I'd trade #20 and Amobi for Dan Williams and keep my first round pick for next year if it's the difference between Gerald McCoy and him.

Yes, I believe I would. It would not be an easy choice and we would have to be sure we could conceivably replace our Mike with someone. Actually, I more had in mind someone like OD. We lead the NFL in offense mostly without him and Dreeson and Casey can probably fill in nicely. Ryans would certainly be a loss however.

Remind me, not to question your football knowledge. :rolleyes: How do you plan to draft Dan Williams? Do you advocate just trading up a few slots or hoping he falls to us?

I'm saying that trading up a few slots for Dan Williams is a lot easier than trying to get up to the #3 slot from #20. I am hoping that he falls to us, but I wouldn't bet on it considering the situation in Miami.

Today, I'm not going to say how high or who with I'd trade with. The dynamic I'd want to see during the draft is when the FS's and OT's start to come off the board. I can envision a scenario where we could move up to #15 in order to draft one of my top 4 players.

1 S Eric Berry
2 DT Dan Williams
3 S Earl Thomas
4 OT Trent Williams

If all 4 are still on the board, then I'd wait at #20. If they are all off the board, I'll cross my fingers and hope that Weatherspoon is there when my turn is up.

By the way, feel free to question my football knowledge. It makes me think.

Roy, the one hope we have is that some "draft darlings" will rise up the chart and may push some of those guys down to us. I loved the draft you posted in another thread that started with Dan Williams, Kyle, and Ben.

I could get to be a T. Cody fan also. He does have a weight problem, but in the last two years none of the SEC backs gained 100 yds in one game against Alabama. That says something to me.

Not advocating 1st round, Hehe!

Mt. Cody is a guy that should be a 2nd round pick. I'm hoping that he's somebody else's 2nd round pick, but that is just me. To be quite honest, I was happy that we signed Shaun Cody last year. If we are looking for a wide body to play the nose, unless we get Dan Williams, I'll be content with Linval Joseph, Torrell Troup, or Jay Ross later on. The 2nd round pick is either going to be an OL, RB, CB, or a DT that gets up the field and causes havoc on the QB like Houston or Alualu.
