If the meat is 3 4 and 5 why would you trade multiple of those picks for one? That line of thinking makes no sense [Reply]

That’s why they’ll be trying to deal all night Thursday. If they stick … The Eagles have a 35-year-old left tackle, Jason Peters, coming off major injury, and starting guards (Stefan Wisniewski and Brandon Brooks) who will be 29 this season. Connor’s the perfect pick for them, in the unlikely event they stick.

Where could this come into play? Cleveland (four), Indianapolis (six), Baltimore (16), Seattle (18), New England (23, 31), New Orleans (27), Philadelphia (32). “This is not your typical draft,” said one veteran club official Sunday. “The second, third and even fourth rounds are gold. You can take less than the trade-value chart says and still make a very good trade if you get multiple picks in those rounds.”
A trade with Philly makes too much sense seeing as how Veach used to work with everyone there. 2nd, first 3rd and a 6th sounds fair to me.
OR...
sit tight with the FIVE picks we have from 54-124 and enjoy the deep draft class.
I'd love to grab a blue chip CB too, but givin the way the board is shaping out, i lean towards sitting tight, and the MOST i do is move up 10-15 in the 2nd round, and only offer a 4th to do it. [Reply]

I don’t think Veach wants to come out of this draft without an instant day 1 starter that he can really believe in at corner.
I’m thinking he wants one of the top 6. I’m going with Isaiah Oliver. [Reply]

I can’t put into words how foolish I think it is to always have the mentality to trade down in the draft because the “elite guys are in next years draft”
It makes my skin crawl.
There are elite players at positions of need for us IN THIS DRAFT.
We have a cost controlled QB with elite potential.

If Tyreek is your reasoning, you're out of your mind. He had major character concerns, causing him to drop dramatically. Finding a gem late is very rare occurrence. One outlier does not reset the norm.
You're like the people who say drafting a QB high is a waste, because Brady was a 6th rounder. [Reply]

He asked I provided an answer, with the same FO practically intact [Reply]

and the other comment about extra picks
Tyreek, Bro
Tyreek
Where will this elite pass rusher be found next year? The 2nd round? Elite pass rushing prospects make it to the 2nd round? [Reply]

with a 1st at our disposal we could angle for a top 10 pick again.
Chris Jones is in that 2nd round elite category and was projected as a top 10 pick if stayed for another year [Reply]
