Trade down?

my thoughts.... wel... not exactly.... but almost. the last few drafts we have traded up and up and up, because there have been 2 or 3 guys we thought were first round worthy. i dont think i even see 2 this year. if this was last years draft, or even the year before. Mingo, Jones, Lotulelei, Ogletree, all guys considered 1st round worthy this year, would all have been 2nd rounders at best in previous drafts, this draft is not starter worthy, it is full of depth and backups. i see us trading down more than anything. i really think Jones and Mingo are the only players we would stay in the 1st round for. if they arent there, i would say we trade into the bottom end of the 1st round, maybe even mid to high 2nd round and pick up either a DT or an OT

As we've said - it's not down to us to decide whether we trade down or not. It all comes down to whether or not we have a partner. But I do want to stress that you're wrong about Lotulelei. For my money he's going to be best as a 3-4 DE and he is not only a day 1 starter - he's got a good chance to me a multiple Pro Bowl pick over the course of his career.
