that "Ossai guy"

Think of it like this:

If they didn't trade back and get those 2 4ths, they would have needed to find a pass rusher and offensive lineman somewhere in day 3. Maybe, since they didn't trade down, they now take a pass rusher in the 5th round instead of McPherson, as a kicker is often considered a "luxury pick."

That's how I've become okay with the trade down: It gave us Shooter :)

EDIT: Also of note, Ossai wasn't technically involved in the Carman trade (though having those extra 4th round picks may have influenced who we took in the 3rd round). We got Cam Sample, Tyler Shelvin and D'Ante Smith in the 4th. The Shelvin and Smith picks were the ones we got from New England.
