I’m not a fan of burning premium picks to trade up. It’s not where you select a player, it’s who you select. Watt went at the end of the first round, Chris Jones was in the 2nd, Hendrickson was a 3rd rounder, etc.
Trading up guarantees nothing and if it’s a miss, you just compounded the problem by giving up the chance to draft another difference maker. We’ve gotta get the pick right. Beane has had his chances at additional blue chip players.
