Avila was like the 3rd guy off the board in round 2 almost a 1st rounder
Not a 3rd rounder
After the way Avila played he clearly should have been a 1st round pick.

In the mock above I did, I think Braden Fiske would be highest ranked player available…
Dan Brugler mocks him to us
Trading double down to Texans 86
Still has Kiran OT, Trice DE, Ruke DT, Green CB, Rice WR … just missing out on Polk & Nubin

If the mock fell like that I would definitely give something to trade up a few spots for Franklin.
He’s actually my favorite of the developmental edge guys, has a lot of things that can’t be taught (was a safety when he first started college). But he will take some development.
IMO Brad trades UP for one of the top remaining interior OL, and if he can’t get that done, he trades down to pick up another Day 3 pick or two. So my official prediction for Day 2 if the draft falls like this is Jackson Powers Johnson or NOTHING.

AMENDMENT: JPJ or Zach Frazier or NOTHING. (I learned my lesson when I flipped a coin in the “who will the Lions trade up for” thread, instead of being lame and saying Mitchell or Arnold. Lame for life!)

You had me at JPJ, you lost me at Zach Frazier.
I’m going for mass appeal over here. Gotta squeeze in as many names as I can.

i think Washington is an interesting trade back option at #61. They have a lot of picks and I could see them being aggressive today.
#78 and #100 for #61.

I think Branden Fiske would be intriguing in that scenario next to Hutch.
I also like Mason McCormick there.
Edge Cooper, Adonai Mitchell, and Troy Franklin would be tantalizingly close though in that scenario. Seems like a small trade could do it.
I would love that, depending upon the time-space continuum…
