1st, 4th, & next year's first to move down to 9
