A Question From A Daydream Scenario

Recently, I've looked at some highlights from David DeCastro such as this one.....

..and the boy can ball!

So this got me thinking. Firstly, the first part of this scenario is a daydream, because it's not likely to happen. So don't flame me concerning it, I really want to hear honest opinions when it comes to the question. (Not necessarily opinions about the daydream part of it, only if the daydream part of it comes to past, would you consider doing what my question is about to ask.)

Here's the scenario......

Both the Vikings and the Rams pass on Matt Kalil, and he falls to our number nine spot. Now here's the question. Would you consider trading back up to the 10th spot, to draft David DeCastro? Is that O-line overkill? B)

My answer would be yes, and I would offer this year's 2nd, and next year's 1st + 3rd. The major problem with this is obvious, it means less draft picks to improve our defense. Yet the major problem with defense last year was the injuries to our linebacking core. (We essentially only had one linebacker on the field in James Anderson) So I would be putting all my eggs in the one basket with Beason returning back to full health, and finding a good linebacker in the later rounds of the draft if TD can't go. I feel we got good competition in the safety ranks in free agency. (Nakamura and Reggie Smith. Possibly Reggie Smith could be moved to corner as well)

So again, if Kalil were to drop to us, would you trade back up to the 10th spot and draft DeCastro?

So my draft would be a little something like this.....

9th pick: Matt Kalil

10th pick: David DeCastro

4th round pick: Josh Norman

5th round pick: Miles Burris (I believe it was Thomas Daivs who said we are going to blitz a lot)

      I hate to burst anyones bubble but this guy played 188 total defensive snaps in three years but 802 special teams snaps. If we do kick the tires, it's probably gonna be for that latter part.

      I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.
