I’m totally fine with this. Considering the qb of our future is not on the current roster, and there likely won’t be a viable option at qb at pick 13, I’d love for us to focus on the defensive line since there’s so much depth at that position this year, and focus on getting our future qb/the OL to protect him in 2020
I used to be a fan of trading back and accumulating picks.
Then I realize over time that if you don't hit on your 1st and 2nd round picks, your team spirals slowly likely a slow flushing toilet.
Don't get me wrong, you need to hit everywhere in the draft. You need good player development that can make those late round picks and UDFA's turn into excellent values.
But if you don't hit on your elite picks, your team misses that opportunity to put a true difference maker on the field. You need players who can elevate your scheme, coaching and players around him.
They don't have to be at premium positions to create uniqueness in your diversity. In fact, a generational or elite caliber talent at any position can change your entire team's chemistry and fortunes.
So, under valuing your own ability to correctly identify and pick elite talent tends to take away from the true potential of your organization to be elite.
Even in a rebuild, you need cornerstones.
Trading out of the 1st to gather picks is same thing as saying Tunsil and Minkah aren't key cogs in our future.
They are and will be. We need just as many cogs as we do role players. The more you hit on your 1sts, the more weaknesses you conceal and strengths create.
We need more elite players that we have drafted.

Bill has not declared for the Draft
I smell comp pickDont forget wake got a decent contract too that we havent exactly matched with our bargain bin signings
I think they would've done a better job w the oline in FA if we were picking a QB this draftMurray
Lock
Haskins
20 years of looking for a QB and we got a shot at these three ...lol ya lets move back....
We need more than anything a QB and I'd be shocked if our guys are not peeing in their pants to getting one of these guys...
We haven't been is such a good position with this kind of QB value in a long time and I really doubt our guys are not More than aware of the shot we have with one of these guys and if super lucky Murray...
I mean IMO you can take that to the bank.... All these silly ideas of moving back or picking another position when 3 top shelf QB's are there for the taking....
We will be moving, yes but not back....
and then adding the right players around that guy ...you'll see...
I mean I'd be surprised as hell if they didn't and think like all the FO changes were for naught...You may not like one of those guys and feel he's not the best in the world but anyone of those 3 is a no brainer to go after...and we are lucky as H now to have the shot we have...JMO

The more aggressive you are trying to trade out the more apt you are to cut a bad deal. Let it play out. If there is a good trade partner for good value, ya trade out. However you also have to weigh out the value of who is still on the board at 13. If another Tunsil or Fitz is sitting there, you have to put that into the equation, is passing on a potential pro bowler worth the value of the draft pics gained on a trade out.
