I think if Minnesota can't trade down, a WRer is going to be the pick. I think that position will be the BPA at #12. And Thielen will be 32 years old before the season starts. I know what KAM said about McCardell saying don't take a WRer and being unselfish, etc. but if there was ever a smokescreen being put out there, that was it.

Everything seems to scream trade down. And I think they'll find a buyer. But I agree that WR could have the most value at 12 if they can't. The question is, will they take one? Seems unlikely to me.

I think Geoff has it right and they leapfrog Washington and get one of the DBs.

I agree it has merit. I think KAM's philosophy is to move up for the right value. It just depends if the compensation isn't overvalued to make the play.

I've always had the theory if you are going to spend picks or players to get 1 player....he better be damn special.  If/when KAM moves up for. player ,   that player gets held to a higher standard when evaluating the GM IMO.  If he moves up it better be a solid pick,  not a bunch of question marks.
