What if you would of traded down to say 20 and Ramczyk goes a couple picks before who do you then take?  You might want to re look at your scouting department if they have that many players with the same grade.  If we give up a top 3 pick for Tunsil who will be 28 next season, the contract, injury history, and also who's play has declined a bit Urb should be fired on the spot especially when we have Little waiting in the wings.  I'd rather tag Cam one more year than give up a top 3 pick

Looking back on my 2017 draft list, if Ramczyk wasn't there, I would have chosen CB Tre'Davious White. He was the next guy up on my list that was left on the board at that time.

Not necessarily. It depends. Some drafts are better than others. Last year was a draft with much more elite players at the top end. They stood head and shoulders above the rest. This year, there just isn't those type of players, IMO. There's just one guy. Some draft classes are just better than others and you grade accordingly. It varies from year to year. Most scouts realize this.

Tunsil is still one of the best, young Tackles in the NFL. Yes, he has been beat around lately, but look at the team he is on. He's the one good piece in that offense. He's getting no help, so no wonder he gets injured. Given that Robinson is an UFA, Taylor just flat out sucks and I have no faith in Little, I'd definitely trade for Tunsil. Little has shown me nothing that proves he can be a franchise LT. I hope he does turn into one, but if he can't even supplant Taylor at RT (when Taylor has such a low bar), why should I believe he could be trusted holding down the LT spot? I'd rather flip the pick for a proven commodity. Ideally, we wouldn't have to though. In an ideal world, we would sign Terron Armstead in free agency, but given our current status, I find it almost impossible to believe that any premier UFA would wanna come here. As for Cam Robinson, there is absolutely no scenario where I would re-sign him, ever.

Yes some drafts are better than others but you still might want to re look at your scouting department if you have that many player graded the same to just take any offer on the table.  Thibs is the best but there are a few more elite players at the top of this draft, id be ok with a trade back but it better be for nice compensation, I'm not just trading back just to trade back for anything.  No chance do we give up a top 3 pick for Tunsil
