Give me a move down with the rams to 19 then to the bucs at 26 if it nets us some combo of 52/57 and 83/89. We'd still get a premier player in the 1st and gain two more shots at starters with the extra picks.

Yeah, some fans are always against moving down, but if Baalke can find a trade partner for 17, he should do the trade down. Not knocking the Jags roster, but there are several holes. Getting the chance at more impact players is always the best thing for the long term success of the team.

moving down makes a lot of sense during a rebuild - those extra 3rd day picks fill out the bulk of your roster and give you some developmental depth.

I think where we are is no glaring vacuum at any one position, which affords us the opportunity to wheel and deal both directions - We may trade back to reap the reward of not being desperate, but I also think we're close enough to built that we will move up to spots where guys we covet fit, even if it costs some of the middle round picks to get there. If we come out of this darft with only 5-6 guys, but they are starters or soon to be starters, that's all we really need. If we pick 10 guys, there's a chance 3-4 of them don't even make final cuts.

Kinda think GB is in that same boat. This is a great darft if you need to build lines, not so much if you need to find a pass rush.

I expect a very active couple of days in April for the Jags.
