I don't know why you take a player like Ginn with the 6th pick? Or try to move a lightweight like him to safety???????????

See your problem is like many you seem to be stuck on the fact that you have to draft a lineman because of need regardless if he has NFL ability to be a big difference maker.

So I guess we draft Adams and field 2 undersized D-lineman who will get man handled at the line of scrimmage, instead of just Carter being thrown around by TE's. Funny here we are addressing a pass rusher again this year, but correct me if I am wrong wasn't this addressed last off season? And there you have it signing or drafting players out of need rather than actual ability can become very repetitive, and expensive. In other words we may winde up with an average NFL lineman who's production wouldn't be much different than most other NFL lineman, rather than a real stud to pair with Taylor. And yes we should be able to trade down a bit recoupe some picks or pick and still get him.

And correct me if I am wrong again at last glance we do have a big need at safety, enough so that last season we handed out the biggest contract ever for a safety to pair with Taylor, now that AA is gone and we are back to square one I am to believe that the safety position is no longer that important?

And if we are able to trade down and get both Landry and a #2 that should allow us to either make a move or sit tight and grab either Moss, Blalock, or Grubbs, filling 2 needs instead of 1. Give that scenerio every time!
