Trample - have not started to look too much into the draft yet but my take is I hope the skins continue last years approach and focus more on the draft and trading down to acquire multiple draft picks. My take is I would rather the team build their offensive and defensive lines via the draft than trying to "buy" the high price players - we need youth and getting someone with too many years of experience - especially along the defensive end position where speed comes into play would be a risk. Plus if we stockpile multiple picks and draft many lineman a couple will probably pan out - especially if you can get them in round 2 and down. This would help the Skins inject youth on the lines which is needed and as an added bonus if the draft pick is round 2 and down it also helps immensely with the cap. As an example look at Derrick Dockery - a 3rd round pick who did the job and was not grossly overpaid for his years of service here - than Buffalo grossly overpaid for him to shore up their line.
