Default We are either trading up or down or staying put

After spending way too much time in here consulting my sources (i.e., all y'all) I can say with certainty we are either trading up, or trading down or staying put.

We could trade up for Cox or Barron or Claiborne or we could stay put for Barron or DeCastro or Brockers or some really polarizing wildcard like Poe or we could trade down a few spots for DeCastro or Brockers or Poe or Gilmore or maybe somebody else or we could trade down quite a bit farther for McClellin and Konz or Zeitler or somebody else like Kirkpatrick. Or something entirely different.

Did I leave anything out? No doubt I have.

Congrats to Jerry and others for smoking that campfire up! In terms of uncertainty, this is the best draft I remember. And, with a few notable exceptions, I can live with most of these alternatives.
The truth almost always lies somewhere in between...

Except on CZ.

or staying UP (2AM for me) putting Down (names or for some players)or trading ESPN for NFL network
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair....Bertrand Russell

At this point I would say they stay put and see who drops to them in their slots. I think Jason is making a big influence in this way. You don't get large wins with the big trade up. At least now with the new CBA in place.

Me I would hope Miami passes on the QB and Cleveland calls to trade up with their second number 1 plus their number 2.
We take it. Then package the number 1 and out number 3 to move back closer to get the player we want.

I'm assuming you are in Germany, which means the draft *starts* at 2 a.m. Is that right? I thought I had it bad with EST and an alarm set at 5:50 a.m.

fanfromvirginia, I think you pretty well handled the excitements in round one that I am seeing...unless a bearer of great gifts comes along and things move down in the draft.
There's no right way to do the wrong thing.

To compete for the playoffs, Dallas has to improve here: Only four sacks against Eli Manning over the past six games!

Well we could always not make it to the podium in time and lose our pick...

Hey, you have to leave every option open for Jerry.

#Cowboys have had conversations with the #Chiefs about a potential trade up, and #Chargers about moving down: is.gd/QUf1VW
