What Would be Really Nice to See

This would show me that 1.) They have a clear target and a plan. 2.) They're bold enough and proactive enough to make sure that plan is realized.

This would be something we haven't seen a ton of from them. Trade up and get your guy. I don't think the compensation needed would be that hard to swallow. Don't leave it to doubt. Don't hope you guy falls to you. Don't put yourself in a situation where you might have to settle on someone else because your guy went right in front of you.

I certainly won't knock them if this doesn't happen. But a move like this would be a breath of fresh air.

You want to see aggressiveness from them. I think I’d be on board with that too, it just depends on how much it would take to trade up.

But right now they are in line to pick either a bonifide first round lineman or a borderline first round lineman. Either way the player is a sure fire day 1 starter and that’s what matters right now.
