But we need to be careful not to "reach" for a player at 17 because he may not be there at 49.


I know trading back can be risky of that player getting taken if going back too far, but that's why they need alternate options that they can pivot to.
Derrick Harmon is another that could be a good get if trading back into late 1st, early 2nd.

I think Bengals only trade back if they have a 1st round grade on more than 1 guy who has yet to be drafted. For example, if we trade back from 17 to 20, then we need 4 guys with a first round grade. I don;t think the pidegeon hole themselves at a certian position group in round one, they are looking at BPA and if that is team's # 1 position of need, then great, if not, they grab the BPA anyway.

I don't think a team trades down 3 or 4 spots hoping the top guy on their board falls to them.
