People think the Cardinals really want out, and would really like an offensive tackle. And if the Titans are going to take Love at 4, why not look to trade at 5 or 6 instead for cheaper? The Cardinals threatening to stick and take Love disarms this plan. Because the implied threat becomes “hey, we’ll just take Love and then the Titans are sure to stick and pick your defensive target at 4. So you better come trade with us at 3 to get him.” Hyperion, and Pragidealist 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you ascribed a position to me that I did not take and then attacked me for it. But it's cool. I'm just suspicious of measurable guys playing new positions, esp at top of the draft.

I mean I'm not crazy about drafting a RB at 4 either, and I'm at least as suspicious of Tate as a top 4 pick as Styles and Reese.

airmcnair22 Posted Tuesday at 05:20 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 05:20 PM From Wyatt’s mailbag on the possibility of moving up into the first round Jim: Hey Justin. I'm not ruling anything out. I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that the team moves into the back of the first round, but something like this wouldn't transpire until the night of the draft. So much hinges on which players might be available, and what other teams might be willing to do. But if there's a guy sitting there late in the first the team really wants, then I imagine some calls will be made. headhunter, and titanskick8851 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might cost less to move up from rd 2 this year because so many teams are desperate to trade down. I think. 35 + our fourth gets you into the late 20s. If it’s going to cost less you might as well take advantage of it and get yourself a day one starter. Guessing the spot is for a G/ILB/WR/edge.

My issue is spending premium capital on a guard or center when half the top players at those positions get drafter outside the top 2 rounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn all this nonsense. Trade up from 35? We need more players, not fewer! I think I'm getting serious draft fatigue. Is it Thursday yet?

I wonder if this is dependent on them trading down at 4. Feels like a team with so many holes shouldn’t be parting ways with draft capital. But of course depends on what the trade compensation would be rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are assuming some of these day 3 guys will turn out to be starters. some of these positions the value (starting potential) runs out earlier , OL you have to draft earlier. airmcnair22 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm guessing here but adding a 5th or 6th round pick to go up a few spots, I could see.). I don't see them trading a 3rd or 4th to do any big jumps. airmcnair22, and rns90 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have an extra high fifth rounder we can use. I’d use Levis in day 3 or round 3 to move up since his value is pretty low (6th rounder) Pragidealist 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even about the day 3 guys. It's about the potential extra day 2 player you're giving up. Whatever they want to do I'll root for its success. But I think most of us would rather trade down from 4 than trade up from 35. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
