Last year the Cleveland Browns, yes the Browns, had a great draft. Joe Thomas early in the first, then they traded a few picks for Brady Quinn. I'm not praising Quinn, I think he'll suck.
I'm saying that if both DTs are taken, which it looks like is shaping up to happen, we need to draft the best corner available. I hope that CB is DRC; give him 2 seasons without major injury and he will be top 5 best in the league; a turnover machine.
Which brings me to my main point. Why not trade for a later 1st round pick. I dont think Rivers will get much interest from teams until about pick 16 by the Cardinals. We could possibly give next years 2nd and this years 5th and 3rd. I think that would be sufficent. And in round 2 we should get DT Trevor Laws.
I think with those three in our first two rounds, our defense is set for years. And if Ellis or Dorsey are available at pick 10 and the FO would rather them instead of DRC; they are the pros. But I still think a trade to get us a later pick in the 1st would be smart. Maybe for a CB and worry about LB in round 2. I don't know who will be available or up for a trade but if it could get done it would be good for years.
