I think where the value is in this draft is Rd 3/4 , and we do have a history of trading back in the 2nd round. I think by dropping back 10 spots to @ 60 we still get our guy and gain a 4th and a 7th some team will be desperate to get a WR as FA was slim this year. ex.

trade with GB: #49 for #54  and acquire #124(4th) and #237(7th)

- we can still look to the Vet FA's after the draft to backfill the roster. (Risner, Scherff, Hernandez)

I think we go Defense in Round 1 as well. Either Nolen or Emmanwori to me make the most sense to me right now, we will see.

Agree on the value being in rounds 3 and 4. Would be nice to trade back and add some more picks at some point to get another pick in there.

I was set on Nolan but I've been so nervous about our guard spot that I feel like we can't pass on a guard in the first.

If we were to sign a FA guard (2 would be amazing), or we're certain that we can get a guard in two, then I'd for sure go Nolen because he'll make our ends lives easier by calling for double teams and forcing the quarterback out of the pocket, and our DBs' lives easier by pressuring the quarterback.

I just think we need to make sure Burrow is protected before we do anything else.
