How did you get 2 1sts without giving up anything? Looks like the only way was to give up the two future 1sts you can trade on that site. If thats the case, it's completely unreal.

trade details please

I traded out of the back into the first using 2018s first rounder. My reasoning was. I feel that with the RB situation resolved. The destructive force of the DT we drafted in 2 years we may be picking at 32 anyways. To be perfectly honest. I have no idea what the other ones were at this point

We thought we would be picking 32 this year too. Never assume that

I don't believe they'll take a RB in the first or second round.

I said we would have been picking at 32 if a certain RB joined the team and that's why he was worth the first. I still stand by that statement too.

To aquire an extra first round pick your also going to be giving up a day 2 pick as well and probably more. Your at least losing your third rounder. Add to that a few injuries and we could just as easily be picking top 5 in 2016 its not worth it. And with a 2018 #1 you are probably using a 2017 day 2 pick in addition

Plus you NEVER assume a rookie is going guarantee you a significant instant improvement. Rookies are long term investments. An instant impact is a bonus

Round 1 Pick 11 (STL): Jalen Ramsey, CB/FS, Florida State (A)
Round 2 Pick 7: Darian Thompson, FS, Boise State (A-)
Round 2 Pick 11 (STL): Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State (A+)
Round 3 Pick 13 (T.B.): Braxton Miller, WR, Ohio State (A)
Round 3 Pick 21 (WASH): Joe Haeg, OT, North Dakota State (B+)
Round 4 Pick 6 (S.F.): Kyler Fackrell, OLB/DE, Utah State (B+)
Round 4 Pick 10 (N.O.): Kenneth Dixon, RB, Louisiana Tech (B+)
Round 4 Pick 21 (WASH): Sheldon Day, DT, Notre Dame (A+)
Round 5 Pick 10 (N.O.): Kevin Byard, SS, Middle Tennessee (B+)
Round 6 Pick 5 (DET): Nelson Spruce, WR, Colorado (B-)
Round 6 Pick 18 (PHI): Kevin Hogan, QB, Stanford (A-)
Round 7 Pick 5 (DET): Cyrus Jones, CB, Alabama (A+)
Round 7 Pick 11 (DEN): Jason Fanaika, DE, Utah (B+)
Round 7 Pick 30 (PHI): Javon Hargrave, DT, South Carolina State (A-)

I was trying to draft OG Jon Dahl in the 7th, but he never showed up on the list. He would make a great UDFA and a great reserve G. I would prefer Chris Jones to Sheldon Day, but he wasn't available. I am not sure about Ramsey, but Hargraves has at least 10 ints. during his college career. For strictly CB, I would prefer Hargraves, however, Ramsey has great versatility. Thompson and Byard have combined for at least 36 ints., 18 apiece. Jones could be a late round steal. Still, the idea of Bryon Jones and Ramsey at starting CB, with Thompson and Byard at starting S, just warms the cockles of my heart. Add Elliott and Dixon to DMac, and our once weak RB group now looks quite beastly. Haeg takes over for Free. Miller, gives us an elite and versatile athlete. He can play WR, RB, QB, PR, and KR. With Kupp supposedly going back for his senior year, Spruce was my late round WR pick. I think he can be what we hoped Street could be. Fackrell is all over the place making plays. I love me some Hargrave. IMO, he will be a late round steal on par with Ratliff, maybe even better, since he isn't the headcase Ratliff is. I am not the biggest Hogan fan, however, having him sit for a couple of years to learn from Romo will do wonders. Also, being from Stanford and running a pro style offense, he is definitely not a stupid player. I would be ok with him coming in to replace Romo if an injury occurred.

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 14 (ATL): A'Shawn Robinson, DT/DE, Alabama (A)
Round 2 Pick 7: Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State (A+)
Round 2 Pick 9 (MIA): Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor (A+)
Round 2 Pick 14 (ATL): Jayron Kearse, SS, Clemson (B+)
Round 3 Pick 7: Shawn Oakman, DE, Baylor (A)
Round 4 Pick 7: Eric Striker, OLB, Oklahoma (B+)
Round 6 Pick 16: Jonathan Jones, CB, Auburn (A)

I really wanted to go corner sooner and get a QB, but I let the draft come to me and it came to me as a one draft defensive rebuild. This doesn't address every team need, but I actually kind of like it. I had my eye on a couple guys who went right before I picked in trade backs. Just missed out on Wentz in particular.

What I do like is I was able to get proven production while also getting players with elite athleticism and experience.
