Especially with this draft being so deep at guard that a good starter could be picked up in round 3 without breaking a sweat.God I hope not. Trading up for a guard would be crippling for this franchise.

Well when you think about it, it was the OL that cost us the Eagles game and was a major contributor to our losing streak.God I hope not. Trading up for a guard would be crippling for this franchise.
Yeah this seems more likely. Or at least that would make more sense to me. The OP said that we don't have the roster spots for a lot of rookies. If you look at our depth chart I see plenty of room for rookies. We aren't so loaded that we have no room for young talent. That was always the line from SP and Loomis back in the day when they traded up willy nilly. I don't know if that was true then but it's certainly not true now.I could see a trade up late day 2 or early day 3. I think they have a ton of room for all our picks though. Look at the 2026 roster. They will need a ton of bodies very soon.
I think if we trade in the first round it won’t be up in regards to the 9th pick, but we may pick at 9 and trade back into the first round.Loomis has 4 picks in the third and fourth rounds. Plus an extra 7th.
But, what convinces me the most that we will trade is how many vets we signed at positions of need.
We rarely have top ten picks. Look at our draft history. So we aren’t trading down. We have a Louisiana connection thing going on. We could trade up for Will Campbell. The Raiders at 6 who want an excuse to draft Jeanty over other players are a prime candidate to trade down.
We don’t have the roster spots for 8 rookies. We will trade up. Even if we stay put at 9, we will trade up from
40.
Quick, use the power of reversible psychopathy!The last thing I want is for Loomis to trade up so we are 100% going to trade up.
I'm pro OL in the draft. Just don't trade up for a guard.Well when you think about it, it was the OL that cost us the Eagles game and was a major contributor to our losing streak.
