[Dunleavy]

[st.cronin]

Big move by Jacksonville. Gotta be Derrick Harvey.

[st.cronin]

Derrick Harvey at 8?

[Dunleavy]

wow NOS got a really good deal. dealt a 3 for and got a 5 back

[Swaggs]

This has to include an '09 #1, no?

[Arles]

Pats get #10 and NO's 3rd
NO gets #7 and NE's 5th

Good trade for NE

[st.cronin]

I like that deal for NE. They may be able to get somebody like Godfrey from Iowa in the 3rd.

[Sublime 2]

This gives the Pats three 3rd rounders correct?

Yea I would think it had to. No way you can move from 26 to 8 using only this years picks.

it's a win win deal but thats great value for NOS

[Eaglesfan27]

Crazy move by Jacksonville.

[st.cronin]

Harvey should be good, I like that pick for Jacksonville.

[Swaggs]

If I were a prospect, I think I would turn off my cell phone while Cincy is on the clock.

[14ers]

New Orleans really got a great deal in getting Sedric Ellis. HE was the last of the top tier players. I had 5 guys in this years draft who could of all gone #1 overall and Ellis was one of them.


I think the Patriots got hosed in this trade when you consider the talent of Sedric Ellis vs what will still be available at #10. And to do this move and only having to swap your 3rd for a 5th is a steal for New Orleans.

[Dunleavy]

rivers goes 9

CB to the pats at 10

KCC trades up for Albert at 11?

[kcchief19]

I don't see Harvey being a reach really. I think Harvey and Merling are the the best DEs left and both would be gone by No. 26. I can still see 2-3 teams going DE between now and even No. 20. If he's the guy you want, you gotta make a deal at some point, since I didn't see Harvey sliding past maybe No. 13.


Unfortunately for my draft picks, I think Baltimore will end up with Brian Brohm -- just not where I picked him to go.

[Thomkal]

Be interesting to see who my beloved Cards go with at #16. For a long time now I thought it had to be RB, but now it seems like they are going to go CB. Rumors are still out there too about trading Boldin to the Cowboys for one (?) of their first rounders. Hope that doesn't happen. Bit excited too that the Cards are interested in local product WR Jerome Simpson from Coastal Carolina

[JetsIn06]

Wow

Says Ravens got two 3's and a 4. WTF?

[Lathum]

wow, no '09 pick from the Jags

His production was subpar for a few years. He might be good, but he is far from a sure thing and to trade away a future #1 (which I'm assuming they had to do - about to see the details now) for a risky player seems like a bad move to me.

Now, that I see they didn't give up a future 1st, I don't dislike the trade as much.

[st.cronin]

I have a feeling at least one of Ellis or Rivers will be very disappointing. USC's defense was very good, but to have TWO top 10 players?

[JetsIn06]

Dola

Again, how do you move up from 26 to 8 without giving up a 1st next year?

If you look at the new chart some teams now use, you get this going to NE:

10+78 = 3900 points

They sent this to NO:

7+164 = 3076

Anyway you slice it, great deal for NE

consider the cost-saving too though? maybe you have to factor that in? although IMO I agree with you

[Swaggs]

Although I wouldn't be overly excited about Harvey, it doesn't seem like Jax gave up that much to move up as far as they did.

[Thomkal]

lol at the no reaction at the Bengals draft party after they announced the pick

[Thomkal]

Man Ravens got a steal with that trade.

The Pats weren't going to take Ellis there anyway - the Saints knew it and made a good trade.

The Pats upgrade from a 5th to a 3rd, and save some cap cash by picking the guy they would have taken at #7 at #10. It ain't much, but it's a value play.

I saw this too. Wow. Talk about excited!

[MikeVic]

Thanks Lathum for the link. I click on NFL Draft links and ESPN, and get Speed channel though. I'll just follow it through here.

I don't have ESPN, and the three sports channels here are showing hockey, basketball, and table tennis.

[Arles]

BTW, it's a "BETA" chart some teams are looking at that adds value to the mid 1st to the 3rd.

[MikeVic]

Now it's mixed badminton lol...

forget the trade chart. NOS gets a top player without giving up too much. NEP gets to move down, win win

They were the two best players on the defense, so I'm not surprised. The big problem with USC's defense last year was at cornerback.

[Dunleavy]

if you want a QB late 1 you better trade ahead of the ravens

[Sublime 2]

I wonder if the Pats make a surprise pick of Clady or Albert?

[st.cronin]

Curveball!

[Sublime 2]

Hmmm surprising.

[Arles]

Mayo's a GREAT fit for NE. Love the pick.

[Dunleavy]

the Lions wanted Harvey, backup plan Mayo. time for plan C

they need a RT or my boy mendenhall

[Arles]

Man, Mike Mayock is on fire. He's called both the Harvey and Mayo picks.

[DaddyTorgo]

Mayo?? never heard of him...*shrug* okay

[MikeVic]

WR for Lions.

[Lathum]
