The G-Men are willing to trade away the 7th overall...I've heard numerous times that our GM might consider trading up and I believe this is the time. We are close and maybe moving up and getting another impact player in the first round will get us over the hump, no?

To do that, you're giving up 24 and 56 and next year's first-rounder. No thanks.

We'd be giving up next year's first and then some. You'd have to be ok with that. We're just too far back in this draft.

It would be stupid in the extreme so I guess Jerry might do it

I highly doubt they wanna trade that much. This team is run from the draft. We barely sign outside guys.

I get it but don't you think at some point you have to decide if this is the year we go all in?

I don't necessarily have a problem with giving up multiple firsts to get a great player. But you really need to be sure. Think of the Bears trading up for Trubisky, or the Giants for Daniel Jones. That's pure comedy central!!! We probably all laugh about it over a few beers to this day.

This draft is weird. I think the only player I would be comfortable doing something like that for is OT Evan Neal. I think he replaces Tyron for the next 10 years. The other guys in this draft are all risks. But I wouldn't be against trading up to the 13 or 14 spot for a player. All for it.

No thanks, this is not the year talent wise, to be making big jumps forward.

Not for that pick.

I would be willing to trade up into the late teens or 20-21 if a guy slips. Like if Jermaine Johnson falls, I'd be inclined to make a move. Or Kyle Hamilton.

This is not the year to go all in. They lost 5-6 starters and they didn’t replace those starters with decent players. With that many holes on the roster, they may not win the division.
