Heck, according to some on here, he is the best player in the draft. Could be, I don't know, but it has been 20 years since a top 5 pick.

I'm looking at this completely different than most people.
Before the trade, there was a real threat that they'd make a huge mistake and reach for a offensive lineman, based on need, passing on better players like Long and Gholston. Even though DE was (and obviously still is) a huge need with only Hali and Allen on the roster.
Now, I feel this all but forces them to take the best player available.
I'd be shocked if either Long or Gholston isn't there.
And in the end, getting the best player at the 5 slot is more important to me than worrying about whether we're using a pick to replace Allen.
I'm betting they draft 2-3 DE's in this draft. Might as well get the best.
