I've thought heavily about trading down, particularly if Dennard and Gilbert are both gone. This is a scenario that I could live with. We address the need at corner, get some true burners at receiver (I'm counting De'Anthony Thomas as a receiver also lol), getting a potential monster on the d-line with Dominique Easley, competition for the starting center position, and I like the McCollers pick as well. I can see a guy like that being active, specifically for games against teams like Seattle, Green Bay and any other team with bruising backs that can run up the middle. Unfortunately it doesn't fit our scheme and I don't see our coaching staff adapting- yet (maybe we finally see some changes in offensive and defensive philosophy).

I like this mock, more so the moving out of the 1st round part. In a team as stacked as ours with all the young talent and players coming off of injury that we have their is no reason to clog the roster full of players who will get cut or rot away on the bench. Moving a pick forward can delay you but never hurt you as much as drafting the wrong player.

While I really, really like most of the players you chose, I would suggest reconsidering the McCullers pick. The guy is big and worthless. Not the effective NT his size would lead you to believe. However, in that spot, you may be able to get Justin Ellis, who is almost as big, and a much better player.
