Quote:So, let's assume the picks go like this:


1) Winston

2) Mariota


Let's assume we would be equally happy with 3 different guys at that point.


Oakland offers us a 5th round pick to move up one spot. Do you turn it down? That wouldn't make any sense at all.

If the top of our board has say a 1a and a 1b player, both equally coveted but neither really has an edge (as far as we are looking at them) then yeah, you're effectively getting an extra pick to still get your guy. If say Williams is a clear cut #1 and any of the pass rushers or whoever is considered by us a significant step down then no, even if you're 95% sure that's not who they're trading to take, you can't risk it.
