Well you can get 1 Pro-Bowler (Okoye) or two starters that might pan out. Tommie Harris is greater than Tank Johnson and Bernard Berrian. Remember in 2003 when the Cardinals traded down from 6 to 17 and 18. At 6 they could have taken Kevin Williams, Terrance Newman, Jordan Gross, Byron Leftwich, Terrell Suggs, or Marcus Trufant. Instead they ended up with Calvin Pace and Bryant Johnson.
Then again nothings a gurantee as far as the drafts concerned. I say stay pat a 6 and take Okoye, or trade down to 12 and take Cariker. Other than that keep all of next years pick. Usually when theres a bad draft then you can be fairly confident that the next one will be loaded with talent.
