We can get another draft pick by trading JC or we can trade a 2011 pick for a pick this year if someone good falls in the draft but we must have a top notch LT from somewhere to get the production we need on offense.

If Okung is gone at #4, then I agree that trading down might be a good thing to do but if he's there I believe we need to take him.

yea, the most important person in the draft for us is OKUNG. But if he is not available then perhaps the prudent move is to just go ahead and take Trent Williams because tackle is a CRITICAL need. We cannot draft a project.

Although I suppose we could always trade for somebody's left tackle and a draft pick for our #4 pick if Bradford was available. I just don't know if Buffalo or Cleveland or Seattle have a left tackle that we might want.
