You can benefit trading up, down or staying put.
It still comes down to properly evaluating the talent and taking the right guys.
Hindsight is always 20/20, but if we were as high on Unger as it was reported, than we made a mistake in not trading up. Of course that's assuming a reasonable deal was availible.
Point I'm making is that we should be in a "trade up" mind frame for a few reasons IF the situation is right.
Could we use a FS, NT and speedy WR/KR type? Yes. But they are not "must haves".
We must bring in new OL blood. And we must do it this draft.
We have 5 starters over 30, one what appears to be quality reserve capable of starting and one 2nd year guy who we like with no track record at all.
And that's it. Do we have anything else to get excited about? No
Yet we have 5 starters who may all be retired in 3 seasons or less!
You always want to BPA. But if you stand pat the chances that BPA fit the need aren't always good.
So we just need to burn up the phone lines and make a good trade up deal.
Actually I don't care what we do with respect to a trade.........
This is what I do want and believe we really need........
We need to select two Offensive Lineman in the first 3 rounds and those players need to be at least close to the BPA when selected.
Don't care if we trade up, down, backwards, sideways......trade a future pick, gain a future pick......don't care.
Just get good two good OL prospects in here!
