If there is no one there you want to draft, who is there that anyone would trade up for?

This seems to escape nearly everyone here.

Different teams have different needs.

Who's behind us that may want to trade up for the best OT available?

Would the Rams be willing to give up a future number 1 for a chance to draft Reiff?

You think we can just give up having a first round pick this year?

The best OT available is not going to be worth the #11 pick. People need to realize that OTHER teams are aware of the draft class' weakness as well.

Suck it up and draft Poe or Decastro. I think Kuechly is great, but is redundant in this system with the presence of DJ.

That would be the best solution by far, but a team has to be willing to give up a first next year for our first this year. There is no position that we HAVE to get at #11 this year.

It's a fair point, but I just feel like, with the rookie wage scale, the difference between the #11 pick and the #20 pick is marginal. The only true difference is whether or not you get your guy.

If someone wants to trade up, and we feel like we can still get our guy (like Baldwin last year), then fantastic. I'm 100% for trading down. I'm just doubtful anyone is a willing trade partner.

At that point, you HAVE to draft whoever you like the best, regardless of position. Decastro is a fantastic pick at that point, because you are getting a legitimate first round talent, a day one starter, and at a position of need. Add to that the average length of an offensive lineman's career vs that of a running back, and I'd easily put him in contention with Trent Richardson. I know Richardson is more talented, but the averages suggest he is going to contribute as a starter for half the time Decastro will.

Just my take.
