What's worth trading up for at 8/9?

[section543]

I think there is a decent chance someone is willing to move up for Richardson, one of the OT's, or someone who amazes at the combine (QB, WR, DE). I doubt it will be an awesome deal, but an additional 2nd or 3rd for a small drop could be well worth it. I agree with those who said there about 6 grade A prospects and then 10-30 B+ guys. Trading back would allow us to get 2 sceond tier guys, when we can only get one, if we stay put.

It's impossible to know how other teams value the prospects. We don't even know how our own team views them.

I don't think Richardson goes top ten.

I've read Miami is switching to a 4-3. Which means they probably need to draft guys for that more than anything (most notably, a true 4-3 DE). I think Miami takes Coples if he's there, if not THEY may try to trade back to get better value out of Ingram or Mercilus or someone like that.

Miami is really not saying at the moment

If four things happen, I could see Carolina's pick as desirable:

1) Carolina wins the coin flip

2) Tannehill is high on Seattle's board

3) Miami doesn't pursue and/or land Manning or Flynn

4) Seattle doesn't prusue and/or land Manning or Flynn

If all three of those conditions are met, I could definitely see Seattle trying to move above Miami's pick with fear that Tannehill is going to be Miami's selection. That's a huge stretch for all those conditions to be met. There's going to be some great talent available to us at our key positions of need. I don't think we'd want to slide too far and lose the chance to take one of the top OTs or DTs, so Seattle is an ideal partner. All that being said, I think it's highly unlikely.
