Here's the thing though, besides the gems, none of the pics were considered reaches or bad picks. Meachem and PRob weren't the most 'reach picks' we've had. But most like Jenkins, Jordan, Bush, Wilson, Hicks, Toon, Vaughn and Pittman were all taken close to where they were projected.


Here's why I don't want to trade back though. None of those guys listed were projected to be game changing type players on defense. We have a chance to get one of those type players this year.

What's interesting though is 2010 was the only year in which we did not have a pick that was the result of trading a player away. Additionally, we have used a lot of mid to later round picks to straight up trade for players: Shockey, Mare, Shanle, Vilma, Dave Thomas. We have also unloaded players at the right time, Stallworth, Brown. Makes you wonder, especially considering our cap situation, if any of the bigger contracts are still on the block under the radar like Strief (providing we trust others like Jones or Harris to fill the hole).
