I think you are right. I can see the jets taking because there LB are nre not 14 types and to beat NE to him. Though a QB from the east coast and use to the weather would be tempting. But I think they are not going that route.
NE will pick who ever they want they do not care about rankings. CB is a big need as well as LB. They may end up addressing LB through FA. As usual.
Then you have the bengals. They will snatch him up.
That leaves us with the seconds of everything. Key trade down position. How far depends on who we go after. At this point we can pray for a player to drop or trade back and collect picks so we can address more positions on the field.
Me, I would be open to trading all the way back to dallas at 22. No lower. Cap room would be a benefit as well as getting good picks and or players to boot.
Target at 22:
Aquib Talib, 6 - 2, 193, 4.45, Kansas
or
Justin King, 6-0, 186, 4.34, CB Penn State Jr.
I think the end of round 2 could be a Key location this year. Some gambles there look pretty good. Picking up an additional 4th would help us move around on day 2 when the third round starts.
