I mean, we traded a 7th for Henry once. We can trade Avery or Henry for a 7th now. Or more likely, we can swap one for a CB or IOL.

Nfl.com reporting the Jets are interested in trading up as well.

Hopefully this is the typical bullshit and we don't get desperate pursuing a LT

Even if someone bites...it won't be for anything more than a 4th round pick.

I think your sights are high. I’d be thrilled with a 5th for any of them I expect a 6 at best unless it’s a conditional deal for next year
Need a new one for a new board...

If you read the post, you’d notice I said the best we could do is a 4th...not “hey, getting a 4th for sure”

I've been worried for a while all four tackles wouldn't be there, and the closer you get to draft day, the more realistic that seems unfortunately. While this team has needs across the board, you can argue that protecting Sam at all costs is worth it.

I don't want to give up draft capital. But I also don't want to be stuck at 11 taking a WR or CB.

I still think I would prefer to trade down than trade up, but there's a pretty big gap between the big four and everyone else.

However, it would suck if we gave up a 3rd-round pick just so we could take Douglas' preferred tackle when we had an option at 11. I don't want to give up a 3rd-rounder for Wirfs/Wills if Becton/Thomas is there at 11, for example.

I'm sure they have trade arrangements already planned. Sit tight.  If they are getting near 8 and tackles are flying off the board, move up.  If not, stay at 11.

Stay put or move back, Draft multiple players in a very strong OL and WR class, our biggest needs to develop our franchise QB.
My dad always says he's undefeated at tailgating

Maybe it's not I who doesn't know what he's talking about

As long as we don't dip into next year's draft... just get me a freaking lineman.

I think the issue with trading up is wed be freaking ourselves in drafting a wideout in a great draft for it

Unless we somehow manage to trade up only giving up our 1st plus a player (cough cough Le'Veon Bell)

I've been thinking a lot about this today. They've probably gameplanned several trade-ups/trade-downs and contingency plans. I'm sure at the least one of these permutations, if all 4 OTs are gone by 11, includes trading for trent williams

if all 4 OTs are gone by 11 at that point i honestly wouldn't mind sending one of our 3rds for williams

in sum, i just really hope by the end of tonight we have a tangible prospect or starter in place for one of the OT spots next year

I gave up on  any draft rumors a few days ago. It's like the MSM these days; a large majority of it is bullsh*t.

Lets just get to the freaking draft already.

I think they are out on Trent unless its a low pick with no new contract for a 1 year rental.  They'd be foolish to entertain signing him to a new deal.

Darren Rovell @darrenrovell

The most intriguing bet of the draft was just placed.

A like “what does this dude know?” bet.

Someone just bet $3,000 at @BetMGM for the Miami Dolphins to take Utah State QB Jordan Love.

Would profit $36,000.

I’d bet the odds on Love at 5 are astronomical
