I'd rather have Nicks than DHB, but other than that I love your idea...

I'm a big fan of DHB. We need that burner and if we get rid of TG it was give us another option in the offense. Of course any of the top WR's would work. This would be what I'd want to do if we trade down also.

Focus on defense next year when the prospects are better. In a perfect world we could do this and pick up one of the safeties or a top pass rusher next year. It would help if part of a trade down package included a 1st rounder next year.

Of course, if we keep Cassel and trade down a burner won't do too much since Cassel doesn't have the most accurate of deep balls.

My thing with DHB is whether or not he can ever really be more than just a burner. I'd rather have a quick twitch guy with good football acumen over a physical specimen with straight-line speed. I've been around with Mecca on this one.

That's a valid concern, but all signs point to yes for me. That is just my opinion and I've been wrong before though.

I saw a thread you and Mecca were having a DHB discussion right after I posted my DHB support. I'm on record going back to well before the combine that I like him though.
