Is there anyone worth moving up for?

We don't need NINE draft picks either....

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.

We have 5 in the first three rounds; WR, TE, ILB, OLB, CB, G... There's your 6 needs... Makes no sense to waste our second first round pick to move up with that many needs

You don't draft for need. Try to get the best players you can and if you have an abundance of resources as we do this year I don't see an issue with a move up.

I disagree with as many holes as we have created for ourselves; you prioritize...

no way do you package 2 first round picks to move up for say Amari Cooper when you can get a starting guard and a starting LB instead...

I hear ya... I just worry that when a team puts themselves in a position where they have lots of holes that they have to fill in the draft it gets dangerous. The draft is such a crapshoot. There's definitely a fine line. I'd love to stay put with both of our 1st round picks but Loomis and Payton don't make me feel confident.

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.

I just contradicted the hell outta myself there...
