I think this trade could be justified on draft day if we could find an impact D Lineman at 31, but I wouldn't gamble on that happening.

Briggs would be our best LB, but this is the type of move that has burned us bad in the past. A potentially (because we don't know how much of his production was simply a product of his situation) overrated linebacker and a non impact 31st pick for the 6th pick in the draft.

I don't like it at all.
