    Realistic high potential trade targets

    I have been thinking about realistic trade targets for all positions as I start to plan out my CFM. Would love to get a discussion going on **realistic trade targets. I typically think about this as someone who is not starting and is below 80 OVR (Maybe even 75 and below this year). Someone who could blossom if given the opportunity, but not someone that a team clearly would not currently trade.

    Example: ILB Chris Kirksey (Browns)

    Wouldn't it be easiest to go through rosters and see which players have the ratings you're looking for, and trade for them?

      uhh sure, but this is a forum where people discuss things..many players meet rating criteria, but not all meet the realistic trade scenario.

        I understand what a forum is, but it's an awfully specific thing you're looking to do. The theory of "Realistic" will vary based on each user. It's not like a sleeper thread or something very general. You're looking for linebackers who are good players, but "realistic" trade peices. Just see who you like, determine their value, and determine who can be had in your realm of realism.

        Some people think all first and 2nd round picks aren't realistic trade peices. Some people thing everyone who isn't a high caliber QB is a realistic trade peice. Some people think trading for player with certain overall and under and realistic.

        It's based on your theory of realistic.

          Ronald Leary(Cowboys) and Josh McCown(Browns) come to mind right away

            Leary a perfect example, thanks! McCown too, but I could see CLE trying keep him as RGIII insurance

              Titans WR Justin Hunter, he's on the outside looking in. Titans also have a few RBs like Sankey and Cobb. some of these guys could be roster cuts as well.

                All very true, especially Cobb IMO

                  I think older veterans on teams that start out terrible are realistic. Philip Rivers, Antonio Gates, Cutler for example. Say they start out 0-3 or 0-4 in your CFM. A team that started hot that believes themselves to be a QB away may pony up some picks for Cutler/Rivers. Other than that I think Josh Gordon is realistic as well. Maybe Mcfadden or Morris in Dallas.

                      Can only speak for my Vikings, but really the only person would be Jerrick Mckinnon. I think he's more of a really good number 2 than a starter, but you could work him up on Madden.

                      Vikings love him, but he's not untouchable like a Eric Kendricks or Danielle Hunter.

                        McKinnon has amazing Madden ratings this year. High ball carrier moves, Carey, and speed.

                          Kaepernick on the Niners. Watch his stats and if he doesn't perform, he's out.

                            Justin Hunter is a good personal friend of mine. Would hate to see him cut from the Titans!

                              As a Jets fan, I say Sheldon Richardson. They locked up Mo and have Leonard as the other guy. I can't imagine them extending Sheldon since you can't really fit all three guys in a base 3-4 since none are NT, so it makes more sense to allocate that money to other positions.
