It comes down to QB and then rounds 2-4. If the QB's are worth it they'll go early. At 4 we would have a shot at the 2nd QB unless someone like SF leap frogs us. If we draft 7 or 8 and a QB is still on the board getting past SF with no one trading up for one, then odds whichever QB it is that drops didn't have a good showing in the combine and workouts and might not be a good choice for us at #8. I would feel better though about Smith or Jack or even Treadway at 8 than in the top 5.I'm not really that concerned whether we pick 4th, 6th, 8th or whatever. I won't be rooting for us to lose but I also won't be enthused with a win at all, I'll just passively watch and see what happens.
Sure, I want to pick higher than not, but if we don't go QB taking a guy like Smith or Jack at 7 instead of 3 or 4 would take some of the sting out of it. I also think Wentz may rocket up draft boards depending on the Senior Bowl so we could still be in a position to go QB at the back end of the top 10.
What we would really be missing out on at 8 as opposed to 4 would be the trade down potential (which is overexaggerated honestly, how many teams have been able to reap a significant bounty via a trade down in the top 5-10 in the past 10 years?) and the fact that we would more or less be guaranteed a shot at a QB, although I don't think it's a 100% given lock that both guys are gone in the top 5, one of them could be there at 6 or 7, were we to drop that far.
It may not be a huge deal so I'm not going to actively root for us to lose, but won't mind if we do. But I'd hate to drop to 8 and then have both Lynch and Goff pan out and we missed out due to a meaningless finale win.
