I don't like the trade

So you're saying that any rookie coming in is not going to be an impact player because he is inexperienced? Then by your reasoning Brandon Cooks is not going to do anything either.
I'm warning you if we don't do something about the offensive line, we are going nowhere. You cannot hope to go through a season without an injury on the o-line. So not only do have to have five good starters, but at least two if not three backups.

Sean will address any need we have on O line-trust me. We have the oldest offense in the NFL. We need young playmakers. The only defensive players I would have traded up for or picked in our spot is Clowney,Gilbert,Mack,orMosley. An explosive wr was a good choice and I doubt he would have made it to 27.

Agreed, and it was rumored that Green Bay wanted him at 21, and Carolina could have easily jumped us for him if we just stayed put.

Way too many variables for any kind of accurate hindsight.

That's not what I said. You're assuming way too much. We could have stayed at 27 and took a center. But us taking position of need doesn't make it a good pick. The Vikings needed a linebacker, but I wouldn't have taken dude at 8 regardless. Not to mention receiver was a position of need anyway. We took a chance on a guy we believe in. Nothing wrong with that.
