It could very well be that there won't be anyone left for other teams to jump on.....other than a team like the Eagles (who have a million picks) wanting to move way up to grab a guy like Williamson or Benson (if he falls), and we're obviously not going to be the team to accomodate them. Most of the other teams may very well be happy to stay at their pick and get the best player available. The problem is, most of the guys worth trading up for will be gone by #9.

I've said before that I would support trading down to get Rogers or a DE and a 2nd rounder, because there are so many good DEs, but not really any one great DE in this draft. Then we could get a WR (which there are a ton of) in the 2nd and a CB or O-line depth in the 3rd. Problem is, we can't be the only team thinking that way. I hope, if we can't get one of the top 2 WRs or CBs we can find a trade partner, but I'm doubting more and more than there will be any teams there in the middle of the 1st round willing to do it. I mean really, if we are willing to trade down, then that probably means there is nobody there worth another team giving up their 2nd round pick for.

Either way, I see the worst case scenario being that we get either Rogers or Williamson at #9, and I think I've prepared myself enough to be happy with that.
