[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 895232, member: 6578"] The deeper I dig into this draft class, and the more that player profiles and my big board is clearing up a little more...the more I keep going back to the mindset of trading back, and even trying to do so multiple times. I believe this for a few reasons, but very briefly: [LIST] [*]This team's roster has needs for sure, but not a single MASSIVE hole or gap exists (I'd argue into 2021 starting #2CB and #2iDL to be the "biggest" needs) [*]Most years typically after Pick 15-20 your honest to God surefire guys are gone... [*]Roster building with 10 or more picks is better than with 7...maybe... [*]The depth in this draft is alive and real IMO from about pick 50-150 and I foresee a lot of solid (maybe not all pro candidates) but easily solid #2 guys at their spots with potential to become #1s. [/LIST] That said here is my latest draft, as always I'm assuming Jones is gone, Linsley is gone and Preston was cut and Lowry for certain. I ignore illogical trades and players that have no business being possibly available if presented. In this draft I do 3 trades. First two are trade backs, and the third one moves us up a few spots for a pick. Trades are broke down at end of draft. Draft came together as: [B]Pick #51 (2nd) - Paulson Adebo CB - Stanford - 6'1' 190lbs[/B] Adebo is a guy that I've circled, not because I think he is one of the top 5 CBs, but because he is easily in the Top 15 and I feel is a fit and will be available I think after 1st round top flight guys (I predict 5 or 6 gone in 1st). He primarily aligns outside and has 2 years of starting under his belt. His biggest issue is lower body strength, but I think that can come. King is leaving, we need to find that #2CB for Jaire...so much so you will see I dip back into this position again and not terribly later either. [B]Pick #63 (2nd) - Walker Little OT - Stanford - 6'7' 309lbs[/B] Walker is a stud, plain and simple. Some predicted he would be a top 5 OT, and while the chops are there I think he will wash out to be around the 7th - 12th OT taken due to his opting out and no 2020 tape. He has the frame and skills to play Left Tackle but I foresee him as an instant possible replacement to a Wagner cut if needed.

[B]Pick #159 (5th) - Jaret Patterson RB - Buffalo - 5'9' 195lbs[/B] Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce you to one of my favorite picks of this draft. This young man PRODUCED at Buffalo.

[B]Pick #251 (7th) - Isaac Slade-Matautia LB - Oregon - 6'0' 225lbs[/B] Hyrbid ILB out of Oregon that shows no fear in contact but run defense is not his knack, coverage type linebacker for sure that can cover most any TE or RB you throw at him...should be a ST contributor as well. Trade #1 - Pick 31 FOR Pick #42 & #99 (Newsome) Trade #2 - Picks #42 & #214 FOR #51 (Adebo) & #159 (Patterson) Trade #3 - Picks #94 & #208 FOR #81 (McNeill) [/QUOTE]
