The official 2008 draft discussion thread

[Ruhskins]

As a supporter of the CJ trade, I must say that I'm glad things turned out this way. I really didn't know if any teams were going work with us to trade down, and that picking a WR at 21st would be too much. I wonder if the change in $$ that happens between being picked 21st and being picked 34th is different enough to make someone like Devin Thomas work harder to prove himself.

Well I'm avery happy with three picks in the second rounds, given the talent and our needs I think this fits nicely. I really hope the lack of offense was more from the coaching philosophy rather than the need to an explosive receiver. I do hope that Mix and Thomas can contribute to the offense (and that we don't need to go after oldheads at WR)
