That's crazy.

I don't like the thought process of "giving up 2 firsts." You're giving up one, the other would be used anyhow. So, you're giving up the chance to add one player next year to get a better player this year.
Now, I agree it probably takes more than just the 1st, probably a 3rd or 4th in there too, to get up to the range to take Darrisaw (probably 13-14). Slater will probably go even higher.
I absolutely love Darrisaw and I think there's a clear, significant dropoff in talent after Darrisaw at the position (i.e. Sewell, Slater, Darrisaw).
That said, I agree there could be a talented OT that falls to 31. There's a good chance Cosmi is there and I'd roll the dice on that kid for sure.
