Trading up?
 
What do you think the odds of us trading up in the draft would be? Sammy Watkins has been hinting a lot that a team outside the top 10 has been "making offers". I know this is probably a long shot in us getting the best WR in the draft but this would be a huge chance to get a blockbuster like WR. Hey......a guy could only dream right?

I can see us trading up, but not that far.

We're loaded with talent, so a deep draft doesn't benefit us as much as it does a team with numerous glaring holes.

If we target 2 or 3 real difference makers, I'd be OK with trading up all draft long.

At this stage, quality is more important than quantity.

A quality WR like Watkins would be worth the gamble, jmo

Who in their right mind would pass on Watkins to let us jump in their spot to get him? There isn't enough draft picks available to give for easily the most dangerous offensive weapon in the draft.

To me the best is we Trade down and out of the first round.I just think we need to Start planning for the future at some point and with this being as deep of a draft as it suppose to be we could afford to do it this yrs.I don't see this current team as needing that much

Sure but I think what Danno's trying to say is at what price? We'd mortgage our future to move from 27 into the top 10 (or lower) to get Watkins.

I could see us staying at 27 and 58 but trading up to get back into Round 2 or higher 3rd round pick. Grab some UDFAs and call it a summer.

I guess this is also coming from a local and huge Clemson fan. Just want to continue cheering on the best WR the school has ever had. Just think it would be perfect to see him in black and gold.

dam that is a jump. maybe to 15 or lower if a player like cj is on the board but into the top ten thats a lot of future to mortgage.
