    I hate getting cute with the draft and mocking trades is both a complete shot in the dark yet almost a given with Casserio. So just for fun:

    1.28 to NYJ for 2.33 & 4.103
    4.106 & 4.128 to Miami for 3.87

    2.33 Pregnon, OG - Oregon
    2.38 Christen Miller, DT - Georgia
    2.59 Josiah Trotter, LB - Missouri
    3.69 Keylan Rutledge, IOL - Georgia tech
    3.87 Michael Trigg, TE - Baylor
    4.103 Austin Barber, OT - Florida
    5.165 Kendal Daniels, S/LB - Oklahoma
    7.244 Dean Connors, RB - Houston
    7.245 Tyren Montgomery, WR - Casserio U

    Juat an FYI, I'd have signed Braden Smith (RT), Charlie Kolar (TE) & Tyler Allgeier (RB) prior to the draft with money saved by cutting Mixon and Schultz (unless he'd cut his cap # significantly).

    He is definitely one of my favorite OT prospects

    As much as I want him and he would be the building block to this O Line, I don't see Nick doing it................if he is going to get $20 mill per year, that's probably to $$...............can we do $10 million for Hall and then $10 million for an above average Center

    Linderbaum would be a proven and MONOLITHIC addition to our OL at our greatest position of need. To me Linderbaum is this off-season's #1 get.

    Per PFF he's the 4th rated center in the league. He's a proven veteran in his prime. He would be our best OL the moment he signed. To me he's a must-get.

    I definitely could see it, Price is special.

    However I would rather see an OL/DL picked at 1-28.
