Vea
If you look at how the draft unfolded, it's pretty easy to see that Vea was our of the question.
To move ahead of Tampa (who took Vea) you'd have to have the planets align perfectly and have Miami decide that want to pass on stealing Minkah Fitzpatrick so we could give them our 1st and 2nd round picks. But if they did, the trade would be us giving up Vander Esch and Conner Williams for Vea..
IF (huge if) everything went perfectly. To move higher it would just get worse.
James
More reasonable possibl;ity but still not easy.
To get James, our target would probably need to be Oakland--who seemed up for dropping down that day because Miller was their target and was getting overdrafted a bit.
So if they decided to risk passing on Miller at 15 (after already risking it at 10 and having that risk pay off) and hoping he was there at 19, we could maybe get them to trade pick 15 and a 7th to us for picks 19 and 81.
So we trade LVE and Gallup for James and a 7th.
Again, BIG if that they would even drop down there.
