Trade down or stay put?

[Martin]

It is obviously very early and it depends who is there. But I was curious to where everyone is at? At this time I’m more leaning towards staying put and get a stud LT instead of trading back and take a good one.

1. Potential franchise QB

2. Potential franchise LT

3. TRADE DOWN

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

1. OT

2. Linderbaum

3. Trade down

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.

This is the correct answer IMO.

Whatever gets the most legit young talent.

 

I think its 50/50 finesser trades the pick, maybe even 60(trade)/40(stay)

If Tunseil type of deal happens again, stay there and take the 15 year LT. Thats about the only way I see Finesser stays.

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.

Unless you are 99.999% sure you a sitting on a franchise QB we almost have to trade down. We have so few picks in the top 100 and so many needs still 

[CmC2k]

We need to have all the QB stocks rise so we can get a massive haul for a trade down. Teams always pay a premium for trading up for a QB. 

[PappyMay]

Trade down but not past mid teens. Linderbaum, Ikem, Green, Cross. take whoever is left. All would make this team better.

[KDawg004]

Stay put. Don’t want to miss on blue chip OL. I’m all in on Ikem & Cross. Neal screams RT to me. Only way I move down if for an extra 1st next year. And even then I don’t want to move down past 10-12.

[Panfan35]

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.
