How Far Would You Trade Back? 23 Too Far?

tampa gives us #14 & their 2nd rounder #45...id do this

Over the last several years, I put CBS draft coverage in the same boat as Walter Football. There coverage is vanilla and often flawed...especially their mocks. 

By no means is any of this an exact science nor can anyone predict how the actual draft will shake out. It's just that CBS does what everyone else does at a lower level of intelligence, IMO.

Joe Marino's latest mock has us dealing with the Patriots in order for them to move up to 7 for their QB of the future. In this scenario, we move back to 23 (also receive NE 2020 3rd rounder - #87 overall) and select Kenneth Murray as our new franchise MLBer

More importantly though, we also land New England's 2021 1st rounder and 2021 3rd rounder in the proposed trade.

He has us selecting:

R1: Kenneth Murray (LB)

R2: Neville Gallimore (DT)

R3: Damon Arnette (CB)

R3: Damien Lewis (OG)

Then in 2021, we still inherit New England's 1st rounder and their 3rd rounder too.... only losing the #7 overall this year. Simmons and Okudah were off the board, leaving only Brown or Kinlaw on defense and all of the OTs still there.

I would 100% be on board for this. We still get a franchise LBer and a mean DT, while still securing a CB2 in Arnette. In 2021, we load up on ammo to move around the draft board as needed. This flexibility for 2021, makes losing Brown or Kinlaw okay because Gallimore is such a talented DT while adding a patrolman like Murray at 23. 

Thoughts??

I want as many pics next year as possible

That would be tempting.

You would have 3 picks in the top 50.  You might end up with something like Thomas (OT), Mims (WR). Fulton (CB)

I'd do that trade in a heartbeat. A first and third for 2021 and a third this year is great for a team that has a lot of holes.
