nelson on the board at #19 would have been a great time to pull the trigger, the best S/CB in the draft would go along way to fill holes in the secondary, 680 to 875 is 195 pts or the 179th pick in the third round. Henderson alone may have been enough to get the titians to bite. think about it you have a #3 CB that can step in an play S from day one. If harper does not come back he is your starter. You never know he could become M&M replacement as the #2 CB, God knows he has the talent. I would have pulled the trigger. Now we have teams picking that need secondary help. the level of talent is going to drop quickly.

Maybe we should trade down then. If it means the difference between a great fit, or good fit, then I say why not.

good point who would want to trade up? first in mind would be the chargers.
They need
Safety - Terrence Kiel is simply not a good player. A playmaker at strong safety is the final thing this defense needs to become elite.

Inside Linebacker - Donnie Edwards will likely be gone this off-season, and Randall Godfrey is near the end of his career. A speedy middle linebacker would be a nice addition to the rotation.

Interior Offensive Line - Depth in the middle of the offensive line is currently lacking.

Wide Receiver - San Diego currently has a solid corps group, but could use a speedy player to stretch the field.

Defensive Tackle - Jamal Williams is the best in the business, but the Chargers have no big guy behind him

so at 27 who would they go after

1 Robert Meachem, WR Tennessee
2 Sidney Rice, WR South Carolina
3 Dwayne Bowe, WR LSU
4 Anthony Gonzalez, WR Ohio State
5 Michael Griffin, S Texas 11 3.4
6 Daymeion Hughes, CB California
7 Justin Blalock, OG Texas

alot would depend on NE first pick at 24 since they both have the same needs. IMO

the jump is only 60 pts. so a 4th (126 46pts) and a 6th (190 15.4 ) would do it.

but who would we go after?
DT Quinn Pitcock
OT Aaron Sears
TE Miller or Olson
who?

I'm for trading down... for a 2nd this year and a 2nd next year. You damn right I'm greedy.

I'll settle for a 2nd and 3rd this year though. 8)

how about Blye in a trade with detriot?
we get blye
swap our 2nd for their 3rd
swap fourth
give a 6th

We need a CB and that's what we'll pick unless Payton picks a good one up in FA and if he does it we will should pick the best DT available. Either way we fill a big need. I just think if we get our secondary tight and fill the hole on the defensive line our linebackers will only get better.
