I'd rather move down 5 spots to add an additional 2nd or 3rd pick on Friday than trade our current picks away to jump up. We need several of the good players we can get on Day 2 instead of cashing them in for a single guy higher up the draft board IMO.

And have Baalke mess up even more 2nd and 3rd rounders? Pass.

Odunze is a stud. It allows the Jags to get a day 1 guy on the outside. MHJ is the only other guy you could plug in day 1 and they would command targets. Nabers is tricky because he may be a vertical slot but I like him a lot and would be fine with him. If they trade up and have to give up 48, I would be fine with:

1. Odunze
3. Renardo Greene Khyree Jackson or BA CB
4. IOL

This is just how I personally see it. No IOL player drafted in round 1 is going to start. The OL is set and I know we need to plan for the future but they also need a player in round 1 that will start.

This darft will bite you in the rear as soon as Morse or Scherff go down with injury. We aren't a WR away from a title run, and if Odunze doesn't unlock some next level in TLaw, you're paying a steep price for the same old offense and a heap of holes as guys get older and expensiver.

I'd happily slide back a handful or so of spots and give Baalke three shots in the top 50-65 or so to find a win(s) than to gamble it all on one and leave us with the same gaping weaknesses going into the NEXT darft, too. Oh but this time, if 16 gets his bag we won't be able to count on FA to bail us out.
