Time will tell what team general manager Howie Roseman comes up with because we know he wants to move up in the draft.
"They could trade with Detroit Lions at number 7, but that would take a number 1 pick, giving away the pick that they got to move down to number 12. A little misguided, so they may have to sit at number 12 and take the best player available," Paolantonio said.
Watch the NFL Draft starting Thursday at 8 p.m. on 6abc.
