we get 2 2nd's and a 4th

We give up a first, third and fifth.

Seems a wash, not like we took em to the cleaners.

It's from work. We're getting new PDAs this summer though. My inbox is getting flooded by my various spies at the draft. They're all saying different things, so they might as well be telling me nothing :)
Matty's server is getting crushed right now too.

The picks from ATL look good. Their two 2nds, and 4th for our 1st, 3rd & 5th.

From JLac: "UPDATE - Get Falcons, 34th, 48th picks in the second round, plus a 4th rounder"

two 2nds and a 4th from ATL for our 1st, 3rd, and 5th

- Per Smootsmack

I do not like this trade. We needed to get more than that. Giving up our 3rd is bad news.

2nd round galore! I like, very very much!

Skins Make A Helluva Deal

Getting 3 picks for this pick, one the team was never married to and one where it may have required a stretch given their needs, makes all the sense in the world.

They get 2 second round picks - 34 and 48 overall - and also get a 4th round pick, which they previously lacked (103 overall). So the Skins pick 34, 48 and 51 in the second round, then have two third round picks as well.

You can not load up on needs at O and D Line in that 2-3rd round range, and you are still going to be able to get a quality WR as well. Maybe not with as much upside, but kids like Simpson from Coastal Carolina could be excellent in the third round even if they don't take Kelly or Nelson in the second round.

Merling might be there with the 34th pick as well.

I love the trade. That gives us 3 2nd rounders, 1 3rd, 1 4th, 1 6th and 3 7ths.

Sad to lose that thrid rounder, but happy to have two more twos.

Umm, I don't like it.

We should have been done with getting the additional 2nd round picks. NOT giving up our 3rd and 5th.
