[QUOTE="Lare, post: 144970, member: 114"] We first need to be realistic, Ted Thompson will never trade up, especially in the first round. Never has, never will, no way, nada, ain't going to happen. So we're left with two possibilities, staying pat or trading down. If I had to bet, I'd say TT will stay pat and take the best player available that fits their needs. Forget BPA, it doesn't happen. I think there is a definite difference in talent from the mid-round picks to the late round picks and this player needs to produce in order for the team to improve this year. Taking guys in the first round to sit on the bench is a huge waste of money, TT learned his lesson with Rodgers. The only way I see anything different happen is if somebody really wants to move up and snag some player they fell in love with so they offer TT a deal he can't afford to pass up. In that case, I think he'd move down but it would have to be well worth his time. I'm guessing TT knows the clock is ticking on his improvement project here. By doing nothing in FA he's placed a lot of pressure on himself to get some production from this draft. As such, I don't think we'll see him trading down as much as we have in the past. Depth isn't going to get this team any more victories and do anything for TT's job security. [/QUOTE]
