At least with someone like Orlando Brown, that's probably true. Tunsil is 26 so he's a possibility as well. Plus both of those guys would start right away, day 1.
My fear with trading up in the first round is Eric Fisher.
They took Fisher #1 overall to "lock up the LT position for 12 years". He played EIGHT and now he's done. Not only that but he wasn't ready to play LT year 1 so they tried him on the right side and he was terrible. About the time Eric Fisher was ready to play at an elite level, he ended up no longer on the team.
I'm just not down with it.
If they really want to trade picks, go get Orlando Brown.
Otherwise, stay put in the draft, get a guy like Villanueva and try to spread the risk around.

Fisher was the best of one of the worst drafts ever.
I don’t have any problem trading up this year bc the prospects are much better than Fisher was. I have full trust that a LT we trade up for will be solid for years. That’s how much faith I have in Veach, Andy and our scouts.
I really don’t understand the injury fear? If Tyreek Hill ruptures his Achilles he’ll never be as good again. Still very good, but not like before.
Anyone can get injured at any time in this game. It sucks but it shouldn’t deter you from getting a player.
I really do think that last years rookie class gave us a shit load of leverage. I have strong confidence in Gay from what I’ve seen. I think he’s gonna be the best LB we’ve had since DJ (not saying much but still). If Niang hits and is even decent? Then damn that’s an A+ rookie class.
Just keep getting your Fenton’s Danna’s, Wharton’s, Sneeds and Thornhill and we’ll be fine. Even Hardman has value
