Hear hear! If and when we upgrade FS, then I'll vote for that as the one position to make the most impact.

Talbid is the FS in round 1, IMO. Then Carlson followed by Phillips. This year draft is loaded with tweeners.

I've heard others talking about moving Talbid over, saying he'd be a good fit at FS. But I haven't watched any of his play myself, and so I can't say. I trust your read on it though.

Realistically, do you think we have a good chance of trading down? Personally, I think we're in perfect position. I know teams sometimes shy away from the top 10 picks, because of the risk associated with such costly contracts, and the massive hits to salary caps. But I think at about 10, things start to be come more manageable, teams become more willing, so we might be able to pull this trade off.

So I'm thinking -
1) trade down in the first round towards the bottom, and use that pick to get Phillips. KK stays as a backup, but Bullocks gets put on the trading block.
2) use the additional pick to get a replacement for Shanle.

Doing so would solve the two worst problems on the team (IMO), but still leave us with 2nd and 3rd rounders to draft best available talent.

Fantasy land?
