Do I need to pull out a highlighter for you today?
I said you "
usually" have to get into the top 20. I think you would agree with that.
Now, if there are a couple of prospects who some NFL guys see as much better than the media armchair GMs then there will probably be some meeting in the middle, and we'd have to move up for one, but maybe not into the top 20.
I was the original guy to suggest the Vikings-Chiefs pick swap in a mock and move up to 24. I think 24 is reasonable. It's getting Christian Darrisaw value. Will one of Banks or Conerly be there? I think it looks probable. Will they be there at 31? I don't think so. Positional value is too strong, and some other teams
need LTs as well.
All I've said about moving above 24 is that it would likely need to be to 19, and that's a big move for Tampa to make. Denver at 20 and LA at 22 aren't going to trade with us, probably. Pittsburgh doesn't really ever trade down, and they sit at 21. Green Bay doesn't either, and they are at 23. If Veach felt he had to get that high for one of these guys, that's something I'd support him doing but not champion for.
Other guys are talking about trading 1sts and 2nds and moving way up. I just don't see that as a thing. Those aren't my words.
