If you were the GM of this team.
Heres mine:
I see us ending up around 10-17 as far as our draft pick spot goes. Personally, I dont see anyone thats worth top 10 coin at our biggest need positions.
What do I mean?
Heres our top needs: OG, C, DT, and maybe even OT, if Clements leaves CB.
Now, whos the best of the best that might be there and is worthy of a 10-17 pick?
CB-
Jimmy Williams might be there, he IS a stud prospect who can play either CB or S, BUT he ISNT a real speedster which I consider to be pretty important
Jason Allen- At 10, as of right now, its a reach to grab Allen. I think he would be a much better pick at 17 and a great pick at 20-30
OG-
Max Jean Giles is the best- but he is FAR from worth a 10 or even 17 pick
C-
No one is worthy of a 1st round pick as of right now
DT-
Ngata- may very well be gone by the 10 pick, if hes there is as very worthy of the pick
Wright- really the only other guy worthy of a mid to high 1st at this point, seems to be a bit of a reach at 10.
OT- Coming into the season this was the strongest position in draft. I think it still is. But, As of now, there is really only one guy worth a top 10 pick ir even the 17, thats Ferguson who is likely long gone. Winston, McNeil and several other have seen there stock drop and the best spot to sit if you want a OT is late 1, and round 2.
So, if no one is worth the 10 pick we of course could look to move down into a later pick where there is better value or stay and draft a top player at a non high need.
BUT, if I were the GM, I just might think about a blockbuster trade. Why?
Well, I think many of us feel this team is devoid of enough star power in this squad.
Eric Moulds is our top paid player but many of us feel he isnt worth the amount he is getting anymore. Assuming he doesnt restructure or take a pay cut, he might be a possibility to be cut.
Rather than do that, what about a big trade involving our 10-17 pick to get a youngster who is a proven star at a critical position. Who would be worth it?
Heres my blockbuster trade:
Eric and our 10-17 pick for Chad Johnson and the Bengals 2nd rounder. Would they do it? probably not.
But, Chad Johnson is the BEST WR in the league right now, IMHO. He is a HUGE stud, is very young and instantly adds star power to a very young group that, without Moulds, would be needing leadership.
Chad is not now, and will never be TO. Is he arrogant? Yes! But he proves it on the field and keeps tight to his roots and where he came from. I just watched the piece ESPN did on him. He went from a virtual college washout to a stud for Oregon State. How? it wasnt a grandma who he would never see. It was a coach that forced him to stick with it and become a star. It was a guy who said he would personally kick Chad's a_s, if he quit college. Its the same coach who would do it today and straighten him out in a big hurry if he went ary. TO doesnt have that. Chad isnt TO.
The other part I love about this move is it adds another pick in the 2nd where there is MUCH better value for THIS teams needs.
What do you think of this trade and/or whats your blockbuster trade that you would make?
