Quote:I think we have to look at a trade down scenario. Garrett and Allen will be gone. Garrett to Cleveland and Allen most likely to Chicago. There will still be a ton of good pass rushers in the draft, but none worthy of top 8 selections, so why not trade down, add some more picks and take the best available players on the board? We'll find a good pass rusher somewhere in the first 3-4 rounds. It's a deep draft. One guy I saw recently that really impressed me was Harold Landry of Boston College and I'm still a big fan of DeMarcus Walker as well.
I'm good with trading down... I just don't think there'll be a ton of people wanting to move up.
There's always a surprise or two on day 1 of the draft though.

Walker is a beast but he wont be there in the 3rd or 4th round

No, he won't. I look for him to be taken anywhere from the middle of round 1 to anywhere in round 2. I was referring to him more in a scenario if we traded down in round 1. If we did, we could still land a pass rusher like Walker or Landry in the #15-#25 range.
