Certainly that's a major part of it.

so, what's the scoop on Brown then?

teams don't usually bail on young, signed, LTs

Yeah, something would have to be up there. Perhaps his injury is really slowing him down.

QFT.

I've never had much interest in trading down, but if for some reason there's even a sliver of truth to this, we need to try and pull it off.

And FWIW, they've been (Saints) talking about moving up for Dorsey OR Ellis for a week to ten days.

They have to get ahead of at least Cincinnati, who will absolutely take Ellis if he's there.

And I don't see the Rams moving down that far, at any cost. Not from what I've heard/read around town for the last month.

Probably why our name has been brought into discussions.

So which is the better scenario for us: it goes Dorsey, Ryan, Gholston/McFadden so that we can draft Chris Long, or it goes Long, Ryan, Gholston/McFadden so we can draft Dorsey or trade him for Jamal Brown and #10?

Not even sure which to root for (but I'm definitely going to be rooting for Atlanta or a trade partner to call Matt Ryan's name).

It seems like the Saints feel they have enough depth to replace him and that he doesn't get along with the coaches real well. Most Saint's fans seem to think trading him is a retarted move.

Sounds pretty good to me as well. I think I could live with it.

I don't either, but my guess is the Rams are taking Dorsey, which is why if this trade happens, I think it's with them and not us. I don't think there's any way on earth Dorsey makes it to 5.

I don't see the 'aints making the same trade for Ellis.

The Rams have "all but ruled out" a trade down, according to ESPN's John Clayton.
Apparently the Rams aren't serious about pursuing New Orleans' offer of Jammal Brown, assuming it's true. Clayton says St. Louis doesn't want to move all the way to No. 10. The Saints now are expected to turn their efforts to Sedrick Ellis, which could lead to a deal with Baltimore or New England.

I don't have a link, I got it off another board, but it's from rotoworld.

thanks

Wow, there's a radio guy from Atlanta on with Petro right now, and he says "don't be surprised if the Falcons take Albert at 3, if they stay put". Apparently he's spent a few days in Atlanta in the last week, and nobody's talking about it. He then took him as his mock pick in the 2-minute drill draft Soren's doing.

It's also pretty clear that he doesn't know his asshole from his elbow. Last night in ESPN's mock when Gholston was taken at #4, McDickHead threw a fit, saying he has Gholston at 15. I would say his analysis is unwatchable, but it does contain a lot of comedic value, so that redeems him a tiny bit.

:eek: I can't remember the last time a player has shot up the charts like Albert has.

So where does our BPA go....if the trade happens.

We get Jammal Brown and the #10 pick.

So now we have our LT and we still pick #10 and #17.

Do we then try and trade back up with the Pats to #7 to draft Ryan if he's still there?

Do we stay put and grab a DE at #10?

Who do we grab at #17? Mike Jenkins the CB?
