A Question From A Daydream Scenario

[Matthias]

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)

This thread reminds me of the trick test where there were a lot of outlandish wack-a-doodle questions but it turns out all you were supposed to do was write your name on the paper.

Long term I think it would be brilliant, but short term it still ignores our biggest needs.

You're fixing the wrong side of the ball..
