I know we hate that word but maybe Risner, Campbell, Smith or a vet DB settle for a deal pre draft or you get a post draft cut. Other teams may cut a fringe starting guard or DE if they have a great draft at that position.
I know the simulators are mostly unrealistic, but in most trade backs you still land just about as good of a DE prospect at 17 as with 28. You could realistically draft competition at DE, S, G and another BPA even.
Agree completely. I donthinknit is gonna,be tough to find a good trade back partner at #17. Precisely because everyone knows tge talent at 16-60 is relatively flat. The same dynamic is in play at #49. And you don't get much for moving down in Rd3 (though we still could).
The only reasons to pay a premium to trade up are if a stud guy falls or if the team is desperate to fill a need and falls in love with a prospect.
In the first instance, we would likely be interested in the player falling (Warren, Walker, Johnson, Membou, W. Campbell, etc). Maybe Jeanty or Loveland or a WR would work for us.
I do think vet bargains and late cuts in FA are realistic. I'd love to get Trey done. With Tee, Chase, & Trey all locked up, we become a much more attractive destination for a vet to chase a ring.
