Or do you think it might still not be enough? The Bronco’s 4th is higher than the 4th from the Texans they got for DT, so it matters which one we got. Do you guys think we can reasonably trade up?

I would just use the 4th round pick. There's good value in the 4th round. Not sure it's worth trying to move up into the 2nd unless there's someone really talented there that's falling for whatever reason. A 1st, two 3rds, two 4ths will allow EDC to draft some young talent, hopefully split between pass rusher, o-line, and offensive skill positions. A LB and/or S who can cover the deep middle would also be welcome.

But overall, at least from what I've read, this is expected to be a somewhat deep and not overly top heavy draft, so it'd have to be a chance to draft a special player to be worth a trade up.

We trade our 3rd and our comp 3rd with the Cardinals or the Raiders, and select a WR at the top of the 3rd.

Trading a third and swapping a third to select a WR at the top of the 3rd doesn't not sound like a good strategy. Too steep. We need playmakers everywhere.

I do not promote this vision; I only foresee it.

50/50 that we trade down from 22 and end up with a 2nd

My opinion is that if there's a solid player who slips down to #22 then take him. I do not want the, Derwin James situation again. Sorry to

Otherwise, DeCosta can trade down and I'd be OK with it... Bc
