A bizarre option for Rd. 1 pick

[tskyler]

I have to admit upfront that I am a poor O-line evaluator. So, tell me what's wrong with this scenario. We give our 1st and 3rd to San Diego for Marcus McNeil. With this move you are paying an extra 3rd for a proven player. This would be cheaper value wise than paying to move up in round 1 and you have less risk of a total bust.

I admit that I didn't pay much attention to McNeil. I am assuming he is one of the better LT. So one objection is he's not worth it. Does a low one and three make sense as general strategy if there was a different player that you thought was elite.

This is a unique year to play with wierd salary/bonus scenarios. Might be a interesting move

Gaither is better and is just a. 1 and is 24

McNeil has some back issues that are going to cut his career short. His talent in undeniable but even coming out in the draft I was put off by the possibility that he may struggle to give any team a full season and a long career.

any time you trade picks for players you are giving up more than just the picks ... you are trading picks for guys who you have to give huge contracts to.
