A look back at the 2008 draft

[MTK]

Looks like we'll be getting an extra 5th rounder back from the Saints for the Brown deal.

That is cool, I think Brown will be better next year after having a year under his belt from the surgery. Look at Kevin Garnett and plenty others the year after their surgery they always come back better.

And a 6th (I believe) for Justin Tryon

Nice, so we'll have some ammo to move back up if we want

To, like, the fourth round.

Which, admittedly, is a vast improvement from the past.

Well, I could see Cooley gone, for a 3/4th so if we add that with the 5th and 6th we could get a 2nd. Of course if we gave up our 1st we could get 7 7ths, and than we could have wrapped up all the draft picks and still be home for dinner.

Tight ends are the currency of passing offense. We should hold both the TEs and learn to get them both the ball. If they don't combine for 1,000 receiving yards and 8-10 TDs, that's on the coaches and the quarterback, not the TEs.

That was one of the most convoluted trades I had seen. Also doesn't seem like we will lose the 2012 pick. I wonder if that played any factor to Heyer getting so many snaps in place of Brown.

Glad the Saints get our higher pick, and Philly gets a little less.

That turns out to be some really good negotiating by Allen, at least where Brown in concerned. It also looks like Allen & co. were able to keep this part of the deal under raps for a couple of months. I mean Philly would've had to agree to it when they traded mcnabb, yet this deal was consumated in June, mcnabb traded in april. there may be something that NO is getting from philly as well, otherwise it wasn't much for them.

Overall, we got McNabb, Brown & a 5th.
We gave up a 2nd, 3rd, 4th
