If we can trade down and and get the Cowboys 2 first rounders I think that might be wise, especially if a player we covet is gone.
We need lots of help and having 3 out of the first 35 picks would be huge. |

The whole right side of our Offensive Line would be set for 10 years.
From Center (Niswanger) to Right Tackle (Cherilus). Sullivan could compete with Niswanger. Whomever loses the job would stick around for depth purposes. We'd have a replacement at each of those three spots. You'd have your two CB starters (Cason, Jackson) once Surtain hung it up. And a nice cushion with Nickel (Brackenridge) and Dimeback (Patterson). Curtis Lofton would likely be a 2nd year starter and take over for Harris. Your LB trio (Williams, Lofton, Johnson) would be young and very talented. Schmitt makes a splash right away at FB. Manningham competes with Darling/Webb for his spot in the WR food chain. Serna would battle it out with (a hopefully healthy) Cundiff for Placekicking duties. Or you could carry both... Smith and Gilberry serve as depth on the Defensive Line... Couldn't ask for anything more. A QB would've been nice though... Sue me! |

Another brilliant example of passing on arguably the best player in the draft, to trade down to take an OT.

Instead of "trade down" being their THIRD option, like you, its their FIRST option, bypassing greater talent on the board. |

I'd bet you all the rice in China that he's not in the Top 10 overall on any NFL team's draft board. Several teams, including the Chiefs, tend to shy away from underclassmen O-linemen. There was an article floating around last year about how NFL teams are looking for guys who have at least 45-50 starts in college, and how guys that don't typically don't succeed in the league. I'll try to find it. Clady had 37 starts at Boise St, and only 26 of those were actually at LT. Also, whether people like it or not, he played for Boise ****ing State. That's wouldn't be that big of a deal had he DOMINATED at Boise State. He didn't. Jake Long gets shit on this board for giving up ONE sack, and it was to a guy who's universally a Top 5-6 pick. Clady was less than dominant against ridiculously inferior competition. How anyone thinks taking a guy at the 5th pick overall who can't handle those HUGE stars from the likes of Hawaii, Louisiana Tech and New Mexico State is getting value at our pick is baffling to me. |

Clady is universally about 9th. Reach and Reach. Again who are you gonna "reach" for? As much as I get into this discussion, not what I would want. Definately dont want Gholston at 5 either. Less so. Wouldnt want the Cinci thing either. Better get a second out of that, and It still wouldnt be great. Dallas trade down is the only decent trade down scenario I've seen, and only if the top 4 are gone. MicJones draft looks good if it fell that way. It would be a great start to the rebuilding process.

One of the following will be available at #5, GUARANTEED. J. Long C. Long Ellis Dorsey Ryan WHY would anyone want to trade down and pass on an elite talent? There are 7 guys who all could go #1. The 5 I listed above, and McFadden and Gholston. After that, there's a pretty significant drop in talent. Staying at 5 guarantees us one of these guys. |

I do understand it, though I think those people either: 1) Don't watch college football 2) Are arguing for the sake of arguing. There are many, many people here who have never seen these guys play, but take the word of Joe Nobody at www.igotsmeadraftwebsite.com as gospel. I have a hard time fathoming that anyone who has seen Ryan Clady PLAY, thinks he's worthy of a Top 5 pick over players like Dorsey, Ellis, Ryan or either of the Longs. Please, enlighten us. Who are YOUR Top 5 players? |

All I had to see of Clady was the Hawaii game to let me know he's not elite.
It may be mental, it may be physical. But you don't suck that bad against average (at best) talent, and suddenly turn into an elite NFL player. |
