Goddamnit guys I told you Jonah Williams won't be there at #16, Andre Dillard won't be there at #16, and certainly, Jawann Taylor will not be there at #16! Every draftable O-lineman will be taken before we come up at #16

 

why wont they?

[Verge]

Can you imagine if we gave away both our 3's for a LT and then we draft a backup QB in the 2nd? Yuuuuck.

Not sure how realistic this is. Houston knows we would like a LT, they need a LT, if anything Texans would trade up AHEAD of us for Dillard.

Trading with us also means they pick before us, so still logical

Right plus us could be talking up tackles so Houston( or whomever) thinks we’ll take one if they don’t make a good enough offer. So much misinformation being thrown around so who knows wtf is going to happen Thursday. That extra 2nd would be nice, I’d take that over any of those tackles. I don’t see much difference in any of them and that next group of ford, mcgary, risner , Wisconsin OT. Tell you what though if we could still get Sweat(if the slide talk is legit) or Ferrell at 23 and a FS and a tackle/guard all before we even get to our 2 3rd rders that’d be sweet... or  hold off for mr Bobby Evans and get you a highly graded dB or DT to boot

Exactly, thank you. Trust no rumors this time of year.

I mean.  Isn't trading with us accomplishing that?

From NFL.com

1) The Texans trade up for an O-lineman

Houston Texans receive:
-- 2019 first-round pick (No. 16 overall)

Carolina Panthers receive:
-- 2019 first-round pick (No. 23)
-- 2019 second-round pick (No. 55)

Why it works for the Texans: The model suggests the Texans optimize for wins if they prioritize an improvement on the offensive line in Round 1. Fortunately, they have two second-rounders (Nos. 54 and 55), so they can afford to use one to move up. The likelihood of my model's two highest-rated offensive linemen (Jawaan Taylor, Jonah Williams) being available is above average, until the Vikings(No. 18) and Seahawks (No. 21) are on the clock. The Jaguars (No. 7) and Broncos (No. 10) pose the greatest risks before No. 16.

Why it works for the Panthers: For the cost of just seven selections in the first round, they pick up an additional second-rounder. The Panthers have a strong core of starters, so modeling scenarios where they trade up doesn't yield as much value as focusing more attention on the end of the first and second rounds where they could add quality players who wouldn't necessarily be asked to be Day 1 starters. My model projects Carolina would be able to add value in pass defense (corner and pass rush, specifically) and select a Day 1-starting wide receiver with pick Nos. 23, 47 and 55.

 

This I can handle.

I feel like this is a non story.

 

Newsflash: Every team is open to trading up for almost every position. The only question is what will be the cost.

[TylerDurden]

Trade up for Nick Bosa.

I’m so glad we won that last regular season game! Moral victory ftw

Jeez are people still going on about this? 

[Palmetto]

the past week we have heard that the draft is so deep teams feel like they can get talented players by staying put and are reluctant to move up

and we have multiple reports of teams trying to move up.....

How about if we trade up for a tackle and then still take Grier in the 2nd and have no more picks before the 6th round...

I'm laughing my ass off just thinking of how the huddle would implode

Ha yeah...In the last 24 hours or so we’ve went from there’s no way Sweat will make it to us, to then he likely will, to now he may fall out of the 1st, we might trade up for a tackle because there’s only 3 we’d see as first rd tackles(Hurney said there’s 4-5), we’re open to taking the Clemson DTs at 16, and now a trade back scenario. I think the Panthers love it being all over the place. Why would they want to show their hand? Them going kinda quiet the last couple  days about edge rushers and lots of tackle rumors could be because they don’t want teams jumping them for one , could be legit, could be trade bait. 

I like us being right in front of the giants...especially if they pass on a QB at 6  cause there’s a good chance some QB hungry will want to jump them
