I think we all know that we aren't going to draft 8 players.

Does anyone know the exact amount of times we've traded up in like the last 10 years?

We’ve traded up 24 times the last 16 drafts. That’s obviously total, not just 1st round

3rd and 4th rounds seem to be
very fertile grounds. He can trade into those rounds all he wishes!

This draft is pretty weak at the top, so I'm sure that will be the excuse WHEN we trade up. There are reportedly only like 15-20 1st round grades.

And we have more than 8 holes in the roster yet Loomis just can’t help himself from getting fleeced in a trade up. If there weee a draft to just sit tight and make the best pick at your spot, it’s this one. He will end up giving away next year’s 1st to move up 7 spots.

That's every year.

Every now and then there's a draft with 40 prospects and we historically have still traded up

This is a draft made for trading up in the mid to late rounds. Doesn't mean they necessarily should but it all depends on who falls. Very few super stars in this draft but a lot of border line starter and strong backup talent.

Bjorn Robinson may be a player with the most talent and impact ability yet at a position taken for granted. Kamara is no longer as reliable nor explosive as he was years ago.

Need every last one. It's not like we're one or two players away from the superbowl.

We don’t need 8 rookies. The odds of all 8 even making the team are very small.

Well I know that, but still, we have better hit rates on UDFAs than late round picks

Sounds like we still want to give picks away.. for 1 pick

DUMB!!

We need many Players!! 3 Picks in the top 71

Round 1 - 29
Round 2 - 40
Round 3 - 71

Sound like that Clown Mickey wants to give those away for 1 Player
