Interesting mock with trade back scenario

[TheMostInterestingMan]

Would be so stoked to get Brown at 13... but I’m really not crazy about the rest of the draft. Might as well just stay lol.

Summarizing the picks:

1-13: Derrick Brown, DT

2-38: AJ Terrell, CB

2-44: Kyle Duggar, S

3-69: Matt Hennessy, IOL

So we trade back with Indy, dropping from 7 to 13, still nab Derrick Brown, and get pick 44 in return.

I highlight this mock because in the very possible scenario that Simmons and Okudah are gone by 7 (otherwise I'd stay at 7 and draft them), I think we should aggressively seek a trade back somewhere in front of the Falcons, where we would have a high likelihood of still nabbing either Brown or Kinlaw. Jaguars and Falcons seem to be the teams most likely to draft a DT. Most people see a run on offensive tackles and receivers in between their picks. Trading back is always a gamble, but if we can get good draft capital in return for dropping from 7 to 9-14, we should do it. Of course there's the very real possibility no one wants to trade up. Would probably be contingent on someone falling in love with Herbert.

The only gripe I have is with the corner.  I think we can go in a few different directions with that pick and come back in the 4th round for a corner.  Corner value is mid-rounds heavy.

Overall solid, but again, Brown lasting to #13 is a pipe dream and the reason I would only do it is if he's already gone.

Good idea.  Someone will be available at 13, that’s why trading down makes sense.
