Interesting rumor out of STL....(Matt Ryan)
If the Falcons are able to land Glenn Dorsey with the 3rd overall pick, they would pick up the phone and call the Patriots if Matt Ryan was available at 7 and offer all three of their 2008 2nd round picks. (34/37/48)
The value chart shows the Falcons package to be worth 1510 on the chart, while the 7th overall pick is worth 1500. Interesting, to say the least. |

Not surprised, If that scenario breaks out and the Chiefs reached for an OT and passed on Ryan it will not be pretty.

What does "it will not be pretty" mean?. You've been arrogantly dismissing those who wanted OT over DL or Ryan for months - saying they don't understand the draft. Well, Bill Parcells knows a hell of a lot more about the draft than me or you and he just picked Long. I personally have become very high on Ryan and want to see him a Chief, but Branden Albert or Ryan Clady may be the next Willie Roaf - who knows?

I think you are too obsessed with rules - teams in situation X cannot trade down, position Y can't be drafted top 10, etc. etc. These rules are bad attempts to make complex, highly variable decisions simple - and I can find historical cases where each of them fail. I understand your schtick, but my suggestion is that you open your mind and embrace the complexity. It will humble you when you realize things aren't as simple as you think. And no one's got a perfect record. Your beloved AJ Smith took Sammy Davis in the first round. And his last 1st round pick in Buffalo (with Jerry Butler) was Erik Flowers. |

Jesus, the Patriots would be all over that.
Only team in the way of that would be us. If it plays out as I think it will, we're going to choose between Ryan and Ellis. What if the Falcons called us up and offered at least two of their second rounders and their 1st in 2009, assuming we already had the first from the Vikings? We could do this all day... |

Five picks in the first two rounds could be huge. 7 picks in the first three rounds. |

If we had the 17th from Minnesota, I'd probably take the same offer, even though it's 190 points short on the value chart. Maybe ask for a 2009 2nd rounder or something, but if they balked, I'd take the 3 in the 2nd. So we'd have picks at: 17 34 35 37 48 66 73 105 136 140 170 187 210 239 14 picks......if used correctly.....a damn great start to a rebuilt franchise. |

I'd personally rather have Sedrick Ellis than to do this.
