One in the 4th (#105/84 points)

One in the 5th (#157/27 points)

four (4) in the 6th :

(#179/18.2 points)
(#187/15)
(#197/11.4)
(#198/11)

and two in the 7th.

(#220/1.7)
(#233/1)



Per the Drafttek trade value chart the aggregate value of our picks is about 169 points, roughly a mid 3rd round pick, and our 4 6th round picks have a total value of 55 points, which is worth roughly a 4th round pick.

Given the odds of a player making a final roster, much less being a productive player, decrease dramatically as the draft progresses, given the depth of this draft at some positions, and the state of our roster, would you be willing to package those 6th round picks to get another 3rd or 4th round pick?

How many would you be willing to package?

How many Day 3 picks would be too many to trade away?  Is having more bites at the apple preferable to having a better bite at the apple?

Is there a certain player or position you would want to trade up for?

Would your answer change if the team traded back in earlier rounds?

As a rule, I don't like trading up. I'm more of a "trade back" type of guy. With that said, there are a few ILB's that I probably would trade up for. I don't like either of our current starting ILB's. Wilson just isn't very good and Jack doesn't fit the scheme and it's very obvious. This is not a deep draft for 3-4 ILB's. If we were to trade up for a guy like Chad Muma, Damone Clark, Christian Harris or Troy Andersen, I wouldn't be opposed at all. I believe we gotta get one of these guys, since premier guys like Devin Lloyd and Nakobe Dean will be gone in round 1. After pass rushing DE/OLB, I believe this is by far, our most pressing defensive need. I

As far as what I'd be willing to give up, it depends on how the board plays out to that point. If some really good WR's and TE's are falling further than projected and we already drafted a good WR early on, I might be willing to part with a couple of day 3 picks. If not, it may be one day 3 pick and a current player. I'm really hoping we deal Myles Jack either before the draft or during. I like him as a person and believe he really needs to go to a 4-3 team to get him back on track and we need two starting ILB's who can actually cover opposing TE's.
