I understand this is a mock, but the problem is once we trade #31, we have no idea what two 2nd or 3rd  round guys are available. Both of the guys could be long gone which makes it very risky for us.

At a minimum, if we trade out of #31, (our first round), I want an additional 2nd or 3rd round pick.
The rest of your draft has nothing to do with a trade.

I think the thing in this draft is that Winfrey would be the OP's pick if he couldn't trade out of 31.  By that logic, anything he can get and still get Winfrey is effectively free money.

My issue is moreso that if you're going to move up, it has to be either to fill a need or get a value.  He really did neither.  Anderson will likely take years to adjust to the speed of the game and learn all the aspects of the playbook required for the Swiss Army Knife he envisions.  That's compounded by a big reach for Taylor in the 2nd, who just doesn't show the make up speed on the field that his 40 would lead you believe he has.  He comes out of Day 2 with the #56, 82, and 102 prospects on the consensus big board, so he very likely could have just stayed put and got the same guys and had the option year on Winfrey.  

Apart from that, no S really kills this one for me. We literally don't have a 53 man rosterable S under contract for next year, so even if the plan is to re-up Bates and Bell, you have to at least take a flyer for depth on Day 3.
