Unless we traded up for Ingram or Cox I'm all for trading down perhaps even trying to snag both of St. Louis' second rounders. I've pretty much been watching all the highlights on the early round talent and I'm not really sold on any of the players in the first that we cold reasonably go after.

I totally want them to trade out of the frist round, loading up from the 2nd round on.

I hear you.

It makes no sense to pay first round money on a second round player, which may happen at #27, but will likely happen at #31.

This guy has a mock with a trade down of both our firsts. Avenger has done a great piece of work.

With Light retiring we have an additional need, I like Nate Potter as a developmental tackle in the 3rd-4th round.

I prefer Brandon Mosley, offensive tackle from Auburn, since I personally believe Mosley has better upside than Potter.

I agree.
People get too excited over picking in the 1st rd., as if its the only place that top level talent is drafted. In reality both of our 1sts are only a few picks shy of bring 2nd rounders.
lets not forget that Rob Gronkowski was a2nd rd. Pick... And I personally wouldn't trade him for any top 10 pick that year.

As long as vinny curry is one of the second round picks, i don't care.

To add to my 1st post, I think we, as fans, get too caught up in 1st rd player/talent, 2nd rd. Player / talent etc....
When in reality, nfl teams view players value/rank as a 1-100+ format.
So as a better way to look at it., you're not trading an exalted 1st rd., player for a less desirable pair of 2nd rounders, but more realistically, trading the 27th best player (in some peoples eyes) for maybe the 33rd and 49th best players. So in reality you can grab another top 50 talent for only sliding back 6 spots. Furthermore, that player you passed on at 27 could be a #27 value (according to your ratings) but be a position you have no need for, like QB
