Let's assume Tennessee goes Tunsil 1st, and Cleveland decides to go QB. We could attempt to swap 1sts and give up a 2nd with Cleveland to get Bosa. San Diego most likely go QB and depending on what Dallas does they may or may not draft a QB either. Cleveland could pick up a 2nd and still get their QB while we greatly enhance our pass rush.

 

Parting with a 2nd could be hard but just imagine a D-Line rotation of Fowler, Vernon, Bosa, Odrik, Marks, Miller, Alualu, Davis, Bennett, and Jones. We could also roll out this lineup on passing downs:

 

LEO - Vernon

DT - Odrik

DT - Marks

DE - Bosa

WLB - Telvin

MLB - Poz

OTTO - Fowler

 

Man, oh, man. Sure we could hope Bosa falls but as it stands right now, it seems highly unlikely that Bosa would fall past 3. With the rest of our picks, we could pick up another CB, OLine depth, another TE, etc.

 

A lot can change between now and the draft, but what say you right now?

 

 

I think that 2nd is more valuable to us than whoever we'd trade up for.  For a 3rd I'd consider it.  I don't think we have the luxury of being able to give up a 2nd with the lack of quality depth on this team.  Even giving up the 3rd hurts.  We're probably going to get a significant upgrade on our defensive line or in the secondary if we just sit at 5 and both areas need improvement.
