Three Trades

I want a RT as well

Only C I’d really want.

I've seen him ranked as low as 9th among OT's, and go as low as the round. I've never seen him in the first. IMO he would be a real reach. Usually guys like Jackson from USC are going ahead of him.

I'd prefer grabbing one of the stud OTs with our first pick, and then getting a top defender at #26. Love the C pick in Rd 2

Should have read "as low as the 3rd round".

and your first four picks. I'd probably choose Austin Jackson over Josh Jones but it's close.

Ruiz and Cushenberry are the cream of the crop at OC if you want to play a power game.

One of the best scenarios I've seen so far this offseason.

And one trade up in the first 2 days? God luck!

Miami gives up #26 and gets #37 and #110? Why would Miami?

they are..... Miami??

To drop to 6.

If we trade and receive:
NY trades: #4 and #150
LAC trades: #6, #37, and #112 AND a 6th round pick too

And take OT at #6 and OC at #37 as value picks I'd be ecstatic so long as those two OL's play and perform as rookies and don't struggle like Erek Flowers did.

We have to hit on our first three round of picks and not "reach" for need. I always fear reaching and prefer BPA picks based on value boards.

Agreed , Gettleman is a very good scout but less so as a GM. He will trade up for a player he's sure of but won't use the draft as a process to gain draft picks to solve for depth. Barkley was a BPA/Value/Need type pick but he felt he was the best player in the draft so it was easy for him. He could have traded down a spot or 2 yet that's his strategy, don't risk the player you're "sure" about.

the idea of trading up, but then you are using two of those selections on players who will be there if you didn't trade.

You really shouldn't call for trades outside of the top of the first until you see how the draft is panning out. Those trades are made to target a specific player - you can't plan this out ahead of time.

Trading back into the 1st round is such a strong economic strategy. I was really happy about the trade for Baker last year.

I'd be thrilled to see that again to grab a center of guard.
