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.
