Early 2nd is an interesting question, is it not?
Let's say we're sitting at 12 in the 2nd and he's still there when the 5th spot comes up - do hope he slides and take him then? Do you deal a 4th rounder to move up and grab him?
Do you say "Nah - another Pacman Jones and I don't want this kid influencing Justin Houston" and pass on him altogether?
If he's there for us in the 2nd, I think I'd grab him and take my chances. I don't think I'd be willing to move a 4th to move up for him, though. There's been a lot of talent that has slid down into the 4th round over the least few years (3rd round especially, but that's a different topic). If you're a team that doesn't have to draft for need there, you can get some really quality players in the 3rd and 4th rounds - it's why the rich keep getting richer.
