Freak like ability coming off the edge.

considering their offense, they will stick suck on defense, and have done so against the run for a while now. But they're a wierd team they tend to stop one dimensional offenses.

Yeah I've never even considered it an option to get Leonard Williams. Top 3 pick for sure. As long as we land Stephone Anthony with that 31st pick I'll be happy!

I would like to trade down in the early to mid 20's with pick 13 to pick up another 2nd. There are alot of solid players and rotational players to be had from the 20's til the 4th. This draft can be as solid as they get if we draft well.

We should trade all of our draft picks for some early round picks next year and just roll with what we have. Ever been done?

I don't think so but i wouldn't be suprised if it happened. Saints have a history of just given a whole draft for something.

Or maybe they should trade next year's picks for picks this year, since they'll all be the last picks of the rounds next year.

I've never liked moving up much. Remember Jonathan Sullivan, anyone?

I remember he had a real hunger for the game.

Don't forget that there are UDFAs. Which we happen to excel at.

So why NOT use our leverage this year to obtain 1-2 impact players?

There's only two worth trading up for and that's Vic Beasley and Brandon Scherff...

Danny Shelton should be good, but there are other defensive linemen (i.e. Davis, Goldman) grading a shade under we could select with the 31st pick...

Now moving to the 4th (Raiders) or 5th pick (Redskins), should ensure Beasley, if the Titans or Jaguars don't surprise and select him...

I wouldn't be surprised to see us move up and consolidate picks as we've limited salary cap room presently...
