What to do with our First round pick?

At 11 I suspect we could still get an excellent D lineman, then we could look for an LB or CB with the 3rd rounder to help add depth and develop young players where we just lost players......
Frankly, I bet we'll end up trading out of the 5 spot and getting a really good deal. I bet it won't happen until draft day, but once the other 4 teams have chosen, there will be someone dying to get our 5th pick and their player of choice. I bet we will end up moving down in the first round and hopefully picking up someones late 2nd or high 3rd in addition to their first....

I'd say wait to trade until the day before the draft...teams get more anxious to trade up the closer you get to the draft.

Also, there is no way I'd take the offer from the Steelers. That is a pathetic offer. Last year the Jets traded the 13th and 25th(?) overall picks for the 4th spot. I don't think that the 11th and a 3rd & 6th rounder come close to compensating us for the #5 overall pick. I wouldn't trade down unless we got offered mid first and second rounders this year and either a 2nd or 3rd round pick next year. We need quality players, but I don't think that this draft is that deep (save at WR) and so a 3rd rounder might not yield sh-t. I'd take Sean Taylor if we can't get a great deal.
