Here is what I would do....
..... Trade Down in the first, maybe 2x and get as many 2nd round picks as possible.
..... Then try to draft the following 4 players in the First 3 Round (no particular order)
1) G: Mike Iupati, Idaho: Considered Best Guard Prospect to come out in the last 10yrs. Best player in draft within his position. Draft him and put Wood at Center.
2) LT: Rodger Saffold, Indiana: Climbing up draft boards, should be there in early second round. Put him at LT and our line is set for the next 10yrs
2) DT/DE: Tyson Alualu (Cal): Played in a 3-4 at Cal but may be more suited for 4-3, never the less he shows great explosiveness.
3) Wr: Jordan Shiply (TEX): Perfect slot reciever. He can be our version of Wes Walker or Gonzalez (Colts). Should help the passing game with Evens on one side, him in the slot, and whomever at WR2 spot.
These Moves will: Complete our O-Line for years to Come. What do you think of a line that looks like this: LT: Saffold LG: Lavitre/Iupati C: Wood RG:Leveitr/Iupati RT: Bell or BPA. I think, assuming picks pan out, our O-Line will be sick within 2yrs and an upgrade at RT. Next year, I would draft a QB in the first, assuming we have a top 10 pick and a chance to get a top QB.
OUr D-Line: Also improved w/Alualu. I would continue to look for NT which are rare. Maybe target one in the upcomming drafts or with the 4th round pick.
Picks 4th round - 7th round
Get BPA with a focus on: LB, DT/DE, RB,
What do you think? I think all of these pick are reasonable. I do believe that there will be ample opportunity to trade down, and getting an extra 2nd round will really help (Last year the Pats traded down 2x in the First round alone. If your asking price is reasonable, I think you will have many partners who wish to trade up. Of course this all starts with picking up the phone). I am making solidifying the O-Line a priority while adding a complementary WR. These moves should really help out the Offence.
