    Maybe we can trade for Zach Brown in the deal.

    On a serious note, I would consider trading back to 15 and picking up a second this year and maybe a couple more picks next year.

    I think most of this site agrees the defense needs a major overhaul after the OL got one this year. I would like to have the team set up for one more big draft in JRob's third year to help restock youth, depth or just fix any misses we take in the draft.

    As it's been discussed, I don't know how many quality players are way above the rest coming to the draft his year, so the #15 pick may still have good quality picks to go with another pick possibly back-to-back if the titans and bills end close in record.

    The Cowboys and Titans are proving that the run is back in the NFL. It's a copycat league. The draft will be dominated by guards, tackles, etc. As some noted, very few QB's coming out, and not many RB's. So O linemen and D will go high. If we wait until 15 we won't get Foster or a DT like Allen I am afraid.

    We don't need a D lineman early. The combination of Casey, Jones, Woods, Klug, Blackson and Johnson is already well above average.

    We need a CB, the depth of which in this draft is ridiculous. We would have many great CB's to choose from at 15.

    We need an ILB, either Foster or Cunningham will likely be there at 15.

    We arguably need a WR, Mike Williams or Ross would possibly still be there at 15, but I just can't see us going offense in the 1st.

    I'd trade the Rams pick "for a king's ransom" only. We'd most likely come away with 2 mid 1st rounds, an acquired second and an additional future 1st or 2nd. Will it happen? Who knows. I'd load the hell up on D this year, particularly CB, ILB, OLB. Use 2018 extra picks to fill gaps with BPA.

    Actually they are not, thus taking Dodd and Johnson, which has not worked out. We have no speed rush at all. Watch Vonn Miller Sunday and drool.

    It doesn't appear likely that we will be offered a kings ransom. The only reason teams do that is to trade for a qb, and most of the teams that need qb's are projected to finish ahead of the rams (bears, jets, browns, maybe jags).

    I'd say we likely stand pat and pick. But if Robinson can get the second rounder back at not much of a move down, and likes the cb options just as well a few picks lower, by all means, make a deal.

    All are, as you said, average...some games they play well...some they disappear....I want game changers that put reliable pressure on the QB...but yes a couple of good cb's are a must...truthfully it will be hard NOT to upgrade the CB's over the offseason...

    Definitely agree on CB and ILB in round 1. Would be nice to come up with a 2nd rounder, but that would take a genius to pull off without giving up too much. Professor JRob Act 2, soon will take the stage...

    This is one of the worst drafts to need OL help. RB is actually stacked.

    This draft is way too good to waste moving back.
