Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
I'm happy even if the draft chart says we were on the losing end of that trade. We hit the sweet spot of the draft (i.e., 2nd-4th).

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
I think the trade was a smart move. We now have three, 2nd round picks, our Comp. 3rd round pick and a fourth round pick and our 6th and 7th rounders.
I like the trade, more picks. We gave up a 21 in the first round and a late third round, and a 5th. For two early second round picks and a fourth. Has anyone looked at the points of the trade? The warpath site is barely functional, everyone else having the same problem?

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
Financially, it's a great trade. The 34 and 48 picks should be easier to sign and cheaper than a 1st rounder.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
Why does Ed Werder only seem to cover the Boys? ESPN doesn't seem to have a Redskins, Giants, or Eagles beat reporter.

As for why no Redskins, they tried many years ago with David Alridge but the Redskins were not very cooperative and it wasn't worth it. It would be great for example if they could be in the Redskins War Room but they need permissioin and the Redskins simply won't grant it.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
In the second round, how much time between picks?

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
yet more Jlac, with his correction:
The Full Trade (We Were Given Wrong Info From the Team, Here's The Full Details Now) Here's The Trade, as the team now reports it to us in the media room: Skins get the 34th and 48th and 103 pick Skins trade 21 overall, 84 overall (third round), and 154 (5th round) So they had two third and a fifth round pick originally, and now have the following picks. 34, 48 and 51 in the second round 96 in the third round 103 in the 4th round they dont have a 5th round pick now they have 1 sixth round pick and 3 in the 7th round (two comp picks there) Sorry for the confusion. Skins still end up right now with 9 overall picks. It's obviously not the fleecing that was first announced here in the media room, not close, but still a nice deal.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
S+C, Don't you think Kenny Phillips is going to go to the Giants at #31?
I'm thinking we get a DE (Calais Campbell) and Jordy Nelson in the 2nd round...

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
thats what people are saying. id love to have him. the only reason i want him to go ahead of us is to keep the canes steak of first round pick for x number of years in a row, 9 i think. or this will be 9. but hes going to be a stud, top 10 in the league easily. (which sucks to cmpare him to taylor who would have been top 5 all time....)

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
Wow. The way things are going, we'll have three top 100 prospects. With other teams 'reaching' for guys not so well known, we could end up with at lest two. Come on Kentwan Balmer and Jordy Nelson!
