1. Trade down at any cost. The #1 overall pick is worthless, so take the best offer with the extra picks and move on.
2. Sheldon Richardson
3. Tavon Austin or another WR with skills that we currently lack
4. Dion Jordan, Dee Milliner, or another defensive player from the top 15 who fills a hole for us
5. Fisher + Albert trade
6. Just Fisher
7. Joeckel

Once it was clear we weren't going Geno I would have preferred what the Raiders did. Take less than value to move down and get our 2nd back.
Warmack or Milliner (after a trade down) would have been nice but after signing two CB's that wasn't going to happen.
