They have a glaring need at cornerback and the top cover men will be long gone by the time they are on the clock if they stay put at No. 54. They need to get into the range of picks 35-40 in order to secure a Day One starter at that position, and many around the league expect them to make that happen.

I’m interested in moving the Peters pick to move up as well as the other 2 or 3 from next year to do so because of the value we would be getting for those picks this year as opposed to next.
Ok, now that's an argument I can at least respect. I can't argue if next year's talent is better or worse than this year since I really haven't followed the college game for the last 2 to 3 years. Now I mostly wait until pre-combine and start watching youtube highlights of top prospects and positions of need (this year would be G, CB, NT/DT, etc.)
I guess for me it depends on the situation. If a clear top 10 talent falls to pick 20 then yes, it might be time to move. If a top 15 player falls to 28 the same.
So I guess I'm saying if it's a person we have rated much higher than the current position AND we get a fair trade do it... [Reply]

You actually want the first round contract, especially a late first. You get that cheap 5th year if the guy hits. [Reply]

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]
I mean you seriously think these teams want picks this year in rounds 2 through 4 but are going to be happy with next year's rams pick and this year's 2nd?
That's not helping this year.
This year's 3rd and a 2nd next is even more idiotic [Reply]

But we will see
I used the draft value chart for scenarios I proposed and none of them included using multiple picks this year to move up.
I want them to use the Peters pick from LA and possibly another 2 or 3 from next year depending on how the draft plays out and who’s on the board.
If this draft has (and it does) 3rd round talents that project to fall to the mid 4th, I have no problem moving a pick or 2 in next years draft to go get them now.
I want Mahomes to not just score a lot, but to win a lot.
Load the defense and take advantage of the true strengths of the 2018 draft to do so. [Reply]

Look through Bill Billicecks draft trade history.
He loves trading down for future picks in trades just like that.
He’s at pick 31 and Philly wants to move down and has 32. If we threw them a 2+4 this year and the Peters pick, that’s probably a done deal. [Reply]

I don't know how realistic it is to think that many teams are going to want to trade down for picks in next season's draft. I mean a few trades happened last year that were for next seasons selection:
So it seems any draft pick in 2019 is valued as 1 round later in 2018 (2019 Rams 2nd round pick valued as a 3rd round pick in 2018). Further more lets look at some early 2nd round pick trades from last season:
Out of all those trades the Bills dropped the most by 12 spots- I just think teams who want to move down do so to recoup draft picks for this season specifically. Maybe there's another Kamara trade out there to acquire some more 2018 draft capital but it's not gonna be an easy task to load up in this draft class. We just don't have the picks to do so. [Reply]
