Just for the hell of it, ignoring all of the hypotheticals.. Would you rather trade up from #45 into the later stage of round 1 and take OT Josh Jones/Ezra Cleveland? Or trade down from 14 and grab one or the other in the late 1st, adding a couple picks?
Trade Up from 45:
This would first and foremost allow us to take a top 14 player in the draft and still get a RT we like (our guys really seem to like both of them). The obvious downside is what we would give up. Our 3rd round pick is likely gone in this scenario and it will likely require at least a 6th as well.
Trade Down from 14:
While we don't land a Kinlaw or Chaisson or WR early in the draft, we still get the tackle we need plus an extra 2nd and 3rd.
A) Trade Up:
1a Ruggs/Chaisson/Kinlaw/Lamb/Etc.
1b OT (Cleveland or Jones)
