Quote:(Numbering and emphasis added)

 

1.  Question:  is every failure to trade down representative of an opportunity missed?  Are there instances where a trade down is not warranted, or where the failure t trade down does not represent an opportunity missed?

 

2.  Caldwell has been an outstanding judge of talent.  However, have you considered the possibility that in building a team, Caldwell believes in using first round picks on the marquee positions of QB, LT, DE, and CB?

 

3.  Is part of being a shrewd trader knowing when to make and when not to make a trade up or down?  When he did not trade down in 2014, ensuring the Jaguars would get the chance to draft Bortles, was that evidence of a shrewd trader or a missed opportunity?  What about this year's refusal to trade down when offered picks by teams looking to draft Jalen Ramsey?  Caldwell was also tempted to move back up into the first round this year in order to guarantee Myles Jack, but he did not want to trade away the team's 4th round pick to do it.  Instead, he waited until Jack fell to the 2nd and traded a 5th round pick to move up two spots to get the same guy talked about at 5.  Was that shrewd or not?
