Pre Draft Thread 2.0

[EdmundDorf]

If they love one of the second tier linebacker, like Collins or Bolton, I wonder whether they are thinking about packaging one of their thirds with the second to move up to the top of the second or back end of the first to enable them to take an OT and the LB. I would move up 3-4 places in the first to secure Darrisaw, but I know nothing so they may prefer Jenkins because he has a mean streak

I'd rather trade back and acquire an extra pick or two. There's probably 7-8 starting OTs and 10+ starting LB starters in the top 100. No need to trade up.

I tend to agree, but the quality starting linebacker and OT will be gone by the time we pick in the second, what remains may be serviceable starters, so it is a question would you rather have 2 good quality starters in areas of need or 3-4 average guys..... I don't like to trade up in general but it is a case of what is the best value for the picks you have...... I trust the front office, for now at least, to know more than us and make the right choices
