Picking in the 7-10 range of the NFL draft gets you a nice player at a much more reasonable price. I don’t think NFL teams tank a season like they do in the NBA because of the cost involved.

Peterson is the best playmaker in the draft and also a shut down corner. He's got good size and is faster than Prince. And do you think teams don't play their hardest to put them in position to get a lower pick? There is no reason why we should skip Peterson if he’s there.

Reality is that if we are #3 or #4 we probably won't be able to trade. If forced to pick early, take the CB. Come back in rd 2 and get a LB like Bruce Carter or Greg Jones. In rd 3 and on take linemen on both sides of the ball. Trade down is ideal, because we could then get a top flight OLB and interior lineman such as Pouncy or the kid from Penn State.
