It's either pass rusher or secondary in round 2. Whichever you do not get in round 2 you have to get in round 3. After that it's hoping and praying you can find anyone who can contribute somewhere on the team.

My beyond hope is Green, although I realize that some may not want him under any circumstances. I might also target Emmanwori or Starks.

Starks was taken in the first round. 

Emmanwori probably goes in the first ten picks of the second round. 

 

Probably looking at Sanker in the third round.

I think we trade up in the 2nd

If they traded up, the targets would be either Emmanwori or EZ I would think.

Starks went to the Ravens I think. They put a lot of work into Emmanwori before the draft so I wouldn't be shocked he he is their first choice. But they have looked into the UVA safety as well so they have options. 

[carpanfan96]

The question is, does the team think the gap between 

 

Emmanwori to Sanker and/or EZ to Oladejo is worth giving up a couple of fourths or a future 3rd.

I was thinking Mukuba in the 3rd

He's a good choice as well.

Seth Rollins announcing the Bears second round pick is going to be funny. 

I wouldn't put it past WWE to do an angle and have CM Punk and/or Roman Reigns jump him or something.

Don't want.

I know, this guy is 5th round at best but were talking Newton here.

Pass on trading future picks. No on offering future pics. Stay put or use late round pics in THIS draft only. 

Or a player (Zavala; still on a rookie contract) and a later round pick to get up to the top of the second.  Not likely but Zavala is probably as good as any G drafted in the second or later.  I can’t think of any other player that would have perceived value for a trade up that we would be willing to part with.

Wants

Big Trade up: Ez, Emmanwori

Minor Trade up: Swinson, Schwesinger

Stay Put: Princely, JT Tui, Norman-Lott, Xavier Watts, Trey Amos, Trapilo, Mbow

The “go bananas” option: Jaylin Noel

[Raleigh PF]

I'd be willing to package the 2nd round pick with something else (2nd round next year?) and see if the Bengals are willing to trade Hendrickson. Yeah, he's going to cost, but it would fill the DE role nicely.

I would do the minor trade up without hesitation.  I’m not sure I trust Morgan to execute deftly on the ‘big swing’ for Ez or Emmanwori…
