I hope we don't let needs dictate what we do in the draft. If the best player available at #15 is offensive, we MUST trade down or take that offensive player.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!

I have been having this disscusion for awhile now on another board and it amazes me how people think our offense is so great that we shouldnt draft any offense except a backup RB in the later rounds. First off thats a horrible way to approach the draft. Second we were 3rd in the NFL in YPG. That doesnt meen sht. The true stat is we wre 17th in points scored. Thats a better guage of where we are as an offense. YPG can be missleading for so many reasons.
