Jesus H Christ, and I probably like Simpson more than most.

If we get really lucky some dumb team will reach for him in the top 11 (I know, I know). But, it would be nice.

I've been wondering if we could cajole Arizona into a 3/34 for 12/20/92 swap, that way they wouldn't have to worry about moving up for Simpson and could just take him at 20.

It'd be insane value and would fit our needs in this class so much better.

We'd basically be moving up to 3 for 92 and moving down from 20 to 34, which is a better value for what we need at 34 vs. 20.

I agree but does hurt a little bailing on day two of the draft again.
 
I wouldn't like giving up a pick, but I am more confident in Bailey as a game-changer than Styles, so I'd be okay with it.

A premium pass rusher in free agency (if even available) will cost what 35+ mil? A premium LBer in free agency costs 14 mil? There is a reason why the edge rusher has so much more value, it's just a more impactful position.

Yea and I mean we could always potentially move back from 34 depending on the board and recoup a 3 or early 4.

It'd suck losing that 3 but we'd also be getting a top 2-4 player in the class and better position ourselves for LB at 34.

It doesn't matter how you spin it. I wouldn't want to do it. We would go from picking at 34 to our next pick being 112. Our picks in this draft are scarce enough. I'm not giving up more. Not even for Bailey.

We need both quality and quantity. I'd rather not sacrifice one for the other. I'd rather we just stick to where we are and let the chips fall where they may.

I think we'd be better off with 3 guys than 2. Especially since the draft is at its best in the middle rather than at the top.
 
Nobody is ever going to get called out for saying they want more picks but remember this sort of conversation when we end up taking Thieneman or Faulk at 12 because we sat tight.

Yeah, when I step back and look at the big picture, I wouldn't even mind moving down a little from both 12 and 20 to get extra picks. Can't forget that (whatever the exact numbers are) 25 to 40 is where the value is.

This is going to be hard to type so bear with me. I would rather take Thieneman at 12 than use both of our firsts to go get Bailey.

I hope you're happy making me say that. I hope it haunts you at nights. I hope your milk spoils and you bread goes stale.
