2 sacks today thus far against Northwestern. 7.5 on the year from the interior as a D tackle. Wouldn’t be mad at all if he ended up our 3 tech.

    I really don’t think we should trade down. Especially if we get two top 5 Picks. In the NFL you need elite players and drafting as high as possible is your best chance. I get there’s a lot of holes but if you keep trading out of the top pick you keep passing on blue chip prospects.

      Counterpoint: Trading back allows you the chance to possibly get MORE blue chip players if you acquire more 1st round picks. The trade with Carolina netted us arguably 3 blue chippers (Moore, Wright, and this year’s 1st) while all indications are they completely whiffed with the 1st overall pick.

      I’m in the camp that we draft MHJ no matter what, but if we can trade our other 1st for a decent haul I would absolutely do that and take either Newton or the best EDGE on the board.

        I wouldn’t bury Bryce young yet, but they certainly missed on the better qb. I agree with you on the proliferation of picks, teams are valuating higher picks for top qb’s differently and are willing to trade a lot of capital. It’s rarer for teams to trade multiple #1s to move up to draft edge or we, or any other position for the matter. Poles move was masterclass. I don’t know such a package exists that fits out needs this year, unless LV wants to move to #1 and are willing to deal maxx Crosby and a first + 2nd or two.
