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.

You got to ask yourself is it more important to sacrifice picks today for a solid starter even if you trade up or go for it all if an elite player is available the next draft
Are the picks they use to trade up this year likely to yield an elite prospect next year?
They won't use next years first and will still have a second next year plus the Rams 2nd.
I'd prefer not to use it, but if they feel it can net them a starting outside corner with high upside, go for it. [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.

What does that even mean?? You have no idea when you'll pick, or who will be available next year. There's a reason why next years picks are devalued a full round vs current year picks - you have no idea what those picks will look like, or who might be available. [Reply]
Why would anyone advocate pushing picks to next year when this draft is loaded?
Even in a vacuum that’s not smart...when you factor in having a Mahomes on a rookie deal and the defensive talent in this draft, it’s straight up silly to even suggest passing on this years talent to bank on “next year”. [Reply]

LOL, we'll have the exact discussion about being aggressive, but we won't have the capital to use because of the expenditure we used in 2018 [Reply]

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

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]
