As long as it's not a bargain

This. A trade down honestly sounds like a good idea but getting fleeced just to say we traded down doesn't. I'd rather take the BPA at #8 than move down for considerably less than traditional market value.

We are not getting normal value in a draft that is this poor at the top but at the same time deep. Go with BPA, which is probably going to be Will Campbell. You don't want to trade with us, we are going to take your player.

Also from Breer,

• Georgia edge rusher Mykel Williams had just a so-so workout last week and told teams he wasn’t at his best because an ankle injury from the fall hampered him a little.

Sounds like the Panthers front office likes the smell of their own farts too much and thinks there are chump teams willing to give up a haul but this isn't the draft for it. And our rep is still the team that gets fleeced not the team that does the fleecing.

We don't need a haul just fair compensation, or even slightly unfair

Best news of the offseason. I still want an extra 2nd but a 3rd would still be worth it given the options at 8. I just hope someone bites.

If all we can get is a 3rd they will have to have a sweetener added to make it work. A straight up 3rd would be a bad trade

If you have something for sale and you don't like the price,  you keep it.  Still,  I expect at least a few teams are putting together offers for 8 if Jeanty or Sanders are there.

I think more Jeanty and Hampton at this point.  Dallas is crazy for a RB and might be our ticket for a trade back if they see Chicago as a threat to take the guy they want

Best speculated return I've seen suggested so far is an extra mid second round pick.

The best 2nd round pick we've made in the last 8 years was Taylor Moton all the way back in 2017. And that was a Dave Gettleman pick. We are simply not good at this.

This is the draft to have 2nd round picks.

I appreciate your enthusiasm. I'm hoping for a successful outcome for a change. We'll see.
