The first 17 picks Saturday.

[QUOTE=nero THE zero;83]I understand that a rookie CB can be effective. But, what I'm asking is, would a rookie CB not named DRC or McKelvin change the fact that the best CB on the field is Fred Bennett? They'll both end up playing nickel back for the majority of the season, so I don't see where there's much of a difference in impact there.

I think we are splitting hairs here. We need a future LT, corner and RB. How and when we get them is irrelevant, we just need to get them.

I agree.

I just don't think it'd be prudent (assuming the Texans have Stewart rated ahead of Jenkins) to reach for Mike Jenkins if Jonathan Stewart is there because our need at CB is "greater than" our need at RB.

Ultimately I think we need to either (a)trade down or (b) take the best CB, LT, RB available at pick number 18.

I think the statement about Assuming the Texans have Stewart ahead of Jenkins is very imprtant. I don't have a draft board, and I've watched Stewart a couple of times and Jenkins maybe once. I don't know that I would consider Jenkins a reach at 18. I was high on Stewart early in the season, but not so much later on in the year. I would be happy to have him, but I think I might be more excited about Jenkins.

I'm all about the trade down, but I think the best case scenario is to find a LT wherever we end up picking.
