You might want to give me a chance to work with Blake's passing gurus in Cali first.

Trading up later is much more palatable. It cost us day 3 picks to get those guys. Trading from 29 to ahead of 23 would be much more punitive. There is no one so much better than the rest of the group to do that with, unless they are smitten with a QB.

I really don't have any thoughts on trading up other than way up. I would rather trade back to accumulate additional second and thirds.

I agree with the second part.

If we are targeting a QB, we need to get to Green Bay's spot at minimum to have a chance at one of the top guys.

If the team is targeting a particular position/player, trading up might be necessary.

We got Linder too in a trade up

I thought we got Linder in a trade up, but wasn't sure, and at the time of the post I was too lazy to look it up.

Good catch.

Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!

Maybe.

It might cost a 3rd or 4th round pick plus depending on how far up you are talking.

Suppose we decided to trade with Cincinnati at 21.

According to a trade value chart, the 21 is worth 800 points. The 29 (or 28b per Pirkster) is worth 640, a difference of 160 points.

That's the equivalent of our 3rd round pick (128 points) and 4th round pick (128)

Now for this particular draft, it may be cost prohibitive, in part because we'd have no picks from rounds 3, 4 and 5.

But the team doesn't think there will likely be any starting caliber players beyond round 3 anyway.

They could always throw in a future pick (future 3rd) to lessen the impact on this draft.
If there is a guy they really want, that may or may not be too expensive to move up.
