Agree about the QB, but I’m not expecting a first round pick to be traded down to accumulate fourth and fifth round picks. An additional second and third would make more sense, in my opinion. That would give us 1 first, 3 seconds, and 2 thirds. I think he may consider top 100 quantity over top 31 quality, obviously depending upon the players available.
As far as trading to fill that hole in the fourth/fifth rounds, I think that could be done by moving our third, or simply moving our third next year too, particularly since we’re projected to have 3 third round picks when you add the two from the comp formula. Also, he may very well be okay with only picking up a fourth this year and leaving the fifth round bare. It’s not like we need to have a pick in every round. 2 firsts, 2 seconds, a third, a fourth, and the late rounders would probably work just fine. It shouldn’t be too hard to add a fourth rounder by parting with one of next years thirds.
I also think that he could move one of the top 4 picks into next year just the same. That would give us a nice draft this year and guarantee some options for next with the three third rounders and possible additions from a first/second this year.
