Absolutely. While I think we can turn this around in one season to a respectable record (because of new coaching, Biscuit in year 2), this is not a team that is only one player away from making sure that happens.
If we get a pick in that 4th to 9th range and can sell it for Buffalo's two first rounders I would take that and run.
I have come to love the hand-wringing that comes along with a mid-first round pick. because we arent picking a player who's a consensus top five it's always "NOBODY IS WORTH PICKING THIS HIGH, I'LL BE PISSED IF WE DONT TRADE DOWN."
ALWAYS.
And then we dont trade down, and then everyone on the forum gets to tell us about the incredible draft pick haul they would have gotten if they were GM. It's like clockwork.

If the 8 in front of them include:
all 3-5 top QBs
Barkley
Key & Chubb
then what?
No big trade bait.
No stud edge rusher.
No WR that screams for a top 10 pick.
Trading down with Buffalo sounds like a plan B - except why would they trade up, with the QBs picked clean?
Some of this depends on what scheme we'll have under a new HC.
Keeping in mind that I feel day 1 picks should be BPA; in that scenario (assuming no trade downs) would be Derwin James (I really like him and would love to pair him up with Jackson.).
Then there's Christian Wilkins, Harold Landry, and Tarvarus McFadden.
I personally would lean towards James or McFadden and I don't know which one of those two I'd pick at that time.
According to Tankathon, SoS can't change enough to get us past TB, so we're set at 8

Ugh. That fu***** Bengals game. Those meaningless wins....
Whatever. We're #8. There will be good players available there and if we're lucky a trade opportunity.
