Let me pose this question then Guido... would you consider it prudent then to be aggressive and trade up for guys we feel confident can contribute right away? I feel like the prevailing thought this year has been that we have holes and need as many draft picks as possible so DON’T trade up.

Personally, I want to win and I really only see holes at CB and LB. If we can get the best of the best at those positions then let’s do it.

WRz, TEh, LG, C, and if we have a QB1 in-house...

I think you underestimate Tre’Quan Smith as a Z receiver. He was fantastic in that role in college and then came to a team that didn’t throw it deep. His stock is soaring in my mind with a new QB.

We don’t need O-Line. I know you guys are eager to run off Armstead but he isn’t going anywhere and nor should he. 12 games of Armstead is better than not having Armstead. He’s one of the best in the league. Peat ain’t going anywhere. Ruiz should be making the switch the center.

May be, but the sample we've seen, Tre'quan runs like the old man, Nate Scarbourough, in The Longest Yard (The Original)...
