Would anyone be opposed to trading UP in the draft in front of Arizona to grab Gordon?

I think that Gurley will be long gone and I think the only thing standing between us and Melvin Gordon might be Arizona at 23. Would you be opposed to trading up to get in front of Arizona to grab Gordon? Part of me thinks it might be worth it but part of me thinks the better value would be a RB in the second or maybe even third round.

Thoughts?

Wouldn't be a fan. Moving up in the first is expensive and this draft will have plenty of RBs in R2.

Yeah, I am leaning that way too. Had this not been such a deep RB draft, it might be worth it but with the talent out there, I am thinking not.

If the alternative means drafting Ajayi in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd I'm all for it.

Yes, I would be opposed !
No more giving up draft picks !!! We cannot keep giving away picks and constantly being short of our full contingent of players each draft.

Hep. I'd hate it. I'd hate the trade up for Gurley, too.

I would not mind it. After Gordon and Gurley I believe there is a big drop off in rbs.I know the Boys need defense help but that oline and rb position made this team go last season.Without a good rb this team is back to 8-8. I will be very upset if they go db in the first round. I will be sick.

Bud Dupree is maybe the only prospect I'd trade up for. Definitely wouldn't trade up for a RB.

That said, I'd prefer trading down or staying put.

I wouldn't trade up unless Gordon fall quit aways down. I would trade down a short ways.

I would not like that move at all.. Rather get TJ Yeldon at 60

I have seen mock drafts that have Yeldon going as high as the early 2nd and quite a few mock drafts that have 5-6 RBs gone by 60 and 8-9 gone by 87. We can't just assume that we can draft a RB without reaching in any round.

I would be opposed to trading up for any RB not named Todd Gurley.
I would take Tevin Coleman at 27 before trading up for Gordon.
Yeldon is not even on my draft board.

I'd rather trade down and take Tevin Coleman.

i am opposed to draftng RB in the first rd ,giving up a 3rd rd pick which i consider a round where we can still get quality starters(we have several 3rd rders on our team who are starters)is just unacceptable to me.you only trade up for QBs and passrushers.
