the AVT move is definitely gonna garner some scrutiny, but the move was savvy as fuck
1. Joe had 3 OL in his top-10: Sewell, Slater, AVT
2. Joe identified an area of the draft that OL might start getting plucked: 14-23. Vikings (no OL), Pats (lost Thuney), Raiders (no OL) were a major risk to take anyone Joe wanted. Joe didn't play no fuckboy games, he got his guy. alas, it handed the Pats Jones... hopefully he sucks
3. Joe was never NOT gonna come out of day 1 with OL. he is the anti-maccagnan and knows where the games are won. i believe there is a very strong chance his next pick is another OL (Jenkins or Humphrey), with less of a chance of CB or edge.
4. AVT himself is the right guy, cuz he proved he can play OT or G. if Becton is ever hurt, AVT might slide over. but him and Becton on the left creates a problem for defenses when both healthy.
5. the trade was great because he gave up no future capital, maintained the 2nd pick which can still be traded to make up the lost capital, and identified a round with less value (3) to leverage to move into the top 10 of his draft board. tremendous trade.
