We have some leverage now, so let's use it and vastly improve the team.....
1) Trade Scheffler for a #3.
2) Take McClain at #11
3) Use the Miami 2011 2nd rd pick and one of our two this year to trade up for Pouncey.
4) Pick up Demaryius, Golden Tate, or Benn with our 2nd round pick.
5) The thirds (one from the scheffler trade) gives us additional flexibility - we can trade up to get another 2nd rounder if we feel the value is right or keep the two thirds. Gerhardt, Terrance Cody are two I have in mind that probably won't last past the 2nd round.
6) OR, Use those two 3rd rounders to pick up areas of need - perhaps John Jerry, Vladimir Ducasse, Carlton Mitchell, etc. Perhaps a young CB.....can't remember the guy from UCLA's name.....
7) Grab a punter, and a return specialist in the later rounds.
We dramatically improve the defense with the addition of Bannan, Green, J Will, and McClain. With an actual pass rush, I have a hard time seeing anyone not named Peyton picking our defense apart this year. Although CB is a pressing need in my opinion, we still have enough quality starters this year. Same with our safety position. We now have depth on the Dline and linebacking corp.
On the offensive side, we pick up our biggest need in Pouncey, create some solid young depth on the Oline, replace Marshall with one of many talented 2nd round receivers, pick up a big back who can help us in goal line situations......
As much as I hate to see Brandon leave, if we could move up and accomplish this in the draft, it makes us a much better overall team. McDaniels has a plan.....and it's working. Just will take a little time to accomplish....
