Trade back scenarios for QB needy teams that want to re-enter the back of rd 1
Obviously there is a lot of debate around QB talent. Most seem to not have many (high) 1st round grades on QBs, but because some teams are so desperate they might reach in rd 1. However the more likely result I think is for those teams to trade back into the bottom of round 1. Which could be our chance to get more picks as ammunition. However since we already have 12 we might not be looking for more picks. But I guess it depends on which players we really like and which players are still available, as usual.
Just as a baseline, here are our recent trade backs - shown as pick (value from value chart):
2012 MINN: our 29 (640) for their 35 (550) and 98 (108) = 18 advantage in pick value
2010 DEN: our 25 (720) for their 43 (470), 70 (240) and 114 (66) = 56 advantage in pick value
So, here are my most likely scenarios for a team looking to re-enter at the back of rd 1 to get a QB.
1) BUFFALO - our 32 (590) for their 41 (490), 105 (84) and 143 (34.5) = 18.5 advantage in pick value
Yes I am aware Buff just got Kolb, but I think they still have interest in drafting a "franchise" QB. Maybe Nassib.
2) ARIZONA - our 32 (590) for their 38 (520) and 103 (88) = 18 advantage in pick value
Even if they land Carson Palmer they still might be interested in landing a young QB.
In general, we are looking at trading a low 1 for a high 2 and a high 4.

Re: Trade back scenarios for QB needy teams that want to re-enter the back of rd 1
Teams that could use some of our picks should we acquire more by trading back (e.g. we would have 14-15 picks)
INDY only has picks in 1, 3, 4, 6 and Mr. Irrelevant (5 total). We have a connection with Chuck.
NE only has picks in 1, 2, 3 and 7 (2) (5 total). Not sure if they would trade with us given our ongoing rivalry.
DET has 6 total picks but none in rd 4. Their picks are pretty high in each round.
KC has 7 total picks, but none in rd 2. Plus all of their picks are at the top of the rounds.

MIA, MINN and SF are loaded with picks in rds. 1-4. I think they each have at least 6 picks in the first four rounds.
I'm pretty jealous of their picks this year. Especially SF.
I have no clue how we are going to use 12 picks. Of which we can trade 8.

Re: Trade back scenarios for QB needy teams that want to re-enter the back of rd 1
I totally agree that this scenario is pretty likely. The recent QB movement (Kolb/Flynn & likely Palmer) have made it more probable. Too bad Oakland doesn't have a 2nd round pick, as they would be a possible trade partner too. It seems like the draft could pan out to where there isn't that one, great prospect at 32 that should have been drafted much higher (say Olgetree or Vaccaro). Therefore, Ravens could have a number of guys with similar grades and are willing to move back and still get one.
I'd like to see them use some of the extra picks to gain an extra 2nd/3rd rounder. Imagine trading back and having 2 2nds and 2 3rds.

Re: Trade back scenarios for QB needy teams that want to re-enter the back of rd 1
I really hope that the QBs all drop so that it makes our pick more valuable to those at the top of round 2 versus a bunch go and that pushes a player down to us. I would really like to see the Ravens drop down get some more picks. Package those picks up to move up so that they have more picks in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rounds. Ravens really need to pull around 4-5 starter quality players out of this draft. Not starters in year 1 but solid starters in years 2-5. This is a great draft to do that. All the value is really in rounds 2-3.

Re: Trade back scenarios for QB needy teams that want to re-enter the back of rd 1
Whats the chances a team like Jacksonville and Arizona get into a bidding war for our 32 pick and over trade and give us their 3rd rounder?
We'd end up with a high 2nd, our original 2nd, a high 3rd and our original 3rd round pick, plus two 4th round picks. There is a lot of value to be had there. For arguments sake you could come out of the draft with....
