I was thinking we should pull a trade like this but I think the cap penalty we have us to resort to picking up more quantity over quality.

Could we swing a pre draft trade for an early second, use it as trade bait for a later round second and third? I really like the idea of accumulating picks still.

We had 12 draft picks last year. We need quality starters, not more backups.

Those 12 picks were all rookies. Some guys turn into starters over time. 5 were starter worthy last year and more could turn out to be starters.

I seriously doubt that the cap penalty would change the dynamic of taking 1 2nd round player vs 2 or 3 lower round players. The difference in combined cap hits would be minimal.
