4 & 7 or 5 & 6 Draft Picks? - Originally received on 07/21/07
Question from: Brian

     Question - In our supplemental draft, I have the choice between picking 4 & 7 or 5&6. The first three picks are pretty much set to be Romo, Peterson and Quinn. I am leaning towards taking Calvin Johnson at 4. If I do, Lynch and Colston should go 5-6, and I can grab Travis Henry at 7, with Russell or Cotchery also still available. If I go 5-6, it is iffy whether Lynch or CJ goes four, leaving me with the other and Colston or Henry.

     If I go four, most likely scenario is I get CJ/Henry.
     If I go five, most likely scenario is I get CJ/Colston.
     Ideally, I would go five and get Lynch/Colston, but I think Lynch is less likely to be there at five than CJ.

     Am I wrong to prefer Colston over Henry where once a player is selected, he is basically on a roster for life? Lyncy vs. CJ is basically a coin flip for me, but I am stronger at WR than RB.

     Would you take the four-seven, or five-six?

     Answer - I would take the 4 and 7 pick if the first 3 picks are set like you said and this situation. I would then go for Lynch at the 4th pick. I like CJ a lot, but prefer RBs over WRs. Especially in your situation where you are stronger at WR than RB.

     If Lynch does get drafted, I would then try to draft CJ if possible or even A. Peterson if he did not get drafted at the 2nd pick. Then at 7 I would probably draft another RB to help your team out at that position.
