Tough call. We are tight to the cap currently and not really in a position to sign any big contracts. Doing so would require back loading, which is something we just got finished fixing. Plus there are a handful of ILBs in this draft that are expected to be good. On the other hand this is a guy that is a known commodity, and we could bring him in and solidify the position with certainty. We do have the future room to sign him now, and we could rely on him for the next 4-5 yrs.
I lean towards drafting one of the guys with the 2nd rd pick, but could be persuaded to trade for him
Nice summation of the problems caused by trading for him.
I would normally say that the cap will ease up next year because the team will do something with Brees' $27.4M cap hit...but who knows what will ultimately happen with that.
This team has to get starter type players in the draft in order to include cheap labor to offset the upper end contracts. Trading for a guy who is going into a 2nd contract is not what we need.

It's very tough. A lot depends on what he'd go for in second contract as well. Hard to pass up a guy for that kind of pick that would be a defensive pillar for your team going into his prime. Essentially you're hoping that you draft a guy who can become Kendricks. Huge gamble considering this FO hasn't exactly had the best track with LBer position.
Dream scenario would be Mariotta falling and us trading 13 for him and Eagles 1st

You do know we are currently about 20 mil under the projected cap next even with Drew getting 27.4 right?
