re: Draft analysis - Trading back?

They ran it with him a decent bit through the first few games but got rid of it completely. I think it had to do with Tebow forcing them to hunker down hahaha. (sorry I always giggle when I think of Tebow playing qb). The thing is, this draft is down all around. A player like Joeckel isn't Jake Long, Jonathan Ogden, or Orlando Pace. He's just what's available and safe so he's mostly the consensus #1. No one knows what's gonna happen in this draft period, so with all the defensive depth, there's a good chance if we go tackle it won't be till a bit later because we're not gonna get one of the big 3, and Fluker.. no thank you. I feel that's kinda the sentiments of the article because if all the prospects everyone is discussing are gone at 15, who would you feel comfortable taking there without thinking it a reach? Especially if you can pick up a second rounder and still have a chance at someone who could be equally talented.

I'll also slack on my criticism of him saying Safety because we could use depth/competition

This I'm 100% in agreement. I mean we need to pay Jimmy next year and there's slim chance Harper will be given his money next year (which is a lot) over him. Harper was one of if not the worst Strong Safeties in the league last year. Get someone if you can, especially someone who can cover. I'm a Cyprien homer myself, just don't like the pick at 15.
