Do not trade #2

Truth!

And those two, Bosa & QWill< are the only 2 Blue Chip guys in the draft.

If everyone were available in the NFL who would you guys trade for with the 2nd pick?

Mahomes or Luck

But would the GMen take our 2nd round pick 34 overall for OBJ ? I could see him having a rough offseason and wearing out his welcome in NY and that 2nd round pick seem a lot for him. We gave up TO for much less, but we were in cap hell, had Donahue, and I think TO was on his last year.

Track record for "superstar" is a bit sketchy drafting in the top 2 picks...

I don't care if we trade the pick or not. As long as Lynch and Co hit on their picks, that's all that matters.

We can't adford to have another draft (1st round) like 2017. You have to hit on your 1st rounders to stand a chance building a roster through the draft.

If the Cards don't trade out of the #1 position, don't be surprised if Lynch trades down. He's only got 5 picks...not like the last couple of drafts where he had lots of 'em. If he doesn't acquire more picks another way, he could get an opportunity in the draft which he just might take. I get taking a topflight pass rusher's a big deal...but there's a lot of other holes to fill, as well. I'd love to see Josh Allen in crimson & gold...but making more improvements to the roster might be more important to Lynch & Shanahan.

It's so hard to tell in the draft. I know Solomon Thomas isn't doing so great, but the 2017 draft isn't looking so great.

It almost might be better to trade down if possible we still have a lot of holes and we are lacking depth at some positions

DE / OLB - We need position so badly but is Josh Allen that guy? Is he the clear cut number 2? We might need to take 2 DE's / OLBS
Guard / Tackle - We need a guy like Conor williams who can play G or T. We don't have a lot depth, and our line needs to get better
WR - A dynamic #2 - possibly with Size
C - A shutdown corner (Tavarius Moore hopefully can push Witherspoon)
ILB - It would be nice to find another LB to pair with Warner

Im open to trade pick deuce for more picks butt not interested in dropping out of the top 5. We need Bosa, quinnen, Allen , or Ferrell .

As it stands right now, I really want Quinnen Williams. However, if we could trade back a few spots and pick up say an additional late 2nd or early 3rd and still nab Josh Allen, I'd be fine with that.

Well my next mock is a trade down so

We got the greatest tight end in the NFL in the 2017 draft. That makes it a success all alone... Breida and Harris are looking too bad either.

Regardless he still has a point. I'd argue that about 50% of those players are-soon to be-or one day will be superstars. I don't really count the QBs because that position alone moves players up higher than they should be drafted

Is there a player in this draft better than OBJ or A. Brown?

Right now no
But I would not trade #2 for either
