You also can't assume that drafting a player at 13 will be better than one at 23 or 33.
I think Reagor, Aiyuk, and Mims aren't that far off from the top 3.
If we're targeting a OT then I agree we shouldn't trade down.
Every draft is different and I believe in Lynch and KS to identify where they can maximize value by trading down.
And of any draft I can remember... this might be the best talent from picks say 30-60 and right now we don't have squat.
No doubt you can't assume, you can use odds and projections though. There's a reason certain guys are higher on big boards. Less risk, less bust potential etc. that's just how it is.
I think there's a good drop from the top 3 WRs. I will disagree with that take.
I do agree there's some quality talent to be had from 2nd-4th..they can still get a difference maker at 13 and use that 31st pick to move down multiple times.
So it's okay for you to assume (using odds and projections) that player taken at 13 will be an impact player.
But it's not okay for me to assume that (using odds and projections) we could trade down and draft quality starters in the second round?
Sounds like we're both projecting value... so I genuinely don't understand your point. Other than you have your own preferences as do I.
