Getting the dead weight off this team is a must. If we can stockpile picks in the last rounds of the draft, we may be able to trade up (example: two 5ths for a 4th) and acquire quality.
The reason would be because we have so many holes to fill. We likely need starters at at least TE, OG, OT, OLB and DE. That is 5 positions. We have two 1's, a 2, 3, and two 4th's. That means one of those starters/heavy contributors is going to have to be a 4th round player, like it or not. And that's if we don't slip another position in there such as DT or SS. One of those positions isn't going to be addressed until the 4th round, and that is scary.
Getting as many picks in the 4th-5th round area is essential for trading purposes. Also, if we are looking to move up from 28 to grab Pettigrew.
