I think they'd prefer to stay put and take Cosmi in a normal year where they wouldn't have to start him at LT right away. But that's not an option with our current roster.

I also think they'd prefer to stay put and take Liam Eichenberg, who you can plug in right now but would have a lower ceiling (and less of a stylistic fit) than Cosmi, but Eichenberg's just too valuable as a surefire 10-year competent starter at LT. They'd have to trade up a few slots to get him.

Veach was hyperaggressive in trying to get Trent Williams. So I think trading up 6 spots or so to get Eichenberg just isn't his style.

Trading up 10-15 spots, however, to get Christian Darrisaw, who you could start right away and provides you Pro Bowl or All Pro potential and would be a perfect scheme fit? That's the kind of swing-for-the-fenches move that, to me, sounds like vintage Brett Veach.

I think we trade up for Darrisaw, but it's going to cost us.

The problem with trading up far enough to get Darrisaw is you'd probably have to get to 12 or so. Going from 31 to 12 is gonna be....pricey.

27 to 10 cost us two firsts and a third. So you’re looking at that as a minimum. Dude better ****ing be worth it.

If they were giving up a first that was gonna be in the teens or something, I'd be alot more hesitant. But they're gonna be in the AFC champ game again, atleast barring injuries.

Those players you're picking at the end of the first are usually 2nd round type prospects anyway, similar to what we're looking at this year. So if that pick can get you a franchise LT, do it.

Whether the guy they trade up for is that or not, who knows.

I think Sewell and Slater are both gone by the Chargers pick. Darrisaw might be there in the late teens and that’s when we should strike bc he isn’t going to be there after Miami at 18.

Miami sure does love stockpiling picks, plus they have a top 10 pick already, so if we want to trade for Darrisaw that’s probably the sweet spot.

Probably cost this years first, next years first, a 3rd and we can probably toss in our extra 4th this year

Is the difference between Darrisaw and the guys available at 31 (Eichenberg, Leatherwood, Cosmi, Radunz - whoever it may be) worth giving all of that up? I don't know these college players so I'm just curious.

And that’s the shitty thing. You can’t guarantee it’s a pick in the 30s. Something happens and all of a sudden we’ve given up a first in the top 15 picks. And hopefully Darrisaw wasn’t the reason why we were picking high.
