The costs of moving up to #3-4 are so prohibitive that I don't think any team has the balls to move up to draft a FS.
A QB? Sure. Barkely? Maybe. But any team that traded up that far, giving up a fortune, would be roasted by their fan base for anything less than a skill position.
We need QB, FS, WR, RB, CB in next year’s draft and with the fact Minkah may be the only true FS with drafting on Day 1 (James is considered better at SS than FS but can play either position). If we sign Cousins then without a doubt we can get Minkah, but otherwise we are going to draft a QB in the first round. We need to go for elite talent next season not have just more draft picks and hope they work. Next season is an all in type of year so don’t be surprised if we trade our 19 1st or 2nd round in this draft to move up.
My guess is with all of our assets, we will have three first round picks, QB, Minkah and a WR in the first round, and second round we will continue getting offensive skill players/BPA since there is a lot of RBs and WRs available. If Rosen/Mayfield is our number one guy and Minkah is number 2 we need to get them both. The Fan base won’t care what we do with the Texans pick as long as we get a QB like Cousins or draft a guy with the 1st pick. If we come out of the first round with a QB and the top WR, anything else is irrelevant.
Hence why getting someone like Cousins is the best move since now, we can get Minkah, Barkley and Sutton/Washington in the first round. If a guy like Jackson or Allen is available in round 2 then we pick him up as well and develop Kizer and him behind Cousin since you can never have too much talent. If we don’t sign Cousins then we do limit our options, but a QB and FS are a must in the first round for me and if I have to trade up for the best WR in the draft then I am doing it. I don’t care to keep Louis or Higgins. This is irrelevant to me at the end of the day especially if Gordon stays clean and we sign a Matthews to be a possession receiver for us. Gordon, Coleman, Matthews, Washington/Sutton and winner of last spot (maybe draft Cobbs in the second round) will make our team fearsome there lol
