Is there anyone worth moving up for?

Great question. I assume you mean more than just simply 2 or 3 spots.

No, I don't think there's anyone worth moving up for. The difference between the top 5 or 6 players and the next 5 or 6 isn't worth what it would cost to move up.

Stay where we are and we get a 5 star player at one of several need positions.

Now that 31st pick, thats a totally different discussion.

And I was thinking that as well, Danno. Could we send a 3 with 31 to move and get two guys between 13 and 20? If we did package our 2 with 31, I wonder how far we could move, but I am thinking a 3 with 31 might move us up too. Thoughts?

Our 31st pick+2nd round pick would get us to around the 15th or 16th pick. Our 31st+One of the 3rd round picks we'd get up to around 20-21.

After thinking about this I want us to move up.

I realized something Atlanta did that was very underhanded. They think they have taken over after sweeping us. I also think they delibertately played with no effort against Carolina because they knew they were not going to the sb and would have a higher pick than us. They decided to end our season and throw the division.

So yes I would want us to trade up in front of Atlanta and steal Vic Beasley or Shane Ray. Let's show them manipulation since their entire organization has been all about it since we won a superbowl. Also getting one of those two along with Browner, Ellerbe, Byrd, how the hell do we not have a much improved defense?

I wonder if maybe Loomis and Payton figured that out.

Falcons have multiple needs as well. Jumping them doesn't mean they won't get a 5 star player. It just means we'd lose some picks.

WillSaints81 · 03-18-2015, 06:28 PM

But it also means we get a five star player too. And ours>theirs because Brees>Ryan and Ingram/Spiller>Smith/whoever else they have at RB.

I say no. Use them all. But I am not a GM or the head coach.

Mr.Riaton · 03-18-2015, 07:32 PM

Leonard Williams if he falls to 5

hagan714 · 03-18-2015, 07:36 PM

based on needs nope need the picks

Leonard Williams at DE would be tempting but i have the bucs taking him

K Major · 03-18-2015, 07:46 PM

I don't see the Titans letting this kid (Williams) slip past them at #2.

Freak like ability coming off the edge.
