Also, I thought you couldn't trade compensatory picks?

WR, TE, OL, DT, is my guess.

I would say OL or defense. LB DT or S

Idk why he likes to stockpile 4th and 5th rounders. It isn't like he is all that good at picking in those rounds.

That's not the point. A lot of teams do that. Seattle did it tonight too. They are good depth/possible starter rounds

he loves to stockpile picks for the following reasons:

1. He is a wheeler dealer and his true calling is used car salesman
2. he and his scouting staff have ZERO ability to evaluate talent so he just figures the more chances he takes the better chance he has of finding someone

he is a total and utter debacle of a GM and I can't wait until the Wilfs move on
