I know, it's not my choice, and many don't agree, but I really think we should trade up in this draft, if we're sconsiering going anything but WR.
First of all, this draft is deep..however, we don't have a 2nd round pick, and the top 10 talent in this draft is phenominal. After that, there's a lot of potential, however you won't find players taht wet your mouth like the top few talents.
Looking at OL, Andrews and Gallery seem to be the only 2 worth taking with a first. All others are 2nd rounders any other year at best, so taking them low first is severly over paying ofr them. We need OL, but we can get young potential via FA that certainly don't cost us a first round pick.
I've heard the trading down ideas, but does that seem really smart considering the WR's in this draft? I'm not a huge fan of taking a WR this year since we got boston, but I wouldn't pass one up (clayton) if he was there, just to trade down to get project O-linemen.
Fact of the matter is guys, OL talent is scarce this year. No need to reach, or pass up good players to trade down for OL with "potential". Potential is cheap, and can be had in later rounds if need be, or via FA if we continuet o deal.
However, moving up could net us a rare safety damn near sure fire hit, one of 3 QB"s oozing with franchise potential, MAYBE an OL in Andrews if we don't jum,p far (not a huge fan, too many ?'s on him), a future franchise tackle with tait, etc.
Never seen this man "sure thins" in a draft. Nothings a sure thing, but I've never felt better about a tackle since Pace was drafted, better about a QB in my loife (can't go wrong with Eli or Rivers), etc. etc.
Either we should trade up, or sit and take BPA. No trading down for OL. Say for instance, we do trade up, and don't see someone that wets our whistle, THEN we can trade down, but reasonbly, and still have control of who we get to an extent. Nothings a sure fire way, but damn this tdraft is looking good, I just hope we don't drop to reach for OL.
