Quality > Quantity is true....however, why not have both.

Why not have a quantity of quality?

Kyle Long is starting at LG now.

Announcers during last game stated how the OL has been greatly improved with him there.

because no matter how much fun mocks are, hitting on that many picks late in round 1 and late in round 2 isn't likely.

The patriots have a ton of picks every year and miss on a ton of those as well. No one notices because they have a good enough team that they can afford quantity over quality, but even with them, it caught up to them.

Pretty much this. That would be 7 picks in the first 4 rounds. Realistically even if Jerry and crew have a good day we are going to miss on 3 out of those 7 picks. Thats just life. Now that means youre left with 4 guys that you basically traded down for. So the moral of the story is, aside from a few special circumstances, you should just stay where you are and take the top talent available.

Thats just common sense.
I like the idea of moving down and accumulating an extra pick of two in this draft, it seems to be light on premier players and deep on solid potential NFL'ers.
