On the surface it sounds tempting, but as someone else pointed out, those are all late picks in each draft. Plus you have to consider our record in selecting players in the middle rounds of the draft that have amounted to anything.

If there was a shot at one of the top guys for the D-line at #21 (and by that I mean Branch, Okoye, Carriker, Jamaal Anderson or Gaines Adams), then I would take that deal and run. Problem is that none of these guys will last that long -- and we would still have big question marks with our front four.

Our ability to bolster the defensive line, even if it means doing it with just one player this year, trumps picking up additional picks in the late rounds.
