Make Moves To Pick Up Decastro Plus A Dt?

What do you guys think of trading our first pick to NE for their two firsts, then taking one of them and our second to trade into the middle of the first round and a third.

Then take DeCastro with the first pick, someone like Worthy or Jenkins with the second first rounder and then a LB with the third rounder.

It shores up the LG spot for the next 10 years, gives us a starter at either DT or CB and a backup LB.

Thoughts?

I would love to trade our 9 for both of NEs firsts, but other than that, this is a pretty whacky scenario.

That's the way I feel.

We get both of NE's 1s, then pick up Worthy and Jenkins at the back-end of the first and Brown or Spence in the 2nd, and we could be set for a long, long time.

If there is any position where a number 1 pick is not necessary it is guard. Now to find the next left tackle for the next decade, perhaps. Bell did a credible at right tackle for a rookie and was an UDFA. That would be a total waste of a pick when you could get the 6th or 7th best guard in the draft in the 3rd or 4th round.

there are more than enough talented, starting caliber OGs in this draft that will be available from rounds 2-4 without having having to spend a first on one.

btw...decastro is no more guaranteed to be a perennial pro-bowler/all-pro than any others we would pick up in the next couple rounds nor is the position vital enough to pass over talented guys at CB, DT, or LB. we can get by much better with lesser talent at OG than we can with lesser talent at some of those other positions.

if we were to score those extra picks, i would use the first couple on some combination of DT/CB/LB and then use the third pick on an OG if we were committed to picking another up (which i actually think they should).

that's a lot of shuffling around, btw, and i'm not sure it would be worth it just to get a 3rd rounder.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
