I know trades are hard, but if THE guy is not there at 10, it feels like a trade is a real possibility. With 2x 2nds, I could also see a trade back to the later half of the 2nd with a team wanting to move up early on Day 2. The hauls for moving back from 10 AND moving down from 39 is crazy. 

I keep getting SEA 18 and 50 to move back from 10. Then to move back from 39, I got HOU 58 and 79. So the updated picks look like:
1 - 18
2 - 41, 50, 58
3 - 72, 79
5 - 148
7 - 233, 240

4 picks in the first two rounds would be amazing, and 6 in the top 80? 

I expect something similar to that scenario. If Warren or Jeanty is there look for Denver to jump up. Payton does stuff like that. The value chart shows Denver pick 20, 51 and 122 for #10.

The more this is discussed, and I know you need a partner, but a trade down seems like the best option.

So I guess the question becomes, if there is a trade down scenario to say SEA at #18 with #50 for 10, which players are you taking instead of that trade down scenario?

 

If the Bears get to 10 and Campbell is there AND SEA wants to trade, do you take Campbell or the trade? Which players would you take over the trade, assuming at least that Carter and Hunter are the two non-QBs that are gone for sure?

Is Jeanty worth it? Warren? Banks? Which one player is worth sticking with 10 for?

Did the Seahawks trade down and a couple others and ended up with this, which I was pretty happy with. Scourton seems like Ty best fit of the first round DEs with what Allen seems to prefer.

I would be very happy with this draft. I would prefer Xavier Restrepo, but don't think they draft one this high. Later in the draft you can get Jimmy Horn or Donte Thornton Jr.

One thing I noticed with these mock draft simulators, there is a huge difference depending on how many QBs go in the top 10, with some having Dart go in the top 10 (Kiper has him going to NO at #9). So the draft looks completely different if 3 QBs go in the top 10.

QBs always make GMs stupid.

I keep seeing Shemar Stewart, the edge from Texas A&M mocked to the Bears and while his size seems to fit the Dennis Allen mold, between his 4.5 TOTAL sacks over three years and this note on his run defense, I am fully out on him.

Another useful tweet with regard to the edge class, particularly for those considering Shemar Stewart or Mychal Williams.

As much as we have this narrowed down to a few players, Poles is going to surprise us , I can feel it.

But I think we’ll have some indication leading up to. Like Darnell Wright pick was a surprise relative to where we were a month out from the draft, but that was kind of a tending pick in the days leading up to the draft.

I’m seeing more mock drafts with the Bears selecting a DT at 10.   As much as LT would be nice I haven’t seen one yet worth drafting over a likely Pro Bowl DT.  Despite the depth in this draft there is a significant drop off after the top 3 DTs.   Whereas DE sees a drop immediately after Carter.   The DE you get at 20 won’t be much different from the one you can get at 39 or 41 albeit with varying athletic traits.

Its a good argument, especially if Banks is gone, and you dont know how Simmons will recover.

even more true given that Allen likes his DEs a little bigger than the league generally does. When you favor a less popular body type, they can be available a little later in the draft.

For a pick at 10 there just isn't a must pick LT. Membou will be the first OL off the board and then Campbell. I don't think either ends up LTs. Then Banks and Simmons,I think they play LT but they're not pro bowl types IMO, above average starters but is that the pick you want at 10 ? The DT you take should be in that mold. Nolen, Grant is my choices for there.
