At most, we're gonna be alloted around $6-7M(*) in the rookie cap, so it's not gonna do us a ton of good to accumulate 12 or more picks. We likely wouldn't be able to sign them all.
*estimation based on last years numbers. |

I didn't know we had Herschel Walker on our team.

Some of you need to realize we need superstar players somewhere. Trading down to get depth is good, but this team needs playmakers first and foremost.

We need the ugly players who seem to be available in the 4th round every year. Herm seems to be able to find the DB's we need, so I don't think we *have* to take a player with the #4/5 pick. If we could do the following (or something vaguely like), I'd be exstatic. Trade 5th for 15th and a 2nd. Trade 15th for 20th and a 3rd _ 4th. Trade 20th for a 28th and a 3rd. Trade 28th for top of 2nd + 3rd At that point, we'd have have gotten a high 2nd, 3 3rds and a 4th for our #5 pick. Do the same with each of those (to move down into the 2nd day) and we could end up with 10 picks out of that #5 pick. I don't know if this is a year to do something like that (if the talent is there in bulk in the high 2nd day). But if it is and we really are trying build with youth... why not? With 20 picks we could literally take 6 OL, 5 DT, 4 CB and 3 QBs and almost certainly end up with several franchise players out of that mix. |

Wow. Jaz might be the only person LESS qualified than Carl to run a draft.
Jake Long and Sedrick Ellis sure are "ugly" players. We can get their equivalent in the 4th round!!!

We have our young QB.
I think that's a bit of a reach. |

I think we need to keep our first rounder. Trading down in the 2nd and 3rd would be an option I wouldn't mind, though.

We're picking so early in each round it's like having 2 R1 and a R2. Think of the players we could have had last year with this early of a pick. Choose one from each group: Levi Brown Adrian Peterson Patrick Willis Justin Blalock Tony Ugoh Lamar Woodley Ryan Harris Marcus McCauley Jacoby Jones Yamon Figurs |
