Lots of Trades

[Pariah]

Despite (or maybe because of?) the talent seeming rather flat from 7-20, I get the feeling there will be a bunch of trades on day-1.

I was thinking the same thing. Now I am even more worried about not winning any of the mock draft contests I entered.

I hope we are able to aquire some extra picks throughout this draft. As deep as it is I would like to get as many selections as possible.

I agree.

Some I see.

If Ellis is on the board when NE picks, NO will move up.

If Ryan is (by chance) when NE picks, Carolina will move up.

NE is sitting pretty, which really seems unfair. There is such a flat line of talent between 8 and 18, any of which they can choose from.

NE is sitting pretty, which really seems unfair.

Especially after having to forfeit their 1st round pick. They should have had to forfeit this one instead.

Fans of every team seem to be of the same opinion. With the uncertainty and shorter pick selection times, this may be a fascinating draft, full of surprises.

How many trades? Last season, there were 18 trades on the first day (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft07/news/story?id=2850327), 15 before pick 62.

I'm not trying to predict the number, but last year there was a lot, that's for sure.

If you're intent on holding my feet to the fire for some reason, I'm going to guess there are about a dozen.

How about 9 in the first 23? Does that count?

Way to call it Pariah.

Hm. All these trades have me wondering if we could move up.

I'd love to get the following guys:
Jamaal Charles/Ray Rice
DeSean Jackson
Antoine Cason

I don't care that we drafted DRC. Cason, DRC, Green at CB would allow ADub to rush even more.

DeSean I feel would be an excellent 3rd WR. ASU had some trouble covering him and I definitely feel he can be a great WR in the league. If we can get 2 of those 4 players, I'd be pumped.

Interesting that the experts were saying that most teams had "just in case" trades with other teams going into today with the new "streamlined" format
