I was totally on board with that thought a few weeks ago.
I wanted a guard #1, but a few things changed my mind.
Orakpo is gone. If we dont replace him with a high caliber edge guy then the opponent double teams Kerrigan and we have no pass rush on either edge.

That means our offense plays catch up for the whole game.
And we suck at catch up.

Although having said that I would support a trade down if we get a substantial amount of picks for it.
