Dude. You realize those trades could get a WR, the Iowa center and a tackle. All 1st rounders.

That would be awesome. I love Hutch and Thibs but that haul would be great.

After Jameson Williams, there is a significant drop in the next group of WR's, IMO. Not that they are bad, they are just pretty much all equal in my estimation, so if we traded down too far and missed out on Williams, we'd end up with the same type of WR we would probably get at the top of round 2 and we gain nothing. I do like Linderbaum a lot, but not as much as the idea of drafting an elite pass rusher. As far as OT, I don't see a single OT I would even consider drafting in the first 2 rounds. 

I'm taking quality over quantity. There is no quick fix for this team, no matter how many draft picks we get. I'd rather take a single elite player in round one over taking two good players. This is gonna be a slow re-build, so the picks we do end up with, I want the best players possible.
