One of about 4 guys that will be available at 30. 

So are you asserting that DG has had conversations with you about who is truly on his draft board?  No disrespect...but I call BS on that.  

I know you have access to players and may hear rumors.  But, there is no way a successfully run org is tipping their hand to a sideline photographer.  Especially one who has runs a message board on the Internet.

With Joseph and Neal, I'm curious why the SS prospects capable of good in-the-box play aren't looked at a little closer at 30 outside of Cravens.

I'd love Cash, Killebrew, or Thompson in the 2nd but I'm just surprised by the lack of hype around Neal and Joseph.

Well, I guess that depends on who views him as a first round talent. Baltimore, New England and Pittsburgh are in love with him according to the rumors. He may not make it to 30. We'll see though.

I don't think Cravens gets passed Pittsburgh or possibly New England if they trade into the first round. I think we target maybe somone like Thompson or Killebrew in the second.

I'm not an expert in trade values.  Can anyone here give some suggestions as to what it would take to move up to pick 40 - 45 in round 2?  Any suggestions on possible trade partners?

Last year it took our 2 and 3 to move up and take Funchess around 40ish

And a 6th to move 16 spots from 57 to 41.

I'd really prefer if we didn't trade up again this year. Low volume drafting is generally a very bad long term strategy.

Here's a version of the trade value chart.  http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/draft/draft-trade-chart/

Jon Robinson, Titans GM, stated there are many versions of this, and, quite frankly, it doesn't mean a hill of beans if both teams feel the deal helps their team.  That said, we're got getting back into the 40s without giving up at least our 3rd and the high 40s without giving up our 3rd AND 4th IMO.  Way too rich IMO.  I know we're loaded and space is tight, but it's very hard to imagine only getting one player in rounds 2-4.

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
