Hey Boys!
They know they have to trade back and get as many picks as possible that is the best option trying to trade back and get more mid round picks imagine if we traded back twice once to like 28 or 29 get a 3rd n 4th for moving back 8-9 spots then trading out of pick 29 or 30 and we get a 2nd n 3rd we would have 2 2nds 3 3rds 2 4ths we could turn 3 picks into 7 in the top 125 picks they have already started talking about seeing the most value at the end of the first into day 2 it takes other teams to want to move obviously but there is always teams wanting to move up I bet from picks 26 to 29 or 30 they are all teams that could try moving up for someone with how this roster is right now getting as many picks on day 2 and early day 3 is what it needs
To be honest the first round is losing all its value because it is always nice to have that 5th year option but anymore it doesn't matter because players are getting signed to new deals after 3 years anymore all the 5th year option is for players that teams are not sure about instead of the team using it to their advantage if the 0player is really good
If nolan Smith isn't there at 21 they should be trying to move back with someone I doubt Smith makes it too 21 cus he is the 3rd or 4th edge on most boards I see it being at pick 21 the 5th best edge might be there and at that point you need to pivot to a different position and to be fair their probably isn't anyone worth that high of a pick like I like Mayer and kincaid and zay flowers but those three players are like pick 28 or higher on my board we need to move back and there will be a bunch of options available if we can trade back once to the end of the first then trade out of the 1st for a second trade back that would be best case scenario

My best case picks if they drop Nolan Smith/Luke Muscrave
I’m not very big on VanNess. I like Murphy a lot more. Van Ness wasn’t even a starter on the Iowa defense and there has to be a reason for it. He doesn’t have nearly the amount of tape that other guys do. His pass rush skills are very raw and he really only has a bull rush and swim move. I think his football knowledge is so much less than other guys and that’s why he didn’t play nearly as much because there was so much he didn’t know and they couldn’t play him if he doesn’t know how to defend everything. They mostly used him in pure pass rush situations so they could tell him to just rush and not have to worry about what to do when offenses did certain things. I have a hard time drafting a guy like this that high when he’s really only a edge 3 developmental guy. They can use guys like Nolan Smith all 4 downs. They can put him at off the ball Lb me walk him up on the edge and rush. He is so much different than Bods and Mack that they can all be out there and use Smith to shadow QBs or chase RBs down from backside. The same can be said about other guys like McDonald or Murphy who can play inside, nascar packages, and other things. I really love Felix too.
No chance Nolan Smith falls :*(
4.39??!! So he’s Micah parsons. He’s going between 6 and 13 and will never fall past that with those numbers and his body comp to parsons
