Trade down or stay put?

I'd still field calls if #1 isn't an option.

I agree about the QB comment. I’m sure at least 1-2 QBs will “emerge” as franchise QBs. I wouldn’t be surprised if a healthy Strong is one of them.

With the dearth of QB talent a trade down might be wishful thinking but we absolutely will look to do so.  However if Neal or another top OT is there we might have to make that pick.  We gotta have a serious upgrade of talent on the OL.  

Outside of some crazy development at QB we will probably be in a pickle there regardless

If Devin Lloyd rises then stay put and take him. Whoever gets him will have immediate playmaking and shutdown ability with championship leadership to control the middle of the defense.

If he looks to be available in the late 1st round, then trade down. Possible shot at getting the defensive leader in Devin Lloyd and the OL leader in Linderbaum by trading down.

It’s a almost guaranteed we trade down a 1-2 times in the first hopefully walk away with linderbaum at OC weakest part of our o-line is the middle. Brady seems to be serviceable at LT we could accumulate a couple 2nds and 3rd round picks by trading down and could use a 2nd on a qb

Only Kenny Pickett is a franchise QB in this draft. I think Corall is an NFL bust. Willis is not that good, and Strong, depending on his knee, is a solid option. The rest are projects. We can stay put and get one of the 3 LTs or the Iowa C. If we move back to the mid teens, we won't get any of them. If they are there, get Pickett or the remaining LT. We traded off too many picks and playing games to get more will get us lesser players. Bite the bullet and no more trades.

    • I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins. 
    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.
