That’s the problem with too many GM’s. They fall in love with players. They should fall in “like” with players. For example, Miami should be happy with four players with their top pick. All three of the top wideouts and Pitts. If they can trade down and still get one of these players it’s better value and a smarter hedge of your investment than just picking the guy you absolutely love at #3.

Fans also fall in love with 'their' guy and when he isn't selected Grier sucks.

I agree with you to a point. In this year's case yes, if what they want is a top WR(I hope so) then I'm ok with any of the 3 if we move down. If we were looking for a QB(glad we're not) then you don't trade down thinking anyone of 3 will do. You take your QB. Same if what you need is a pass rusher and there's one like Young then you take Young.

Agree 100%. I’d be stunned if they don’t trade back.

Exactly how I feel. I think if I were a GM, the only position I would be willing to move up for is a QB in the first round.

Sounds like the attitude that landed us Iggy and Jackson. Don't draft like u think u are the smartest guys in the room.

If u are regularly drafting in a way that u are terrified of missing out on the one guy u are "in love with," you are doing it wrong.

In the end, these prospects are still relatively unknown quantities. You need to be willing to take the risk of potentially missing out on "ur guy" if it is possible to get them later. At least within reason.

That mock has our pick sandwiched between 4 QB's. And Cincinnati taking the risk we are supposedly unwilling to (while still getting their guy).

I know this is just one guy's opinion. But if the QB's are actually valued this highly, we would be making a big mistake by refusing to trade down.

Pitts or bust - I’ve looked at smith and waddle chase - not sure I’m in love with any of them....it’ll take a while for them to get to their NFL potential...while Pitts is already a man amongst boys...

This is exactly to my point (my post above). If we don't draft Pitts you will want to vent for sure.
 
I'm open to Pitts or Chase with that top pick. Really don't like seeing Wilson going to the jets even in a mock. Yikes can the Fields hype begin to pick up again?!
