Make Moves To Pick Up Decastro Plus A Dt?

What do you guys think of trading our first pick to NE for their two firsts, then taking one of them and our second to trade into the middle of the first round and a third.

Then take DeCastro with the first pick, someone like Worthy or Jenkins with the second first rounder and then a LB with the third rounder.

It shores up the LG spot for the next 10 years, gives us a starter at either DT or CB and a backup LB.

Thoughts?

I would love to trade our 9 for both of NEs firsts, but other than that, this is a pretty whacky scenario.

That's the way I feel.

We get both of NE's 1s, then pick up Worthy and Jenkins at the back-end of the first and Brown or Spence in the 2nd, and we could be set for a long, long time.

If there is any position where a number 1 pick is not necessary it is guard. Now to find the next left tackle for the next decade, perhaps. Bell did a credible at right tackle for a rookie and was an UDFA. That would be a total waste of a pick when you could get the 6th or 7th best guard in the draft in the 3rd or 4th round.

there are more than enough talented, starting caliber OGs in this draft that will be available from rounds 2-4 without having having to spend a first on one.

btw...decastro is no more guaranteed to be a perennial pro-bowler/all-pro than any others we would pick up in the next couple rounds nor is the position vital enough to pass over talented guys at CB, DT, or LB. we can get by much better with lesser talent at OG than we can with lesser talent at some of those other positions.

if we were to score those extra picks, i would use the first couple on some combination of DT/CB/LB and then use the third pick on an OG if we were committed to picking another up (which i actually think they should).

that's a lot of shuffling around, btw, and i'm not sure it would be worth it just to get a 3rd rounder.

    • I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.
    • I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--
    • After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
