Yes, we will package picks to move up. Only question is when. My bet is round 2 or 3 where we can find a fringe 1st or 2nd round playmaker at WR or LB still hanging around.

I didn't say anything about pick #31.

I'm telling you we'll likely move up to grab a guy we have a higher grade on who's fallen into rounds 2 or 3.

For example, if Eli Harold makes it to #20-25, we should absolutely move picks to grab him before someone else does.

After 7 or 8 it gets watered down quite a bit. I hope we trade up, two 1's for the Raiders 4. Get us a strong defender or WR. If we do that we still have options to move up again. Get the best we can out of the draft and put the scouts on notice to roll their sleeves up.

I just don't want another "project" in the first 2 rounds.

Just draft offensive line and linebacker as along as you can and pick the best cornerback you can grab along the way.

We have wideouts, tightends, runningbacks etc. I know we traded some receivers, but every great receiver we've ever had (Stills excluded) was a project player with raw talent - free agent or late rounds pick. Graham was one of those too.

Re: Is there anyone worth moving up for?

Danny Shelton is the only player I would move up for but I'm not giving up anything before the fifth round. We have a shot at getting a starter at every position of need before then so I'm not "wasting" a draft pick. Especially after seeing the production from the players we've moved up in the draft for with this brain trust.

There is no Andrew Luck in this draft so there is no one to trade up for, keep the picks and draft BPA with each one

That easy to say now but when trae Wayne, Shane Ray, Brandon scherff and L Collins get pick and one of the qb like Jameis Winston or Marcus Mariota start to slide down, I can see Loomis being impatient make a trade (this forum going to be impatient also). When all is said and done I hope we get Vic Beasley, all eyes will be on who Atlanta pick. I can see we probably end up with Marcus peters (that will say a lot about SJB) or Kevin white if we stay put

Re: Is there anyone worth moving up for?

what I am wondering is could we package our 2 with our 13 to move up? We have two 3's and the second 1 is like a 2??

Packaging our pick at 13 and our 2nd rounder could get us up to the 6th or 7th spot. Any higher than that and we'd have to throw in more picks.
