Reid already did mention something to the effect that the rush was going to be coming from the middle instead of the edge. Now whether that was strategy or philosophy I can't remember. But I'm pretty sure he meant that in a philosophical way.

Other than Greedy, most of the CBs were already guys that would likely go in the 20's. A guy like Baker was already likely to be there at 29. If they slide, he's going to slide into a place where we could trade down, still take him, AND get more picks.
If they trade up to get a guy like Baker, they're making a mistake IMO. He's a high floor guy for sure but his ceiling isn't what several of the other guys' are.
