We have already a decent RB in Fred Jackson and we can easily sign/draft a player to carry the load. Whilst there are calls to trade Evans, with both Owens and Reed as free agents, we would be left with only Hardy and Johnson, and the draft is as light as in 2008 when it comes to WR talent.
As a team we lack talent in two areas where this up and coming draft has talent available - Safety and Defensive Line.
At Safety, there are two top players in Eric Berry and Taylor Mays who would offer us a dynamic playmaker in the secondary.
On the line, there is Ndamukong Suh, Gerald McCoy, Arthur Jones, Terrence Cody, Carlos Dunlap and Greg Hardy who would really help an area of continuing weakness especially Jones as a DE or Cody at NT if we switch to a 3-4.
With two R1 picks we sort out the defence once and for all, and despite the poverty of our offence this season, it is defence which wins championships.
R1a Berry or Mays
R1b Jones or Dunlap
R2 QB
This would still allow us to use the 2nd rounder on a QB and as several have shown they can often be behind center very early in the season.
No OT? Well with Butler back, Bell learning and Scott and Meredith having game time, all we lack here is experience as we seem to have talent and a rookie OT would not offer us that experience.
Many will hate the idea of trading Lynch but in many cases it is no worse a suggestion than trading Evans, especially as we already have an inhouse replacement.
