Trading up?

Seer1 · 04-30-2014, 07:36 AM

Does either our offense or defense really have a glaring hole that'd make us trade up for an NFL ready player? Would it really be worth trading up for a kid that would be riding the bench for a year or two otherwise? I'm not seeing that. We have a couple of good coaches who work with the talent they have. There are many excellent athletes in the draft this year that'll be available when our number comes up. I don't know who they'll be, but I bet there's a surprise or two in store for us come draft weekend.

You trade up for a difference maker that equates to 4+ wins in a season, not filling holes.

Oh, so you're talking about a kicker?
