I just don't see any appreciable difference between the talent likely to be there at 24 and 32. The draft has flattened out considerably at that point.
It's not worth losing a do-everything CB for a season in which we're chasing history for. Even a single season of Sneed should be sold dearly - he's a damn good player and we're trying to win football games.
Damn good players help you do that.

It’s a tough proposition. I get the making history part of this, but if I told you that you could get a competent LT on a cheap rookie contract for 5 years if you traded Sneed for a 3 to do it, you wouldn’t take that?
Competent LT’s are really hard to find. As much shit that Eric Fisher got, he was a competent LT for years. Having a young guy giving you that as a cost controlled asset is huge.
Look at the history of LT’s in the draft. You have to get one in the first rd. And these guys go off the board quick most of the time. QB and LT are so hard to find bc there just aren’t that many talented guys coming out like other positions.
