if we trade back in the first and pick up an extra 3rd rounder, then i'm ok with offering the hawks our 2nd rounder ,as long as earl has already agreed to a contract extension with us. anything else would be stupid on our front offices part, in regards to trading for "the earl ". 1st round = best player available at a position of need ( linebacker, guard/tackle , interior defensive line ). then our 2nd rounder goes to the hawks for earl. we now have 2 third round picks to cover two positions of need ( wr and whatever position we didnt take in the 1st round). possible happenings with a trade back.
1st round = da'ron payne , DL or will hernandez , guard
2nd round = traded for earl thomas
3rd round = josey jewell linebacker
3rd round = equanimeous st. brown WR or anthony miller WR
something along those lines would be sweet .
