New Athletic mock us is trading with the Eagles for picks 50 and 53 so they can come up to take Graham Barton.
I wouldn’t in this scenario bc Amarius Mims goes 1 pick before us to SF. Xavier Worthy is also on the board so I’m not sure the Chiefs trade down in that scenario either.
If the top tackles were all gone would you sacrifice Xavier Worthy to trade 32 for 50 and 53 and have three 2nd rd picks?

If there is still an OT there, for sure. But I'm almost just leaning towards bringing Donovan Smith back and letting him and Wanya battle it out in TC. Maybe grab a raw OT in the 4th or 5th and see what they have too. [Reply]

I'd be fine with that if they think the other games outside of the Raiders game are more indicative of the guy we'll get in year 2. [Reply]
That’s interesting. It depends on who’s available obviously at 32 but if the top 6 WRs and LTs are gone, which includes Guyton, Mims, Ad Mitchell, and B Thomas. Yes, I’d move back and take a LT like Kingsley or the Yale LT, Kiran Am or ND’s Fisher. And then take Legette or Coleman if he falls that far. [Reply]
From what I’m hearing this will be one of the best 2nd rds in a long time.
I’ve listened to Nate Tice, Dane Brugler and Nick Jacobs (OL review) and they all have similar feelings about this 2nd rd being so good. These are the guys they love.
Koran Amegadjie OT Yale-elite footwork and body size. His feet are as fast as the best tackles in this class. He needs to develop his hands and leverage but he’s the ideal moldable LT. It’s not gonna be easy to beat him on the edge.
Brandon Dorlus DL Oregon-Screams Spags. Lined up everywhere on the DL. Isn’t a great bend type rusher but has elite athleticism for his size. He’s basically a shorter more athletic version or Charles Omenihu. Outstanding hands and short area speed.
Javon Baker WR UFC-only transferred bc he had Waddle, Devonta and J Williams keeping him on the bench. Excellent route running ability to go with size. He can manipulate DB’s in a similar way AB did by varying his routes. Chiefs had him in on a private visit.
Blake Fisher-Only reason he didn’t play LT is bc Joe Alt. Probably more of a RT but he’s got everything you could want there. Everyone thinks he’s gonna be a very good pro [Reply]
It's obviously tempting but it's still quite a way down. There'd have to be no one I like on the board, but still a bunch of dudes I'd be happy with in the 50s. Not sure that is the case for me personally. I don't see ANY way there's a day one starting-caliber OT on the board that late.
I guess if you want WR at 32, you'd be happy trading down.
Come to think of it, I'd probably rather go up for an OT than down for a WR. If we can hit on that position, I think it completely changes the offense for the next decade. Pat simply has never had that type of luxury, great blindside protection, and we've been blessed that Pat can overcome guys making his job harder.
I'm getting way off topic now but give me a starting LT early, a complimentary WR in round 2 to settle in behind Kelce/Rice/Hollywood, use that cap space wisely and let's roll. [Reply]
I think there are multiple ways do trade down and accomplish this. I don't think you have to drop all they way from 32 to the 50s. But after playing around on the simulators you can sure fill some needs and walk away with a hell of a draft. [Reply]
