Was projected by some to be a FB/H-back

Do we have details on the trade?

Didn't produce in college. Has some talent.
Probably could've been had as an UDFA.

What did we give up?

I don't get it.

2nd rounder next year.




















And the board goes f***ing nuts.

Our 2010 2nd rounder of course!

Pretty much sums up the day?

safe to say nobody here has ever seen him play.

i wonder what the team is going on

we really traded up in the 7th round?

Hahaha...

We traded a 2010 pick to Miami for this slot.

2010 7th rounder per NFL.com
