Yeah I fear that last year may give them the confidence to try this.

We have a rare chance to solve a  long-standing need. Don’t get cute.

 

They are only cute. That's why our 2021 draft is likely to be the disaster that I think it will be. 

Trading down is for teams that are built or crush at talent evaluations. We aren't either of those.

Centers rarely go top 10. In fact they rarely go top 15. 

I think Linderbaum could be. I wouldn't be mad at getting him in that 10-15 range. 

People said the same thing about TE, yet the Falcons took one top 5 last draft. If a guy is supposed to be a once in a decade or longer prospect at his position, some team will pull the trigger. Heck, the Raiders took a kicker once upon a time in round one when everyone said nobody does that.

I wouldn't be shocked I would be furious 

I would be shocked if they went DB again in top 10. I wouldn’t be shocked if they signed someone like Cam Robinson to try to fix the OT problem and then they trade the 6th pick for more picks and pass on Ekwonu, Neal, etc. 
 

Personally, I think the better move is to draft a player who can play OT ($20 mil per year position),  sign a FA safety like Marcus Williams so Chinn can play strong safety and maybe get down in the box more. Chinn needs to be our Chancellor. Find a rangy FS to play the Earl Thomas role and draft the OT rather than signing one.

IOL are different. TE's have grown to be game changers. Centers are important but also far easier to obtain.

We're just going to have to agree to disagree. Linderbaum is supposed to be the best center prospect in years and the best O-lineman in the draft. Some team will take a chance, especially with two teams having two top ten picks.

I like him as a prospect but I have grown to be leary of small, athletic centers. Kalil was unreal but a lot of the guys with similar profiles(Tyler C being one) have not lived up to that billing.

Panthers will trade down to the 11-15 range. 1st for 1st+2nd+4th/5th

Expect Ekwonu or Linderbaum to be the pick from there

Absolute best case scenario IMO operating under the assumption we trust BC at LT or sign one in FA. I imagine Ickey doesn't have the "right size" Rhule wants for a LT, though. 

But, Ickey can play OG or LT if needed and Linderbaum would honestly be a dream to lock the center position up for the next decade. Grab more OL in the 2nd (or even QB if we want a glimmer of hope) and the OL rebuild is on at least.

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
