Ok, we have all talked about our desire to trade down and pick up additional picks. Which I'm all for BTW!

But how many would be in favor of trading up to get the once in a lifetime talent of Myles Garrett?

What would it take to do so? At least this years 1st and next years 1st at a minimum, I would expect. But how much more?

How many would be in favor of such a move?

Check the value chart

It would take most of our draft this year and our 1st and 2nd next year likely. That is pretty steep. There is a lot of defensive talent in this draft. If we could figure out somehow to get another 2nd and 3rd this draft or even two more 3rds, we could completely rebuild the D in one draft.

The way I kind of picture him is inside for two downs and outside for passing downs. But he would give you the option of blitzing him from virtually anywhere. But him out there with a dedicated EDGE and then you really start causing problems. Will he cover the TE or RB and do it very well? Or is he coming on a blitz? But as a dedicated EDGE, I don't know. He has great bend, but he will have problems with long armed tackles, he is just so short for that position. I would rather combine him with a Harris, Rivers, Watt, or Bowser. That could be a deadly combo.

Also, Foster is an excellent blitzer from between the tackles.

I do think Reddick is smart and has great character and that will play a role. Ballard is reading about the Cubs build by Epstein and this quote seemed to have an impact on Ballard.

"Theo -- baseball was getting flat in terms of the analytics and the edge that they were getting from the numbers -- so he kind of took a different approach with character," Ballard said, via ESPN's Mike Wells. "We want high-character guys that love football, that will hold each other accountable, that will be good teammates. It stuck out like a beacon light.

Do they figure he will be involved in a murder?

Trade from 1-15 to 1-19 and then from 1-19 to about 1-24 or 1-25 nets you 2 3rd round choices with trading nothing away.

I'll take the Ray Lewis type as in murdering the opponent on the field, off the field perhaps not as much lol

0%. It would cost way too much and there are so many needs across the roster.
