If Monti doesn't trade down, are we really in a simulation?

Monti loves to trade down. This draft has maybe 8 or 10 blue chips. We could use ANY of them. None really worth a 3. Whomever is at 7 or 8 is fine by me.

If Monti doesnt trade down, we are in a sim. Usually our super bowl (the draft) is fun but I just don't care at this point. We are so cooked next season.

I love/hate this team.

I'd trade down from 3 if there is demand. I don't see anyone there at 3 that is better than you can get at 5 or 6 or 8.

At 3 your looking at Reese or Bain, but I think Bailey as good at 6. Or vice versa.

I'd have no issue with it this year but then other teams might well think the same thing and not see value in trading up.

We have an extremely capable roster next year, just like we did this year. Unfortunately, our cuck of an owner is unlikely to do much of anything to improve the most ineffective training staff in NFL history. Draft picks don’t matter when they will all be injured anyway.

If you were the GM of any of the teams picking 4-12 do you see anybody worth trading up for?

Caleb Downs and Jeremiyah Love are the only blue chip prospects in this class. If you want a blue chipper we're spending pick #3 on a safety.

Stop trading down, and get a good player. Coulda drafted a dang all star team by now with all the times this front office made a decision to trade down and get cute.

Coulda drafted an all star team with the trade downs as well. It’s about who you pick not necessarily where.

Anderson, DeJean, the list goes on and for years, decades.

Anderson DeJean Verse. Monti traded down too much. I remember when it happened in round 1. I figured they would get burned on their decision. Round 2, they went Rutgers instead of DeJean. They passed on Seattle's huge safety too. Passed on Cook the rb in round 2 one year: not MO but an example. They passed on Anderson Jr. Decades of this stuff...Adrian Peterson, Urlacher, blah blah

No way...maybe 2 blue chips.
Thats the problem. if there were 10 blue chips trading 3 would be easy. But there is Mendoza,...and a safety.
then we get into red chip territory
