Brown opts to go to Denver

I wonder if there aren't any true "studs" left with out pick if we could trade our pick and end up with a combination of a good DE/CB.

This is a possibility, and I have a few ideas how it could go down, especially considering that we should look at WR in the draft also. I will offer several different scenarios, one which gets a CB, one which gets a DE first, one which gets a WR first, etc. and we can see how everyone likes either one. Both assume that we trade with the Saints, although obviously there are a few other teams that would want to trade up. I assume that the Saints are moving up to get Derrick Johnson, and we get our 2nd rounder (#40) back from them as compensation for moving down.

Option 1 (CB, DE, WR): We select Carlos Rogers at 16, Justin Tuck or Matt Roth at 40, and perhaps Vincent Jackson, Matt Jones, or Fred Gibson at 76. The flaw here of course is that the Chiefs might take Rogers at 15, thus screwing our plan.

Option 2 (CB, WR, DE): We select Rogers at 16, Chris Henry or Reggie Brown at 40, and Jovan Haye at 76.

Option 3 (DE, WR, CB): We select Erasmus James at 16, Henry or Brown at 40, and perhaps Darrent Williams, Stanley Wilson, or Domonique Foxworth at 76.

Option 4 (DE, CB, WR): We select James at 16, Marlin Jackson or Bryant McFadden at 40, and Jackson/Jones/Gibson at 76.

Option 5: (WR, CB, DE): We select Troy Williamson or Roddy White at 16, Jackson or McFadden at 40, and Haye at 76.

Option 6: (WR, DE, CB) We select Williamson/White at 16, Tuck/Roth at 40, and Williams/Wilson/Foxworth at 76.

My favorite option remains staying at 9 and taking Mike Williams, then probably adding Stanley Wilson at 76. But of these trade down options, I probably prefer the first one which which could add C. Rogers, J. Tuck, and V. Jackson.

Any other opinions on this?
