If they had heavily invested in the O line in free agency it would have still been stupid to take a rb at 6. But considering the shit line it appears they are going to trot out next season, taking a rb at 6 would be criminally stupid.

In Peter King’s last two columns, he’s said that Ballard is looking to trade down from 6 for even more picks. I’ll be upset if Chubb is there and he moves out.

He won't trade out of 6 if Chubb is there, that would insanely stupid.

Ballard even mentioned that it would be hard to move back further if the player they want is available at 6.

I'd like to see them get Chubb, then in round 2 maybe McGlinchy and a CB like Oliver.

Probably need to move back into 20-25 to get McGlinchy.

Which they should be doing, but for one of the LBs that won't make it past the end of the first round.

To me this signals that they're likely Chubb or bust at 6.

They couldn't go into the draft without any free agents on the o-line or their hand may be forced. This gives them more freedom, but if Chubb is gone and Nelson is still there, you have to strongly consider it. That would be solidifying that position for sure, which they still really don't know otherwise if it is. I wouldn't consider Slausen or Mewhort as definitely solidifying it. It's taking some shots, but who knows if they work out or can stay healthy at all.
