Because Warfield isnt going to play the first month of the year, and he's a mediocre starting cornerback at best. He would make a great nickelback, regardless of what amount of money he is making. Hes making close to 4.5 million, and doesnt deserve it, but if getting Rolle and Surtain is possible, TO HELL WITH ERIC WARFIELD.
He could be cut for all I care if we land those cornerbacks.
Surtain, Rolle, and Trotter would take this defense to a whole other level.
Capable players at key positions.
Trading down works also, because if we were to land those two corners, we would no longer have need of Antrelle Rolle/Carlos Rodgers/Pac Man Jones, pick your rookie corner....unless they cut Warfield and his overpaid salary.
Derrick Johnson most likely wont fall to 15, so trading down to nab Burnett and draft a young wide receiver would make sense, because the main defensive needs would have been addressed.
If this were to come to fruition in reality however, we would be receiving weather reports from hell, reporting a deep, deep freeze, because it would be F'in awesome.
So there's no way Carl will approve something like that.
