if we can't trade down then what are we going to do? Take a 2nd round player at another position just to avoid taking a position not normally ranked high? |
Brockers or DeCastro.
I disagree with the consensus that 11 is 'too high for a guard'. With short passing being so popular now, more and more teams are going to look to collapsing the middle to deal with that. I think the guard position is now close to RT in terms of overall importance.
But even assuming you believe 11 to be too high for a guard - He's going to go in the top 16(ish). Is there really a massive gulf between 11 and 16? If you think a guy is good enough to take at 16 or even 18 and you can't engineer a trade-back...well shit happens, take him at 11.
If you're looking at a whole bunch of positions that are all positions of slightly lesser importance, then give me the one that's going to spend the most time on the field. That's going to be Brockers or DeCastro.
