I am looking at the vikings as the most likely team to trade up and we get a second out of them.

15 through 17 would require a pick from us to make a 2nd possible

At 18 (Houston) it is the break even point were we get a two straight up.

From there on out add picks.

To get an additional first I am guessing at 26 ( Jacksonville) it is hard to tell because there is a penalty charge for dropping that far and it is hard to estimate the amount a team is willing to pay to get up that far in the draft. Usually a player is involved. Teams hate giving up picks a boat load of picks, except Ditka.

As for choicing another RB at 10 I am not totally against the idea but remeber that would signal the end of Duce in B&G probably. It would make sense but at 10? I am not sold on him that high.
