Agreed here as well. If a blue chip players falls that is a need then trade up from 20 to grab him.

My hope is Miami (#26) or Philly (#21) jumps and trades for Yan. Then use that pick to get a team that wants to trade up to gain more picks this year or next. If not make the pick. BPA.

Lingering on the thought of trading up from 20, I think if the Yannick Ngakoue trade happens before the draft and nets the team a first round pick, I think the chances of us moving up from 20 increase because we'd still have that additional buffer at the bottom of the first round to still either get another player or trade back.

I recall a Caldwell interview earlier this year (perhaps at the combine) where he seemed to emphasize the goal this draft was to get immediate impact.  Shortly thereafter, he traded away Bouye, Campbell and Foles.  I just have this lingering suspicion he has at least a couple of guys in the 9-15 range he is targeting.  We know Caldwell has traditionally traded up in the second round because it is typically cheaper than it is trading up in the first.  But most years, we pick in the top ten and only have one pick in the first, with a standard allotment of one pick in each round.  But trading up from 20 into the middle of the first round, I submit, would be more economical than trading up from say 7 into the top 5, and given the extra picks in the mid rounds, is more affordable than what would ordinarily be the case.

Indeed.

Or... suppose a player that should be selected in the 10-14 range slides to 15, I'd be open for using some of the plethora of picks we have this year to move up from 20.

LOL you beat me to it.

Thomas and Jeudy/Ruggs
Brown and Henderson
or some combination thereof would be really nice.
