He’d be a WMD with Andy and Pat.

Won't disagree with you, Veach should rush to the phone if he's available with our second pick... even move way up to do it if necessary, this RB group needs a shot of adrenaline in the worst possible way

My scenario for Henderson was trading back, picking up a pick or two, and grabbing him.

Unless a Nolen or Harmon drop, this appears to be a great year to move back. If, for example, we could get another team's second-round pick for next season and a later-round pick this season I'd happily trade down a dozen spots.

There will likely still be very good picks available: Henderson, Conerly, Burden, Tuimoloau, Ersey. A starter can still be had. And we all know how valuable the Sneed pick is this year (66) -- it sure would be great to have an even more valuable pick next year.

If an unexpected player drops to the team at 31 by all means make the selection. But it seems this year there is a larger than normal group of good picks beginning in the second round. The team would have to give up the fifth year option -- which is valuable. But I don't know if that value is high enough to overcome the need for future premium picks to stock the cupboard.

So you trade down to waste a 5th year option for a late round pick? Not very bright

You missed the team obtaining a second-rounder next season. It's an important part of the story. That's what is meant by a "premium" draft pick. I'd trade down from 31 to 50 to get it. The depth in the draft this year makes it a good opportunity. But what do I know? I'm not very bright.
