Hypothetical trade down discussion

First, I am not a proponent of this. I've been on the Wentz/Goff bandwagon and believe we should take one of them (if available) at 4. In fact if they are convinced that one is considerably better than the other, they should pursue a trade up ahead of the Browns to ensure they get that guy.

That said, lets say Wentz goes at 2 to Browns, leaving Goff for us. For whatever reason, the Cowboys decide they are only lukewarm on Goff and the Rams call, wanting him badly. The trade chart (http://www.ourlads.com/nfldraftvalue/) says pick 4 is valued at 1800, the Rams 1st and 2nd rd picks are (15= 1050 pts, 43= 470, 45=450). Theoretically they'd have to offer at least that to get into our spot. (To make the pts whole, we might have to throw them a late rd pick in return, though I doubt it if the QB is involved. They might even have to throw another late pick of their own in instead) Would you do it, and if so who would you then draft with our 1st (15th overall) and our three 2nd rd picks (34, 43 & 45)

It's hard to predict who would be available but I'd do that trade and since this is a hypothetical situation my picks would look like this:

1. Paxton Lynch
2. Andrew Billings
2. Noah Spence
2. Michael Thomas

I like your picks, didn't want to duplicate though so here's mine:

15: Reggie Ragland MLB Alabama
34: Josh Doctson WR TCU
43: Connor Cook QB Michigan St
45: William Jackson CB Houston

Still haven't changed my mind. I'd use those 2nd's we got from the rams to move back into the first round. Try to leave this draft with at least two first round picks.. possibly 3 if you consider our how high our second rounder is.

I like this except for two things: The Cover 2 rarely uses a Ragland type because it's about lateral speed. Different LB. And second, who is the running back if one is drafted or is it just DMC and a Turbin?

I think Ragland showed at the combine he is a lot more athletic and rangy than people gave him credit for. I believe at the Senior Bowl they even had him line up at OLB some to see him in coverage more.

If we avoid RB early its because we've either signed a veteran to split time with McF or maybe we draft one on Saturday.
