What we did last year seemed ok and of course we have to wait and see how our top three picks develop, but trading away your 1st round talent opportunity year after year is a recipe for longterm mediocrity IMHO. It can't just be about grabbing more youth... top talent is necessary to be a great team.
Word (see the last paragraph of post #14). Last year we had the 21st pick in the draft, this year we're 8 spots higher. That's potentially a huge difference in terms of talent.

Hopefully. I struggle in knowing how big the difference might be (even in the same year) because I don't follow college football, but if memory serves I believe the 3 offensive tackles taken in the first 16 picks started all year for their teams... beyond there were no consistent starters. Again going off hearsay cause I don't follow college, this draft seems unusually deep w/ o-line talent so if there's a standout OLB @ 13 great take him but the next pick really has to be o-line and a legit starter rather than a project.
