The "Bradford Insurance Policy."
Trade down...
If we wouldn't have let the world know we were salivating over GRobber...
Make the trade back with Buffalo...
This is what happens...
1) Draft Aaron Donald (DT) at 8 - Pro Bowler
2) Draft Zack Martin (G) at 13 - Pro Bowler (remember we were going to trade up until Dallas grabbed him)
3) Get Buffalo's 2015 1st rounder giving us 2 again in 2015.
We could have used that ammo to trade up for a QB or a#1 WR in 2015. How would you like Amari Cooper?
Oh...what could have been.
Instead we drafted "upside" on a guy who ran 6 plays in college.
And if that happened, on that day, I would have been disappointed...thinking we got good players, but not the safety I wanted...but I would have been 100% wrong. Donald is better than I thought, far better and Martin is better than I thought.
I wanted Matthews and a safety---whoever they thought was best, but Donald and Martin would have been off the charts good.
