I don't know but I'd be rather pissed if they gave up more than 12 & 20.

Exactly.... That's why I like Kiper's scenario the most because I think the compensation is fair and doesn't involve anything on our end other than this year's first round picks.

I'm concerned about Bain's athleticism in a 3-4.

That's valid but I think he's versatile enough and a good enough run guy that you can move him around and get tremendous value from him still. But no, I wouldn't drop him.

I think a little space as a 3-4 OLB will help Bain. We're not got to have him covering athletic TE's but rather barreling through or around them.

We still need a dynamic ILB, which is why I'm hoping we can still land Allen, Hill, Or Rodriguez. Maybe the kid from Pitt, Kyle Louis.

If we end up with the likes of Howell, Height, etc., we failed at getting another top shelf rusher.

After Bain who is your top shelf pass rusher? I think that Howell or Lawrence could end up a double digit sack guy at OLBer in the NFL. So I guess from my perspective those are the top shelf pass rushers. Now if you want someone a little bigger, better run stopper there are other options but guys like Faulk, Mesidor, TJ Parker and Zion Young to me will not be top shelf NFL pass rushers. They may give you more in the size and run stopping ability to sort of take on blocks. But I don't see any of them as twitched up OLBers who are going to ever get you 10 sacks.

Booze hates everyone outside of Bailey and Reese.

Hell, he may hate them too.

I'm sorry, he did not sell me. When your big sales pitch starts with height and arm length you've lost me.

I also agree that he has great character but I actually question how hard he is really playing on a down to down basis. I know that some people will disagree but I saw way too much jogging out of him when I watched the film. Just doesn't look like a high energy guy. That's not anything I read, just something I noticed watching him. You don't see that out of some of the other top DE/pass rusher types.

I feel a little gross saying this but give me LT Overton in the fourth instead.

I would go Lawrence over the other two clearly. I betcha teams will reach the hell out of the position because they think the matching tackle class is that weak.
 
So…since we are trading up with Cleveland, are you all sold on Styles?

I am good with the player. I dunno why Downs is more intriguing to me.

I'm not sure why but my gut is telling me all this chatter around us trading up for Styles might be a smokescreen for Downs as the actual target.

He's the perfect fit for how Parker describes his nickel position.

But then I remember who runs our FO and the fact that they can't do anything but blather on about what their exact plans are.
