They interrupt him as he's saying, so easy to miss, but he says "yeah we like that spot" in regard to is 16 a good value to trade back with. Trader John's gonna really have to be wowed or not have a decent offer to not trade back I think.

I'm not sold on that idea. Especially if someone they really like is sitting there. John mentioned in the past they've traded back because they didn't have a first-round grade on guys. If they we're picking in the mid 20's, they probably would try to get out. But pick 16 is kind of the sweet spot. As there will likely be some guys that fall to them.

Guys like Murphy, Fautanu, or Fuaga could still be available. Too good to pass up. I still would choose to stick & pick if an impact guy like that is there.

If you trade back you might only get a third rounder in return. That isn't enough value for me to move back. I would want at least a 2nd.

I know his philosophy is just best available if they make the grade, but is Edge a need for us? I thought Mafe and Nwosu were great when healthy. run d and linebacker play was less than stellar.

They could really use another guy at edge. When Nwosu went down, they had no depth. Adding another would keep everyone fresh as well. By keeping a rotation of guys. You can't play Darrell Taylor on run downs. He's a DPR only. A player like Verse is kind of the best of both. Very good defending the run. It would make a ton of sense if he was the pick.

If you want someone who can wreck the game by rushing the passer & also set the edge. Verse is your guy.
