What players would have to still be on the board for you to not want a trade down

Sorry if this was already discussed, didn’t see anything. 
 

So which players still available at 7(assuming we don’t trade up) would make a trade down out of the question. For me it’s only four guys;

1) Chase Young

2) Isaiah Simmons

3) Jeffery Okudah 

4) Joe Burrow

Of the potentials, IMO Brown, Wills, Wirfs, Okudah, and Simmons are all worthy of the #7 overall pick. There's no chance they'll all be gone. Now with that said, you have 10 minutes on the clock. If you're getting calls there's no reason not to listen. You never know when Marty Hurney might call you with a reckless offer. Oh wait...

I'm torn. If Hurney wasn't here I would say trade down and get more players in this draft. With him still here, I remain skeptical. Added to the fact that we have so little valuable NFL experience involved this offseason, I just hope they keep it simple and take good football players that can contribute and get playing time this year in the first 3 rounds. If we trade up then we will be set back another year, just like last year.

I don't really care about the talent drop off trading back from the 7th pick this year. We have a lot of needs and will be picking in the top 10 next year at the least, very possibly the year after also. There just is not anybody involved with the process that I know makes great NFL decisions and nothing so far this offseason has changed that yet.

Hard to say without knowing specifics of the offer

Burrow, Tua (if confident about medical), Young, Okuda, and Simmons I have a bit ahead of everyone else.

What if the question was more specific,  

If Raiders offered picks 12 and 19 for our 7 and 38, what players would have to be on the board for you not to take it?

In that situation, maybe Burrow, Tua, Young and Okuda and I might change my mind on Okuda depending on how much I like the next few CBs on my board.

We are not trading down. 
 

geez, we haven’t had a real LT since Jordan Gross and now we have a chance to get one,..

DT, CB, and a LB/Safety,..

If they ALL were still there,.. like if the first 6 picks were all QB ha,... then you could afford to trade back and take whichever is left.

thats ridiculous.

I'm not that big a fan of trading down in this draft.

There are plenty of good players expected to be available at number seven.

Is that you Hurney? :)

Actually a lot of GMs fall into that thinking, but history probably tells us otherwise.  

Is you chance of helping your team with pick 7, really that much better than 12 and 60?

Picking the best player and adding the most talent to your team is two different things.

    • Per Bill Barnwell  Broncos part ways with a CB on the roster bubble Broncos get: 2026 seventh-round pick Panthers get: CB Damarri Mathis The Broncos have a rare problem among NFL teams: too many cornerbacks. ESPN's Jeff Legwold projects they could move on from Mathis, who was very good as a rookie in 2022 before losing his starting job after the defense's slow start in 2023. He played just 27 defensive snaps after Week 6 that season and 80 more across 10 games in 2024. With the Broncos using their 2025 first-round pick on cornerback Jahdae Barron, they could justify moving on from Mathis, who might not be active on game days even if he sticks around. Mathis' best season came with defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero in Denver, and he hasn't been able to reach those same heights since Evero left for Carolina. The Panthers are set with Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson and nickel corner Chau Smith-Wade as their three starting corners, but Mathis could push the 28-year-old Jackson and serve as Carolina's primary reserve on the outside. Mathis is owed $3.4 million in 2025, so Denver might essentially buy a draft pick by eating some of that cash, similar to what the Commanders did when they sent running back Brian Robinson Jr. to the 49ers.
    • They can get fuged for a 6th and 7th. Doesn't make sense for us for anything less than a 4th and them paying a majority of his salary.
