So. no I'm all in for immediate success with Ballard (if Andy's shoulder is indeed ok). We need CB's in a "passing league". I believe Ballard has increased our pass rush ability already over the last 2 seasons with the FA acquisitions. A good one in the draft and we're good.

They absolutely need to improve both the pass rush and corner play. This draft can basically be BPA for any defensive position and it'll be the best course of action.

yep same here, it'll be interesting to see if Foster/Ridgeway aren't there at 1-15 if we try to trade back and get this guy

Ridgeway?

You mean Riddick?

Matt Miller (Bleacher Report) reported it. It's hard to know whether or not these types of "leaks" are misinformation; though, Miller did have a source last year that said the Colts were going to pick Kelly.

So, as a complete hypothetical, using the draft trade value chart from Walter Football (they are all similar), would you rather have:

1-15 Hassan Riddick ?

---- OR -------

Trade 1-15 and 3-16 for Lions 1-21, 2-21 and 4-21

then

Trade 1-21 for Cowboys 1-28, 3-28

--------------------------------------------

In essence, trading Hassan Riddick for Charles Harris plus

2-21, 3-28, 4-21 while giving away 3-16 ?

Assuming that Charles Harris is available at 1-28 which most mock drafts have him being so.

Interesting question. It all depends on how Ballard and our staff rate the rookies available in the first round.

Cheers,

If this is the historic draft I keep hearing it is, then I like option 2, no doubt

Reports say Ballard likes EDGE Charles Harris (Missouri). Not my favourite pick @ 15, but that's a nice trade back option (along w/ Lawson).

I like Harris a lot (more than Barnett, for instance). Like this says, I would prefer it if they got him after trading back. If they could go back to the early 20's, add a 3rd, and get Harris, it would be a really nice move.

Option #2, please. I'd be happy if they just got 1.21+3.21 and picked Harris there.

Honestly, I'll be happy with a lot of draft picks this year. I would have only been happy with 2 or 3 last year.
