Just a thought,....

But what if we were to trade up to 10 with the Jags for our first and second Rnd picks. And then select Eric Berry followed by,

3 Corey Wootton DT
4 Jordan Shipley WR
5 Kevin Thomas CB /Adrian Tracy LB
6 Ekom Eudofia NT
7 John Connor FB ?

I like Berry. though, I'm almost slightly more in the Thomas camp...
I'd rather see us stay at 18 and maybe draft Nate Allen or Taylor mays in the second (though I think mays is a late first). Gator bias aside, I'd even consider major wright in the third.

Berry won't make it to the 10th slot and Corey Wootton will never last until the 3rd round.

I never would have thought to trade our 1st and 2nd round picks to Jacksonville if Berry fell to #10, and then pick a potential 3-4 DE in round 3! What a genius idea!

I'm a big fan of doing what we need to do to get Berry.

You might be surprised HS. Do you really think that Mike Holmgren takes a DB with no viable option at QB ? And since it's also likely that there will be an early run on the best LT's in the top ten,... and perhaps even a brain fart like someone selecting Dez Bryant,... i think Berry could actually be there at 10. (though i do not think he'd last any longer)

And as far as Wootton,....it's likely that he could drop a bit because of injury concerns. (Much like Heath Miller) And i think he would be an absolute Steal for us. As,....Aaron and Keisel are not getting any younger, and Hood is "just a guy". (IMO)

In the past,.. no i did not advocate taking 3-4 DE's before the fourth rnd,...but now that nearly half of the league will be running the system,...we have to stay ahead of the curve IMO.

i don't think Berry makes it to #10 -

wanna double-up on our chocolate macadamia bet?

[SteelerNation1]

I am almost positive the Stains take him at #7...if he makes it past KC at 5 and TB at 3.
