That’s what I’m thinking. I believe the reports that we’re one of the teams most aggressively wanting to trade down but unless someone is afraid of NO taking Sanders and for some reason wants him, I don’t see it happening.

Maybe if Will Campbell or Armand Membou fall to #8 a team like the Bears, 49ers or Dolphins could look to move up, but even that seems doubtful, IMO.

I think if Membou is there we may take him. For both Graham and Membou to be there someone above us has to take another qb or another wr. That would blow up mock drafts everywhere lol.

I might could see Sanders going at #8 and some team making sure NO doesn't take him.  Just because everything is a reality TV show these days and he provides some short term bump nationally for a team (so Sanders offers some things non-football related others don't.  No one really does in comparison).  It is an entertainment league after all.  So I actually think that aspect will keep Sanders from taking the drop his football play says he should see and some expect.  

in an entertainment world, for an entertainment league, the Sanders family will make sure the team that takes him doesn't totally strike out.  They get early returns.

The kind of attention he will bring most teams do not want.

true.  but that's not true for all 32 teams and 32 owners.  

and the Sanders family is bringing a very crafted NFL PG-entertainment vibe with it.   Teams don't want distractions.  But I also wouldn't lump all distractions as they same.  I would assume, there are teams that don't view the Sanders media show as a typical distraction but can be a bonus.

The distraction comes when his famous father starts criticizing the team and coach on national TV for the lack of his sons success.

There's a load of indications that we want to, but apparently so do a lot of teams and you have to have someone willing to trade up.

Guess we'll see...

I posted this poll a few days ago and rather surprisingly it was close to 50/50 on the trade or not trade. Curious to see if the mood has changed given some of the recent rumors on us being the most aggressive.

I seriously doubt anyone is going to trade with us. There's no qb worth trading up for this year and I do not see a skill position player anyone would trade up for other than Jeanty should he fall to us. Even then the other team would have to be convinced NO would take him with the very next pick. I don't see that happening.

I've been saying for awhile now that if there's a massive curveball coming tonight it's us drafting an OT.

Or Mason Graham. If he falls to 8, I'm sure we could find someone who wants to move up and grab him.

But something crazy needs to happen for us to trade. If the chips fall where expected, we'll pick at 8 and won't be able to trade out.

If Mason Graham falls we'd better damn well take him.

I'm pretty sure they will barring something that hasn't been made public yet.
