Green has said repeatedly he drafts BPA period, doesn't care about need or what position a guy plays. My point was if that's true whether Henry is finalized or not, if the BPA is a RB, Green will take him if he follows his BPA mantra.
The reason I think he wants to wait is Green doesn't WANT to make that deal until he knows the guy he wants is gone. I think we could see a draft day scenario were say Benson goes and within minutes ESPN is saying FYI the Cards just traded LJ Shelton to Buffalo for Travis Henry.
The rest of my post was to point out Green really doesn't draft BPA he drafts BPA according to need. Unless you honestly believe that in many of his worst drafts he had all those crappy DL's rated ahead of good players at other positions and not that he needed DL and reached repeatedly in those years to get them.
I still say the way things are now Green will take a CB at 8 and tell ESPN "well Rolle/Rogers/Jones was the top rated player on our board so we took him."
I think he wants to make sure Brown doesn't drop to 8. Once he's gone, then i think the trade gets done. I would think Green's top 5 are Brown, Rolle, Smith,DJ,Rogers basing on who may be available at 8.
