Last few years aren't the best, but from '03-'12 you had
13 - Ty Warren
21 - Vince Wilfork
32 - Logan Mankins
21 - Laurence Maroney
24 - Brandon Meriwether
10 - Jerod Mayo
27 - Devin McCourty
17 - Nate Solder
21 - Chandler Jones
27 - Donta Hightower
I'd rather keep the picks & see who falls to 10-12, then maybe jump up there.

Exactly, though it's not so much "why trade up" but "why give up more than the 49ers did to go to 3?" 3 1st's a 2nd & a 3rd for a guy who could very well be there at 10-12 would be idiotic. Detroit sure ain't selling anyone they want to pick a QB, they can say what they want, but if Carolina picks a QB at 8 after trading a 2nd/4th/6th for Sam Darnold Tepper should be forced to sell the team on the spot, so that leaves Denver if they're sold on Drew Lock not being the guy & teams like Washington or maybe Pittsburgh who could trade up & jump New England.
