    With a list like that, it makes me think trading back to around 10 isn't a bad idea at all. I'd bet the hit ratio is about the same.

    I think something that's being overlooked with this high pick is that most teams with a pick that high EARNED IT and have to draft with extreme need in mind and with common rules in place.

    We don't have to do any of that.

    Personally I feel like you have a higher chance of getting a starter with multiple picks instead of betting it all on one pick. We may get a great player at #5, then again we might get a great player at #25 or #37 or #62, etc. I think Henry will be one of the best RBs in the league once he takes over for Murray, as an example.

    This is, essentially, what the Patriots do... but they suck, right?

    Take a look back at our second round picks and tell me confidently we are going to have even a starter....

    So few second contracts of our second rounders.

    The people claiming we should keep that high pick use the excuse that we have a good GM to make it a better pick.

    Fine... flip that 5 for multiple lower, but still high, picks and let that good GM fill this team up... again, what the Patriots do.

    I can see a small trade down to 10-12. Would be throwing away opportunity by 20.

    Also, you're missing a key element to what the patriots do... they acquire extra picks so they can trade up to go get their guy without wasting draft value. not just extra picks for extra chances.
