I actually think we would still go WR in the first even if we did this. I am assuming we don't make a deal like this unless we can get a 3rd or better for Gardner. That gives us picks in 1,3,3,4,6,7 and we trade the 4th for Davis hypothetically giving us picks in 1,3,3,6,7 meaning we've upgraded our 4th to a 3rd and swapped Gardner for Davis. I like Davis better at this point mainly because I dislike Gardner so much.

Still I don't think they make this deal thinking Davis ia the answer. I mean we haven't really done much to improve the WR core this was more of a lateral move in talent for an upgrade in that 4th pick. Going WR in the 1st still makes sense.

Imagine a WR core of
M Williams
L Coles
Jacobs
Davis
Thrash

Compared to
L Coles
Gardner
Jacobs
Thrash
McCants

Thats an upgrade at every spot except the third spot where Jacobs remains adnd will hopefully get better anyways. Sounds like a good plan to me.
