My Top 50

There are few blue-chip players in this draft. Joekel, Lane Johnson, Fisher, Warmack, Cooper, & Tavon Austin. The rest is anybody's guess. Jon Bostic has as much chance to be a good player as Manti Teo. Da'rick Rogers could be just as good as Cordarrelle Patterson, Tyler Bray might be as good as Geno Smith. Brandon Williams as effective as Sylvester Williams. Robert Alford or Dee Milliner. So, if you can trade down, you double your chances that at least one player pans out and you don't pay as much for your 1st pick.

OK then, looks like you did mean to say there not being much difference 1 to 25 and not 25 to 75 as I suspected.
But actually I don't think this years LTs are particularly talented vs their peers in recent years, whereas the 2 guards are clearly exceptional vs any year,
but as we know interior OLine is not considered high-value positions (C/G). Austin looks to be the real wild-card of this draft, and there's no telling how
high he might end up being taken, but looking more and more like top 10 ? He could be the player everybody thought Reggie Bush might be, or he could
end being just too small to take the pounding he's gonna get in the NFL.

I meant there's not much difference between #25 & # 75. This draft is deep, but the talent is not great.

Could see Geno Smith, EJ Manuel, Matt Barkley, Ryan Nasib, & Mike Glennon all being overdrafted in the 1st rund. Considering Ponder, Locker, & Tebow were 1st round picks.
