Actually, trading down would be much more cap friendly (depending on the position played by the guy we draft at #5). If we pick a d-lineman at the #5 pick we're looking at a SB of about $11-13 million and a contract averaging between $4-$6 million per year.

If we took Taylor I'm not how much that would cost since I don't have a frame of refernce - no safety has been drafted at #5 in recent memory (if at all).

Trading down to say the #20 pick and getting another 2nd or 3rd rounder would be nice and easy on the cap since the difference in salary between a #5 pick and a #20 pick is outrageous given that the talent level is not immensely different. A second or third round rookie contract wouldn't cost much at all.

with some trades going on, does anyone know what teams have the first couple picks in the second round? I ask because if any of these mock drafts are close to being accurate, grove will be gone by around pick 5 in the second round. is there anyone we could trade with to still get a first rounder plus one of those picks in the 2nd? the only way I see us getting a decent 2nd round pick is if we trade down in the first round from our spot and then trade down again completely out of the first round with one of the teams who had a top four pick and get their 2nd,3rd, and 4th/5th rounders. either way I agree with a lot of you and think our cap space is going to dictate that we have to trade down atleast once if not twice.
