I think we are personally going to trade back a fair few of our picks this year in anticipation of next years much deeper draft.
There seems to be added value of 'right now' picks for teams with lots of immediate needs so trading this years 3rd for next years 2nd is totally doable. Do that with the right team and you can 'almost' jump up two picks with one trade.
We have a total of 7 starters currently on IR that should all be set to go for next year, that's a WHOLE draft selection so I really don't think our depth issues are as much as a problem as we're sometimes making out. Granted, injuries will inevitably happen again this coming season so we do need to be aware of that but it's not as if we'd trade all 11 of our picks this year.
We could very easily end up with 5 picks in the top 100 for the 2016 draft with 13/14/15 overall picks in various rounds, again, being the team with the most amount of selections in the NFL.
Opinions?
