As I suspected, I could trade down my pick #55 and get a fourth so I had a pick in every round and still had two picks in the second:
TRADE PARTNER:
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
SENT:
ROUND: 2 PICK: 23
RECEIVED:
ROUND: 2 PICK: 25
ROUND: 4 PICK: 36
Using the most recent Fanspeak board and that one trade-down, Here's what I got:
23: R1P23
OL DALTON RISNER
KANSAS STATE
Taylor and Dillard went in the two previous picks making this a choice between Risner and Yosny Cajuste. If you really need someone to try at LT, I'd go with Cajuste but Risner is the safer pick.
54: R2P22
CB AMANI ORUWARIYE
PENN STATE
We're still a man short on CB depth. Oruwariye is solid value at this point.
57: R2P25
QB TYREE JACKSON
BUFFALO
A little earlier than I'd like to take him but this board has him rated highly and I don't think he'd be available at pick #86.
86: R3P22
OT DAVID EDWARDS
WISCONSIN
That's okay. I didn't think Edwards would fall to here so it all worked out.
138: R4P36
WR DAVID SILLS V
WVU
Hunter Renfrow was taken three picks earlier or he would have been my choice. Sills is a very good compliment WR that was Will Grier's go-to guy at West Virginia. Clean routes and good hands.
161: R5P23
RB BENNY SNELL JR.
KENTUCKY
Several RBs to choose from and this guy is my pick from this group. (I've been seeing some higher ratings on him lately). The guy can tote the rock 30 times, catches passes and has enough speed to break out the home run. Go watch his bowl game against Penn State if you want to be impressed.
195: R6P22
LB GARY JOHNSON
TEXAS
I've taken him before in these mocks. A little small but he makes plays and should be a demon on special teams.
220: R7P6
S MARVELL TELL III
USC
We replaced Honey Badger in free agency so safety isn't as big a need with Justin Reid and Andre Hal available. Still, some depth and ST help can't hurt.
As always, your feedback is welcome.
