We have plenty of spots for our picks. It’s very likely Campbell will be there at 9. Historically we have traded up, but we have a new coach and possibly a new draft philosophy
Correct. And what did we do last season at 14? We had a trade-back set up if Bowers fell and when he went a pick ahead of us, we stayed put.
I think the trade-ups in the past were a combination of having a pretty loaded roster ost years and already fielding a contender. The odd-out was the trade to acquire Penning and Olave. That one was llikely made because we really believed in the two players. If Penning would've hit and Olave didn't have the concussion issues (and MT would've stayed productive and on the team) we wouldn't be complaining.
I believe we'll stay put at #9 this draft with a trade-back possible if there's a team that wants to move up and can't find a deal to move up higher than #9. Really only see a couple players being available at #9 that teams might be willing to tade up for. Jeanty if available and/or one of the OTs. Unless one of the QBs actually do fall to #9, which seems unlikely to me.
