One note with the Ravens being willing to trade down... LT is by far their biggest need, and a position that is hard to address outside round 1. When I stacked my board for them in the mock draft I knew they had a high percentage chance to get Stanley at 6, who represents very little dropoff after Tunsil. But Stanley won't make it to 15.
IMO if the Rams get the Ravens to deal it's gonna be costly. After Stanley there's a lot of dropoff for the LT position, they are looking at guys like Conklin and Spriggs. Rams will need to compensate for that.
Outside of the RGIII trade a second rounder was the price for a move into the top ten.
Depends on the situation, how far down the trade is, etc. If a team is targeting a player, misses out, and the next player they crave will likely be available later, they will take less than if a player they really want is available. Depends on how much time there is to negotiate too. Competition for the trade up, etc. In this case, it would normally take a 2nd and either a third or fourth to move up from 15 to 6. They will ask for at least that much, and possibly settle for less - but how likely is it that there are no other offers to move up for Goff?
But yes, Ozzie has a history of wanting lots of picks and counting on being able to find bargains, especially on defense.
You make good points about availability and demand. If Goff is on the board at 6 our only legit competition in front of us is the 49ers and maybe Eagles at 8 and after their massive investment in FA QBs I'm not sure how excited they will be to give up even more assets to get a 3rd QB. The 49ers aren't giving up second rounder to move up one spot and we own the Eagles 2nd rounder, which they wouldn't give up for 2 spots anyway. Teams like the Broncos and Jets pick way behind us and would have to offer even more. If Goff is on the board at 6 the Rams are in the best position to offer valuable picks this year.
I see Conlin more as a RT. And I Like Spriggs a lot more than Conklin!One note with the Ravens being willing to trade down...
