One of about 4 guys that will be available at 30. 

And who are those?

DG might surprise us all...I would say he goes safety in the 1st. Karl Joseph/Craven/Jones

I could see that.

Cravens won't be the Panthers first round pick.

This is the only real question.  I agree that it is unlikely that he will be our bpa at 30. It's more likely that we trade up to the mid to late 40s for a safety.

So are you asserting that DG has had conversations with you about who is truly on his draft board?  No disrespect...but I call BS on that.  

I know you have access to players and may hear rumors.  But, there is no way a successfully run org is tipping their hand to a sideline photographer.  Especially one who has runs a message board on the Internet.

With Joseph and Neal, I'm curious why the SS prospects capable of good in-the-box play aren't looked at a little closer at 30 outside of Cravens.

I'd love Cash, Killebrew, or Thompson in the 2nd but I'm just surprised by the lack of hype around Neal and Joseph.

Well, I guess that depends on who views him as a first round talent. Baltimore, New England and Pittsburgh are in love with him according to the rumors. He may not make it to 30. We'll see though.

I don't think Cravens gets passed Pittsburgh or possibly New England if they trade into the first round. I think we target maybe somone like Thompson or Killebrew in the second.

I'm not an expert in trade values.  Can anyone here give some suggestions as to what it would take to move up to pick 40 - 45 in round 2?  Any suggestions on possible trade partners?

Last year it took our 2 and 3 to move up and take Funchess around 40ish

And a 6th to move 16 spots from 57 to 41.

I'd really prefer if we didn't trade up again this year. Low volume drafting is generally a very bad long term strategy.

After the SB, I want O-Line so bad. The last tackle we drafted in the 1st was Otah. The last one that worked longevity wise, was Gross

Here's a version of the trade value chart.  http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/draft/draft-trade-chart/

Jon Robinson, Titans GM, stated there are many versions of this, and, quite frankly, it doesn't mean a hill of beans if both teams feel the deal helps their team.  That said, we're got getting back into the 40s without giving up at least our 3rd and the high 40s without giving up our 3rd AND 4th IMO.  Way too rich IMO.  I know we're loaded and space is tight, but it's very hard to imagine only getting one player in rounds 2-4.

You can't just take a tackle in the first and poof!. There has to be one worth taking. Recently there hasn't been.
