Some guys have fallen that we thought would go in the 1st. We know that IF you find 2 starters in any draft, you've done well.
Why not trade up and get another OT and then a CB, WR, LB, or TE?
We have the picks to do it.

I'm uncertain on this. We could move up more substantially in rounds 3, 4 or 5 by using some of our 6ths
I see nine guys right now that could have gone in round 1. Taylor, Murphy, Metcalf, Williams, Risner, McCoy, Ford, Brown, and Gardner Johnson.
But I'm no forecaster..there could be a run on these guys as well.

I would definitely trade up to get better quality because there is going to be some really good talent in the second round. I mean they have the extra picks. So why not go for quality over quantity.

The case for drafting another Tackle is Glenn is injured a lot and has been for 3 years. And when he played, he was below average to average. Plus, the new Tackle would replace Glenn in a year or 2. Also, Williams while a great pick, isn't enough to totally fix the line as there are a lot of issues on it. So we do need more depth.
The case against another Tackle is that we have a lot of needs.

I think we were planning to draft Bush and then trading back into the 1st to get an OL (whoever was available).
-That which we need most, will be found where we want to visit least.-

We would have to give up quite a bit to move up in the second round. 6th round picks won't do it.
My position is that moving up doesn't always get you a better player. I think your chances of finding a good player are increased more by having more picks than moving up a few slots.
