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.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
