Name calling doesn't really show your maturity well.
I would argue we didn't trade out of the "sweet spot" of the draft, rather we traded into this years "sweet spot" and hopefully picked up a pick which could put us into next year's draft "sweet spot"
Bottom line is, we passed up on some very good talent, talent that could have helped make this team better, even immediately. Also, we lose out on possibly picking other positions of need, because they didn't address it with pick #28, meaning, using #33 to say pick up an offensive skill position of need, perhaps a deep threat like Torrey Smith, they most likely HAVE to grab a pass rusher at 33. They could have done that at 28. Having Heyward and Smith helps two weaknesses better than an unknown pass rusher at 33 and a #1 pick that'll most likely be traded next year. I'll make it simple, the talent available at 28 and 33 is usually better than the talent available at 33 and 56. Hopefully they use all 3 picks in round 2 on two pass rushers and a deep threat receiver, though I doubt they use all 3 second round picks.
