Also losing Studdard and White is not a huge deal IMO.
Of the DBs I agree we still do not know where some of the young guys stand.

Sure, but we had Pitts last year, who could play the tackle position if needed. Perhaps they feel that way about Wade Smith, but I'm not sure. Anyway, the point is that our youth and depth are actually very good in almost every position (other than safety, RB)... we need to upgrade the
front end of the roster in a couple places: RB, CB, DT, C/G... so, trading down in order to accumulate picks after round 3 seems unlikely to me simply because drafting 6+ players on the final day will likely result in most of those players not making the team, or displacing quality youth and depth already in place.
