I wish we were much smarter last off season which would make going after CJ a no brainer, I believe that CJ is worth going after regardless of the cost he's that good. I would like to keep next years picks intact if at all possible. If we can't get him then I say start trading down when we are on the clock, I would trade down at least twice there are a lot of LB's, CB, and safeties that will be available in the late first and second round, I would probably target them with hopefully a couple of second rounders we get from trading down, and use our #1 on a offensive guard, I feel it is more important to protect Campbell, and open holes for the running game, than it is to draft a lineman, with this scenerio we can get at least 3 very good players to address a lot of needs, instead of 1 D-lineman. Then we have next years draft intact to go after D-line help. I can't say I disagree with thier assesment on the D-linemen this year, I could see potential bust in almost everyone of them. CJ guaranteed star.

This may be a year we have to tighten our belts with D-linemen and make do with what we have, a healthy Salavea, along with Griffen, and Golston to give them both rest isn't bad, the rest will have to step up. Adding a bonified safety to pair with Taylor and another CB could go a long way into giving the D-line a little extra time to get to the QB.
