It only makes sense.  After the elite blue-chip guys (outside of Warren will all be gone), the next 10 or so guys are not dissimilar enough to ignore trade down offers.

Especially seeing they like guys like Willams, could drop to like 15 and still get him

These EDGE guys all and I do mean ALL, have holes in their games.  The drop off from Carter to the next cluster of EDGE guys is fairly steep.  If we have three EDGE guys ranked close together and move down several spots, we are nearly guaranteed to get at least one of them.

I've got mixed feelings on this one. If Carolina had a stellar front office that was known for nailing their draft picks in most years, then I'd be down with a move down the draft board to acquire an extra pick. Unfortunately, our draft history this decade leaves a lot to be desired....especially in round 2.

If we picked the best player at any position (outside of QB, HB, OL,) it would immediately improve our team. And, dropping down doesn't guarantee we'd pick the right guy in the 1st round or with the extra draft choice acquired in the trade.

I can see maybe going from 8 to 12, but no further than 15. Even going to 15 would bother me b/c that means Carolina would miss out on 7 blue chip players before they're on the clock.

If the Raiders somehow pass on Jeanty, the Cowboys will be all too happy to come up to #8.  We get their second rounder this year.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
