They need to fix their lines.
Not a bad move by the tinhorns on paper, we'll see if it benefits them much in the long run.

This is 100% true.

But we do need to be in some sort of offensive arms race in the AFC. We have nice pieces but we definitely need some legitimate youth brought in. I wouldn't have traded for Diggs for the exact reasons stated here. Attitude, age, etc. But we do need to do SOMETHING (on top of the Davis signing) to replenish our skill positions for the foreseeable future. Which is why I hope we take a WR early in this deep draft.

I'd prefer a Javon Baker to be there at the end of the 3rd when he may not supposed to be there.  Baker has very good to elite level shiftiness, patience, vision and decision making with the ball in his hands.  His highlights had several instances of him allowing the defender to over pursue as he would cut to a different direction for a bunch of YAC.  Or I'd be ok with taking Rice in the 4th.  He looks better in highlights to me than what his NFL.com grade is.  I just think the way the draft will likely fall position wise would serve us better to take something else in the 1st and 2nd rounds this year and wait on WR until the 3rd or one of our 4th round picks.  I think there's a decent chance someone like Baker is there or someone else falls that isn't supposed to.  

I'd be disappointed with Pearsall in the 2nd as many are mocking to us as I feel that where we currently pick would be over drafting him a bit for what my personal expectations are for his pro career.  He may very well go before our 2nd round pick. I just think people are seeing that one handed circus catch he had and pumping him up a bit because of it.  I think there is likely to be more value at the position for the draft capital spent at the end of the 3rd is all.
