Great trade back. Got a 4th and 5th. Fulton, Johnson and Gladney all still there

Not a bad haul for only dropping 6 places, especially, I assume, since there wasn't anyone there they really wanted anyway,

I thought the 9ers have no picks?

31 and 32 are also good picks to look at trading back again. I hope they do it!

It's poor value to move back 6 spots in the first and only get a 4th and a very late 5th or early 6th. We must have a lot of players rated equally. I don't think we make this trade if we want Jones.

Jones is not a first round T in my opinion.

No I think there definitely was but they move back 6 spots and 3 top corners on the board. Should be able to land who we want plus gain a 4th and 5th

Never seemed like he had trouble getting separation. You know he can push off in the first five yards. That's a skill.
