QB's are going to slide this year and a team might move up to #31 for a QB at the top of the second giving up at least a high 3rd round pick. That is the direction I would go because 30-40 to 45 is similar value in this class unless one of the top 20 slide.
Yeah this is more likely, I find myself doing just that with the few simulators I've done. There's a handful of corners left and you can easily slide back and get another pick as you said. If a stud like Dax Hill is close I'd deal a 4th to move up a few slots to secure him as a FS in waiting, dime back for now.
You grade situationally, but this roster could really use the mid round pick approach. As a contender, they'll get ring chasers so I get QueenCity's logic with roster slots. That's why if there isn't a clear BPA I'd look at getting more out of the few slots we have as a whole. A trade with Seattle is ideal as they could move down 11 slots to Seattle's 2nd, give up a low 5th and pickup Seattle's high 4th and both 5ths or something similar. More mid picks and less low picks. There isn't much separation if your DB (Elam) isn't there and the DT and UT class isn't top heavy. You get your "needs" to develop and still a few bpa slots.
