Swapping with Detroit?

That doesn't really mean you have to take OL at #9.

If Peterson is gone, then OL will probably be the best player available. Especially if you are talking about just those two positions. As I noted earlier, I think Tyron Smith is a top 5 talent in this draft. He is just coming out a year early. Even coming out early, I think he is gone before or by the 13th pick. Possibly even before we pick at #9 if his pro day goes flawlessly.

Good find. Kind of weird, though. Has anyone else heard of a big demand to trade into the top 10 to take Prince?

Anyway, trading back four spots sounds about right to me -- not so far that we don't have good players to choose from, but not so little that we don't add much. A third is what I'm hoping we can add.

Well, the fact that he relies purely on athleticism rather then proper technique should just about do it. He got away with it in college, I'd love to see him try that in the pros. Also, can you really picture a 230 pound CB? No way.

He is 219 and so what he has the skills and speed to play the position which is why he is looked at the top prospect at CB and why many feel he is the best prospect in the draft.
