How would you guys react if we traded our 1st, 2nd and two 7th's for DE Chris Long? I'm not expecting this to happen, but a friend of mine said he heard that rumor from someone. There are always rumors, and I don't beleive it at all, but I thought I'd ask and see what you guys thought. I'm 99.99999% sure that wouldn't happen.

With those 4 picks the highest you could go would be the #11 spot, and I seriously doubt that Chris Long will be there at 11.

Again according to the NFL Draft Value chart, the #21 is worth 945, your second rounder pick is worth 380, the first 7th rounder is only worth 6.2. The last 7th round pick is #35 in the 7th is has zero value. Besides it is a comp pick and teams cannot trade those. So total value of the 3 eligible picks is 1331.2. To get into the top 5 you would need at LEAST 1,675.

So the highest you could go to trade up in the first with the picks you mentioned is around the #11 spot.
