A lot of money to spend, all of draft picks, and only 3-4 spots to fill in (RB,TE,DE and LB). I wouldnt be surprise.

Just not sure. We certainly don't need to move up to 6th again.

Manti Te'o is about the only top-15 player I could see us going after. But that is essentially saying that Dent is a complete bust.

There are no RB's really ranked in the top 20 at this point either. Ball, Bernard, Ellington, and Bell are all late 1st to mid 2nd projections at this moment.

Could we move up for a DE, DT, or OG? I doubt it. Those are huge gambles. WAY bigger bust potential than anything else and you know TD and Smitty, they are big percentage guys. They're not going to give away the farm for anything less than a sure thing.

Julio was a sure thing. And there was zero question about that on their part. The ONLY thing close to a sure thing in the top 20 that I can see is Manti Te'o. Jarvis Jones also maybe? I don't know. I'm a giant UGA fan, and Jarvis sure as hell can make some big plays, but he also disappears for games and I just get that odd sense that he only turns it on when he wants to turn it on, and that's not all the time. I think he can mail it in when he's feeling lazy and that bothers me.

I think we go DE in FA, possibly move back out of the first round to pick up an extra 2nd and 3rd round and try to fill RB, TE, CB, and LB all between rounds 2 and 3.

However, if Te'o was still there at #12-15 by some remarkable chance, I would be ecstatic as hell if we moved up to get him. It wouldn't cost us near as much as Julio did to move up that far either. Maybe next year's 1st and this year's 4th, at most. But I don't think Te'o makes it past 10, is the problem.
