I just think if we ignore the fact that our pass rush was more anemic though and the fact that we had high pressure percentages with little paydirt being hit? That should take priority over a guy that's going to maybe be on the field 70% of the time when a more effective edge rusher can just clobber the QB to the point to where on 3rd and long he's not getting 4, 5 seconds to pick apart a guy like Herndon. 

Ideally, in a perfect world? This team gets lucky and gets a trade offer to move back from 24 and they pick-up a pair of 2nd and 3rd RD selections and maybe a pick in next year's draft. The amount of guard, tackle, nickel and edge rushing prospects available in these rounds is perfect and we'll probably hit multiple, safe prospects here IMHO. 

I would be over joyed if they got a deal. We wait for the 2nd night, that's fine. They end up getting an edge rusher like Foskey or McDonald, they end up getting a tackle/guard like Mauch or Bergeron and they end up getting a corner like Brents to compliment Campbell and move Williams back inside or Sydney Brown to fit the role everybody wants Branch for early. Problem solved. It's slim it'll happen. It sure would be nice. 

I just think if they select a player like Cam Smith at CB or even Keion White at 24, a prospect that I think a lot of the media is sleeping on. We should be relatively pleased as fans. I also agree with you at RB/WR. No way in hell this team should be investing any selections there until well after round four.

I'd be OK with Cam Smith. Keion White is more of a 2nd rounder to me. He projects to be a versatile good but not great Swiss army knife like Roy Robertson-Harris. He needs a couple years to blossom. Thus, it would be a meh pick for me.  

Darious Williams does better on the outside and should stay there next season regardless of who's drafted.
