Quote:I think it'd be difficult for someone to want to trade up for a DB/S.  We'd have to be offering them a heck of a deal to do so.  Otherwise, our best hope is probably Buffalo or Arizona wanting to jump NYJ for a QB.

If it's possible, I'd definitely be open to trade back and take a Lamp/Robinson as a guard or OJ Howard.  I think we pretty much have to stick at 4 though and probably take Fournette.

Well, consider the personnel requirements of Bradley's defense.

 

It needs long physical CBs.  It also needs a S with unlimited range.  There is only one FS in this draft that comes close to approximating what Earl Thomas did, and that's Hooker.  Bradley and Caldwell indicated an Earl Thomas type of S is hard to find...in many instances harder to find than the CB.

 

If it is that hard to find, and if it is that important to the scheme, then they need to ensure they get it.  Under these circumstances, the only way to do so would be to trade up.

 

Also, I don't think it would take a truckload of picks to move from 7 to 4.
