I just don't get the idea of "Trading Down" when we have 2nd Round Picks that are so close together (#43 and #50). The team has an opportunity to potentially draft 2 Top 50 Players, at positions of need that mostly likely will also be BPA, have them as starters for the next 5 years (baring no contract extension). Why would you trade 1 or both of them to move into the 3rd, 4th and 5th, where the chances of a "bust" greatly increase. It makes no sense what-so-ever.
Keep the damn picks, pick up an OL and TE (or 2 OL) and pencil them in for several more seasons.
Now, if after say the first 35 Picks are done and there is a panic run for what we need (OL, TE, CB, LB) then I could see trading back because A) Those left at a position of need is a bad value and B) PBA available is luxury, then I get trading back but then I would be trading for picks for the following year (2021).
And speaking of running to the podium, I agree that if Love some how fell you run your ass off to get him. Another interesting name is Brown, the DL from Auburn. If he slips and you can get up, pairing him with Hicks, and Goldman, that covers a lot of issues with the backend....
Agreed. He should keep the 2nds and draft BPA with a little bit of lean towards oline. (Which will probably be BPA when he picks anyway.)
He doesn't need to get cute. Last time he didn't get cute we got Roquan, which was a solid pick.
You could argue that it's not so much that he hits in the later rounds and blows high picks, as it is his misses come from trading up and trying to get cute.
