Probably will be a lot of movement in round 2.
Really? I'd much rather it play out the way BEK has it. In fact, I'd be feeling much better about things if it did, but I don't think he falls that far for us.
To me the best players in this draft are almost all gone. There are perhaps five players that could have carried a first round grade and Cyprien is definitely one such guy. Go get him with that fourth rounder, then trade Bess to recoup the pick. It's all about getting great players not just a fill-in here or there. I can always get fill-ins, you can't get Cypriens all the time or Watsons.
You obviously think much more of Cyprien than I do. I personally don't think he's an upgrade over what we already have. Of course all that really matters is what our FO thinks... I think the way he has the mock laid out, if there is one player I would go after, it is definitely Watson. The fact we already squandered one pick for Jordan, we really can't afford to squander anymore..and therefore, going after Armstead is certainly the next best thing to do. I also don't agree that there isn't much talent left. I think there is lots of talent left.
