My conclusion from this is that I'd be willing to bet we trade back at some point in the draft. We've lost more than we've gained this offseason and while I don't think this team is in dire need of extra draft picks, history has shown we value draft picks more than the average team.
Of course this could mean nothing since they've done it before, but out of all the years to predict a trade back, I'd say this year is pretty likely.
Never thought of that, great point.
If Billings, Doctson and Coleman aren't there at our pick i would love for us to trade back even out of the first.
More picks in the 2nd and 3rd rounds would be great this year and that is usually where you find the best players.
Players get overrated by the combine and we forget about the guys that just know how to play football.
