I think this last paragraph is right and the frustrating thing is that it's self inflicted because we failed to add a C or OLB in free agency when we had the chance.
We don't have enough early picks to impact the key positions we needed to address this off season which begs for us to trade. Or at least, the odds make pulling off quality at both positions tougher unless we do.
The lamest thing is that a trade, if it happens at all, prob won't materialize until draft night so this week will be extra frustrating.
