trading away any of this year pick's will be foolish .

It would be foolish to keep all of the picks. How reasonable is it to think that we would draft 9 players, across 7 rounds, and that they would all make the team?

You increase your chances of success by selecting higher in the draft. I know I know ... we have found gems and bargains in the past, in the later rounds. But the percentages are against that.

I don't think there is any way at all that we pick 9 players in this draft.

No, chances of finding good players increase when you have more picks. Nothing is guaranteed, even at the top of the draft. Last year, we traded up for Cooks, good player, staying at our spot, we could have picked Benjamin, plus another player in an extremely deep draft. Also, we dont have to pick 9 players, we can always trade for 2016 draft picks. Even drafting 9 players is no issue, one or two will get injured, there might be a Fortt, that will be cut. You will always find a way to keep good players, and cut the bad ones.
I am 100% against trading up in the first round. If we can use a 5th or 7th rounder to move up in the 3rd, so be it.
