Trading back in to the 1st seem like the most logical option.
This draft lacks elite talent at the top but is pretty deep all the way to the end of the 2nd round, especially at OG, CB, DT/DE, and OLB. And all of those positions are of need for us. To think we can get 3 of of the following players within picks 22-60 of the draft is just way too enticing to pass on when you consider who there is to choose from.
OG- Glenn, Zeitler, Silatolu, Brooks
DT/DE- Worthy, Still, Reyes, Thompson, Winn, Crick
CB- Gilmore, Jenkins, Robinson, Hosely, Boykin, Dennard, Flemming
OLB- Upshaw, Perry, Mercilus, Branch, McClellan, Irvin, C. Jones, Curry
If you mix and match with 3 of those 24 you can come up with some pretty damn good combos that would improve our team tremendously. Glenn-Reyes-Irvin, Mercilus-Still-Brooks, Gilmore-Branch-Winn, Perry-Zeitler-Hosely.....I could do it for about an hour but you get the idea. Trading back and picking up an extra 2nd seems almost like a no brainer to be honest. Lets just hope a team gives us a call with a good offer come draft day.
