Quote:The more I think about this, the less inclined I am to trade back into the 1st round.  This is especially true if we're offering up our 2015 first rounder in exchange. 

 

Personally, the 2015 draft has the potential to be the one where trading up might make sense depending on how things go this year.  I'd hate to tie our hands next year when the possibility of landing a genuine franchise QB exists.

 

 

The way I see it:

 

1)  If we stay at 3 and do not take a QB, it will increase the chances/need of trading up later if the QBs fall to the late first round.

 

2)  If we stay at 3 and take a QB, there will be significantly lower need/chance of trading back up into the bottom of the first round.

 

3)  If we trade back from 3 and do not take a QB first, the need to trade back up will be there, but because we'll have even more picks, the likelihood of trading up will increase.

 

4)  If we trade back from 3 and take a QB first, the need and likelihood of trading up are significantly diminished.

 

5)  If we somehow trade up from 3 and don't take a QB, the need to trade up later will be there, but unless we somehow get a huge bargain in the deal up, the likelihood will decrease due to lack of picks.
