Reach for DJ?

SFIAH got me thinking with his post...

Maybe we need to reach for this guy.

The defense needs something. Since we can't do anything to change the coaching... [Hi FireVenturi!] we should keep reaching for players that can potentially override that poor coaching.

Getting another average player at 16 doesn't really help. Trading down for more average players proabably won't either.

So consider trading up for an exceptional player.
Let's pick someone who virtually everyone agrees is a can't miss, not just the Saints scouting and coaching staffs.

He makes a pretty convincing case for reaching for this guy. IF he's everything most scouts say about him.
If you were sure you were gonna get the next Lawrence Taylor, would you trade #16 and #40 to get him? Or our #16 and Darren Howard?

Again, IF you were absolutely positive you were going to get the next LT.

Would you?
