(1) Trading down is not a bad thing in and of itself. Sometimes it might be the right move. Each case must be judged on its own merits.
Suggs was a no-brainer to me. And who they took made it worse.
(2) Yes I believe DG wants to take Fitz, but maybe he doesn't and wants a way out. Who knows.
(3) But if Ben or Eli drop to #3 and you take Fitz or anyone else you lost some value.
The Cards situation is unique they really suck and have a lot of holes so getting 2 good players for 1 good player might not be a bad idea. Remember you are only dropping 4 spots not 11 spots and will still get one of the upper echelon players: Udeze (more reasonable to take him at 7), Taylor (more reasonable to take him at 7), Fitz (he might drop to 7), K Jones more reasonable to take him at 7.
This is why Cleveland getting 7 is interesting you can still get a good player. If Cleve got 8 then I would be less likely to trade down.
And 11 with Pitt for example is too far down imo. Another factor to conisder are all the players coming out if they keep coming out even an extra round 2 pick gains serious value.
Yes I think DG will take Fitz at #3 but maybe he can get him at #7 and even if he doesn't get him at #7 he would still get a good player in the Fitz class. Say a Taylor or Udeze.
I mean Cleveland can make the deal with SD or OAK too. So...
