Honestly, they should just go full Patriot to try to pull off what the 49ers are doing this year.
Trade down to 8. If you don't like the landscape, trade down to 16. If you still don't like it, trade out for all I care.
If you're not taking Geno Smith and you don't believe in someone like Richardson, let the draft come to you.
Unlike Pioli, who seemed to decide what positions he was going to take before the draft started, Reid/Dorsey have given the team the flexibility to look at the draft and just take it as it comes.
They could come out of the draft with Margus Hunt, Tyler Bray, the 3rd day picks and a shitload of 2014 pick and have as much potential talent on the roster as they would have had they gone with Geno or Floyd.
There are serious homerun swings they can take with this draft.
And part of that is because of the much derided Alex Smith trade. I give a ton of credit to Reid and Dorsey; they did a spectacular job of creating flexibility for the draft.
