First and foremost before we waist another draft, we need to get both Gruden and Bruce Allen out of there. They seem to either screw it up completely or draft a one year wonder like Clayton and Williams.
Now to business, I’m all about trading down to the 10-12 pick range. These picks usually produce great players that don’t have the pressure or risk of the top picks. I think the goal should be to get at least 6 picks in the first 3 rounds. That should be able to infuse the defense with some young, good talent and leave a couple picks to use on offense if a good player falls to us.
Let’s get some defenders out on the field. Since Gruden has been there all we’ve done is let our good defenders get older, slower and we try to replace them with 4th -7th rounders. Let’s put some good players on the field.
Don’t go after a QB in the top of the first round. Really look back, when was the last Super Bowl that was won by a QB drafted in the top 5? If the rest of the team is strong a QB in the mid-first round or lower can win.
