I wouldn't trade up either. I want Poles to sit tight, take his 2 remaining selections, and keep his powder dry for next years draft when we go all in to contend.
Nope, I would trade up if JPJ falls to a mid 2nd round pick.
I felt some validation last night when JPJ was not seen by the NFL as the best C in this draft. Graham from Duke was the C taken in the 1st round last night. LOL, I was beginning to doubt myself when I just didn't see him as being that good. Good? Sure. But not the best in this draft class. And I don't see him as the best remaining C either. I'd take Frazier from WV as the top remaining C now... he'd be a great fit for the Bears. And I would probably take Van Pran from Georgia over JPJ too.
No question JPJ is a good player though. He'd be my 4th guy at C. And I wouldn't have a fit if he fell to the 3rd or 4th round to us (he probably won't fall that far though).

In all fairness, Barton is a total stud who can literally play all 5 positions. He will be a G or C in the NFL.
