I think the critical question regarding this trade is whether we missed out on an impact player at one of the positions we need (o-line, d-line, WR)? Safe to say we didn't miss much at WR because they're dropping so far this year around, but the other positions are a real concern. By definition, a 1st round pick should make an immediate impact while players chosen in later rounds often must be coached up to play at the professional level. We needed an immediate infusion of talented youth across the oline (save for Samuels) and across the dline (save for Carter).

IMO we won't know whether this trade made any sense until we see who starts this season (not just for us but on other teams w/ regard to players we could have had between 21st and 34th). If indeed we gave up an immediate impact player where we need one, meaning none of our draftees start while draftees chosen between 21st and 34th do start, the trade probably did not make sense.

Hopefully Kiper's adoration of Ceratto's scouting ability really shows up in this trade and draft year.

I feel like a nervous wreck.
