Well outside of Gonzalez, there is no one that we can trade outside of a young guy, who would actually net us any meaningful picks. The acquire more picks ship has sailed, and if we trade out of the top 5, I'll ****ing kill someone.

He can play either position. I actually believe we had this discussion last year and you said he was a better SS, and I said he could do either.

If I ever said I thought he was a SS I must have been high at the time, he's basically built like a big corner so I'd much rather he play FS.

I fully agree with you, especially when we are sitting on top of damn near $50 million in cap room to go out and get young stars to fill some of the holes we need.

They'll trade out to 12th and draft James Lauranitis.

So we'll probably draft him and move him to CB where he'll go on to be the next Warfield or Bartee.

Drafting a LT would essentially be legitimizing spending a #17 pick on a guard, and moving a productive left tackle out of position. Drafting a QB outside of Stafford is settling for a pick. Drafting a WR like Crabtree on a team that has 2 receivers playing very good football is something Matt Millen would do. The only players I can justify sticking around for are Stafford and Orakpo, unless someone makes a huge leap, which is doubtful. Stafford will be gone and we're making a huge assumption that Orakpo will grade as a top 3 calibre DE--I still have doubts as to whether he is. Otherwise, you're reaching. I would rather reach for a player we need, then stick around for someone we don't need or for someone that's going to push a productive player to the bench. And I would rather trade down and draft the guy we want at the right spot and get extra picks on the side than reach. |

I think the only other top players are left tackles and WRs. Maybe a CB or two slips in there and Orakpo.
None of these positions are places where we would get the difference-making you would want out of a top 10 pick. I will vomit if the Chiefs use a top 5 pick on a left tackle. |

Holy shit. Matt Ryan wasn't even considered a 1st round pick until this time last year, much less 3rd overall. A LOT is going to change between now and April. |
