My main caveat to the whole trade up in the 2nd thing is to not give up a future first round pick to do so, like the Skins and Chargers often did under Beathard.

In most cases sure, but let’s say a Ramsey type somehow fell to the 2nd. You wouldn’t trade a first for him? 

If your scouts are on the line screaming this guy is a game changer for our team. He’s a jackpot! We see something nobody else does. That’s the game right. Pulling off first round talent in the 2nd, 3rd, whatever round. 

Wonder what round Yan would go in today... or Minshew.

I don’t envy DC. It has to be incredibly stressful.

In such an unusual example where scouts unanimously and vociferously advocate for a second rounder, it's doubtful I would pull the trigger on a future first rounder, but I would at least consider it.  If the position between my pck and the pick it would take to land the player is similar to the distance betwen the Jaguars original pick in the 3nd and the pick needed to acquire Jack (approx four spots), that pick could likely be acquired for less than a future one.

A 2 this year and a one next year to move up <15 spots in the second round?  Nahh.
