Since the Fuher has spoken and we wont be getting our 2nd rounder back, I am starting to warm up to the idea of trading back.
At first, I didnt like the idea because we rarely get an opportunity to draft in the top half of the draft, add in the fact that this draft is loaded with D-Line talent and that is one of our biggest needs, I would not want to pass up an opportunity on a true BLUE CHIP player. Blue chip meaning Pro-bowl, all-pro, great player! And I still feel that way, if a guy is there that we feel will be an absolute game changer on defense, we need to take him.
But if not, I dont have a problem with trading down. Looking at the draft chart, we should be able to trade down to atleast 19, and gain 2nd rounder. If there still a good bit of D-Line talent on the board, why not.
Guys like Okafor, Moore, Ansah, and even Jarvis Jones could still be availabe in that area.
I normally wouldnt care about a 2nd round pick much, but being that we are coming off the worst defense in history and making a scheme change, we need as many quality picks as possible. We have needs at LB, DL, CB and S. Some needs are greater than others but I would love to snatch a ball hawking safety or strong press corner.
