With the lack of top FA's and all our holes, we need to manufacture another 2nd round pick. The only way to do that is trade back from 4 to say 9 (Saints). I don't see the Raiders at 6 or Jets at 7 as trading partners, and Carolina at 8 doesn't own a 2nd round pick. If by chance Hunter falls to us at 4, he will be tough to pass on, but NO should be all over it and we might get more than just their 2nd.
With the #40 pick, we now can do this:
- with pick 9, take OT Campbell (or Banks if Campbell's gone)
- move up from 38 to the mid 20's (23-26) by giving up pick 77 - take WR Golden
- with the high 2nd round pick 40, take the best front-7 player available
- with the high 3rd round pick 69, take BPA, probably also front-7 but maybe TE
