When the best player in the draft is an OT who's far from the consensus best player at his own position and has a lot of growing up to do to even be as good as last year's top OT in Matt Kalil, then yeah, you get fleeced. You trade down.
Take what you can get. A 2nd, a 3rd, whatever. Get the extra picks. And with your lower 1st round pick, you can draft a guy who will probably be just as good as Eric Fisher. AND probably at a position of need.
Shit dude, I'm not even talking about Geno Smith here. I'm just talking about a top CB, or a DL, WR, TE... ****ing ANYTHING.
