Trade down draft thoughts?

I don’t have a single one with that many unless it was for fun and labeled as such. That said, I won’t be surprised if we make 10 picks or as high as 14…depending on how things fall. The whole overall number of picks is skewed because 4 picks are in the 7th round and hold little to no value in trade ups and have only basic utility value outside of drafting guys that will possibly be placed on pup and IR like the lBer from LSU, as one example.

When I trade back in the simulators, I usually balance the amount of picks out to keep the total number reasonable (10-12) while adding more picks in the second and third rounds because that’s where I feel the meat and orators of this draft are.

In the real draft, I feel the most likely scenario is for us to move up a few slots from 29 and then move a few slots down from 30 to recoup the pick we used to move up. Like picking at 24 and 37 while moving up a couple slots in the second and third.
