I did not want to start a new thread for this but thought it might have escaped some peoples notice. Todd McShay released his second Mock draft yesterday and he had the following picks:

1) Luck - Indy
2)Kalil - StL
3)Reiff - Min
4)RGIII - Cleve
5)Claiborne - TB

This would leave Blackmon on the board when we pick. Now if we could stay at 6 and get Blackmon (unlikely in my mind as I don't see Reiff being a #3 pick) then I would prefer that to trading multiple high round picks and players (like Orakpo) to move up 5 spots to grab RGIII. This is just my opinion but even though he is wildly talented, I don't see RGIII as a sure thing due to size, his durability, the fact that he played behind a really amazing Oline in college and the fact that he has really only played at a very high level for one year.

If we could get Peyton in FA and draft Blackmon in the first a CB or Oline in the 2nd and Weedon (or someone to develop behind Peyton)in the 3rd or 4th then I would say we come out of this draft a FAR better team then we would if we made a trade involving picks and Orakpo and came away with RGIII or Bradford.
