Trading Back-What could we get for the #6 pick? Is it worth it?

Alabama game didn't help. Needs a good week at the Senior Bowl. 

I don’t think he was really bad or anything. Sacked like 7 times, Cinci’s line got dominated but managed to not make mistakes although couldn’t make anything really happen. 

If the talent surrounding him argument comes into play with Willis (IE when he played Corral and was lost), he still had games against UL Monroe and even the Raging Cajuns where he was just downright bad.

I guess the rocket arm and upside factors in THAT much nowadays. I’m just surprised.

Someone is going to take him in the top 10. He is worth it. 

You are probably correct but he will need a lot of work and time IMO.  Obviously some skills there but a gamble on greatness for sure.

He worries me as a passer pretty much in every aspect except pure arm strength 

Also, very worrisome that he couldn’t win the #2 QB slot at Auburn before he transferred

We know. But you don't want to go through the list of 1st round OL busts over the last two decades. OL used to be one of the safest 1st round picks a team could make but they has gotten dumped on its head in the past 20 years. 

That's all I'm saying here. That "OL safe pick" myth is dead.

 

Oline picks in the top 10ish are far less likely to bust.   I already did a post on this detailing it.

    • It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth 
    • The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on. 
    • Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
