1st round: CB/LT . . .or anything else?

The year of the Travis Johnson selection, we moved back 3 spots with NO and picked up the additional third, which turned into V. Morency, which turned into Sam Gado which turned into his release.

The Saints ended up with Jamal Brown, a good tackle.

On the flip side, the Texans have done a good job in the last couple years in the 3rd. Winston looks like our right tackle for the next 10 years and Spencer looked good in his limited time. It's just unfortunate that he suffered such a serious injury. I like Jacoby as well.

I guess whether you see a trade down as a good or bad decision hinges mostly on your faith in the Texans to make the most out of the lower picks. As of right now, I believe they would do so and thus, wouldn't mind a trade down, particularly if the LTs and CBs are gone.

Casserly was also the person doing the picking that year. I trust Smith and Kubiak much more.

I was trying to forget the Casserly regime. I left his name out on purpose. I, like you trust Kubiac and Smith based on the past two drafts.
