I would prefer to trade down.
But, if I have to choose, what are my options?
QB Geno Smith -- I'm not investing a 1st overall in a guy who I'm going to bench, nor am I investing two 2nd rounders in a guy I'm going to bench. Out.
OT Luke Joeckel/Eric Fisher -- not a need anymore. Out.
Any receiver -- I only believe the 1st overall should be reserved for the Calvin Johnsons. None.
CB Dana Milliner -- Corners are never worth the 1st overall unless they're future hall of famers. Corners rely too much on the passrushing in front of them, and even if they do turn out to be really good, you can avoid them simply by throwing away from them.
DE Sheldon Richardson or Sharrif Floyd -- There are disputes about whether Richardson's a headcase or not. I don't think he is, but if you discern differently, you pass. Floyd has a really special first step, and is physically gifted, and a model citizen. Floyd's problems are all technique. I'd really prefer either of these guys over the other options, but both are going to take a couple years to develop.
OLBs Dion Jordan, Ezekiel Ansah, Bjeorn Werner -- I've soured on Werner, but Jordan and Ansah sure turn heads. But seeing as I'm probably locking up Houston soon, and Hali still has years left in the tank, I'll pass for now. It's less of a need at #1 overall.
I'd go with either Richardson or Floyd, whomever fits my scheme better (read: can rush the passer better). I think that's Richardson.
