Just to get you on record again here, if in the event that we can't trade down in the draft , you would rather pass on our pick until the mid teens, risk Lamp being selected by a team before us, all to save 2.5 million in cap??

 

 

I don't think I would risk losing him. I truly believe I could get him at #12, but let me make this perfectly clear. I would trade down. I don't want the #4 pick. I believe making a deal which gets you something is better than staying at #4 and getting nothing. So, if I get something in return for the #4 pick that is less than what the "trade value chart" says, that's o.k. by me, as long as I get the player I want and an additional pick or two. I don't live and die by the "trade value chart."
