Yep. A trade down to say 13-15 which is where I want to be would net us a 1st, 2 2nds, and a 3rd. I’d do that in a heartbeat. If we stay obviously pick is Sewell

This is why in a trade down scenario, I don’t want to drop too far. And if Sewell is there at 3, you definitely don’t trade down. Pick the best player, end of story.

That was in a very weak draft class. This years draft is considered best and deepest posssiboy ever in terms of oline. Better than the wr class if this past year and deeper. If I can trade back, still get og1 and ot3 and still get 2 other top 100 picks extra? U take that all day. U gotta improve theoverall team
