Draft or Trade Down

Elvis said

I would trade down no matter who fell to us at #9 if the haul is good. The better the player to fall, the better the bounty. I think a trade back into the late teens or early 20s, plus a 2nd and a 3rd, and a pick next year would be ideal. We really need to recoup some of the picks we've traded away over the past 5 years. We've drafted the least amount of players of any team over that period and our depth shows it. We need as many 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounders as we can get.

This x 100. If Genty, Sanders or Ward or someone unexpected were to fall to us at 9 and we could trade back to 20-25, this could be just the break that our franchise needs to turn things around. Heck, if we could package Taysom plus our 9th, we could get their 20, 2nd rd and their 3rd. Without Taysom, we could get their 2nd and 4th.

It's not that far fetched really. Could you imagine the 20th. 2 2nds, 3 3rds and 2 4ths, 5th and 7th. Instant depth that we need. This doesn't count if we get something for any other veteran trades.
