What will be interesting to see is if the Skins can trade down and still get who they want. Most mocks I've seen are all over the place on the D-linemen. If they want Merriman, they can probably get him at #9. If they are satisfied with one of the other DEs, they can probably trade down and still get a good one.

For example, this updated draft has guys like Cody, Pollack, James, the other Cody, and Roth all going between 18-29......any one of which would be an upgrade at DE IMO. If they are willing to settle for one of those guys, they could easily trade down and acquire a 2nd rounder and pick up a decent WR (this draft is one of the deepest at WR ever.......15 expected to go on day 1). Then you've got a 3rd rounder for a CB, or to add depth to the O-line or TE if no good CB options are left.

I think right now that's what I'm hoping for. Trade down, get a good (but not the best) DE, pick up a 2nd round WR, and take the best available from there. By tomorrow this time I'll probably have changed my mind 3 times, but that's what I'm going with for now.
