Marcus Stroud to the Bills for a R3 pick.

Redskins to Broncos. The Washington Redskins traded their fourth-round selection in 2008, and their third-round selection in 2007 (used to select Ryan Harris) to the Denver Broncos as part of a three-team trade in which Washington received T.J. Duckett and Atlanta received Ashley Lelie. (This was the result of a formula which could have had Denver and Washington swapping 2007 first-round selections.)

Saints to Jets. The Saints traded their fourth-round selection in 2008 to the Jets, for Jonathan Vilma.

Jets to Panthers. The New York Jets traded their third-round and fifth-round selections to the Carolina Panthers in a deal that sent Kris Jenkins to New York.

Dolphins to Chiefs. Miami (conditionally) traded its fifth-round selection in 2008 to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for Trent Green. The selection would have become a fourth-round selection if Green had met certain performance criteria.

Bears to Bills. Chicago (conditionally) traded their fifth-round selection in 2008 to Buffalo in exchange for Darwin Walker. The round of the selection may change, depending on Walker's playing time.

Panthers to Bears. The Carolina Panthers traded their fifth-round selection in 2008 to Chicago in exchange for Chris Harris.

Broncos to Rams. Denver traded their sixth-round selection in 2008 to the St. Louis Rams for defensive tackle Jimmy Kennedy.[26] The trade occurred after the Broncos had tried to trade the same pick to Miami for defensive tackle Dan Wilkinson; that trade was voided.

Browns to Eagles. Cleveland traded their sixth-round selection in 2008 to Philadelphia for center Hank Fraley. The trade was conditional on games started by Fraley, and could have fallen to a seventh-round pick, but Fraley started all 16 games.

Cowboys/Dolphins swap. The teams swapped their sixth-round selections in a trade involving Jason Ferguson.

Jaguars to Vikings. Jacksonville traded their sixth-round selection for Troy Williamson.

Texans to Broncos. Houston traded their sixth-round pick for Chris Myers.

Hamas on the clock.....

The entire 1st round in a week?

Unheard of around here. Great job, guys.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 03-10-2008, 04:09 PM

I'm here...

Pick write up coming shortly.

Direckshun · 03-10-2008, 04:15 PM

I'm betting it's Nicks or Flowers.

Uhhhhhhmmmm..... I'll say Nicks. Just 'cause I need predictions to make my life meaningful.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 03-10-2008, 04:15 PM

John Beck is an unknown, but worse, he's a 27 year old unknown. He didn't show anything during the season to render any real opinion on his abilities. Joe Flacco is an intriguing prospect, but he played in a pass happy system at a smaller school, and despite having great measureables, he couldn't beat out Tyler Palko at Pitt.

Sam Baker seems to be a nice low-risk LT, but his smallish size and questions about his toughness and intensity wouldn't make him a good fit for a Parcells system, IMO. Carl Nicks is an intriguing prospect, but it seems like this may be a few picks too high for him. However, given that the current coach is an O-line man, the raw measureables and character of a man like Nicks, and his immense size, may mean that he has more upside than any other tackle in this draft .

Jason Ferguson may be a NT, but he's 408 years old. Kentwan Balmer was on our radar, and although he has the frame to play NT in a 3-4, he projects better as a 3-4 end. That tweener status on the line fears that he may be more Jimmy Wilkerson than Jamaal Williams.

Quentin Groves would be an ideal OLB to pair with Gholston to make a Merriman/Phillips combo, but although his measureables are great, his intensity, motor, consistency. and work ethic leave something to be desired.

So, by invoking the Planet theory, with the 32nd pick in the NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins select Carl Nicks, OT, Nebraska

ChiefsCountry · 03-10-2008, 04:18 PM

Dang Hamas. You stole my pick.

Mecca · 03-10-2008, 04:23 PM

Well there are only 18 other OT's.

Very true.

Mecca · 03-10-2008, 04:28 PM

These next 2 picks should be relatively easy when you look at the teams and the players left....

Direckshun · 03-10-2008, 04:29 PM

For all intents and purposes, you made the right pick. Flacco is simply too iffy to be taken this soon, and Balmer doesn't have the proper build to fit as NT, and I think he'd still be out of position as a 3-4 DE.

If it came down to Groves, Baker, and Nicks for you, I think you made the right choice. You've already got Gholston on one side and Torbor should be a good man on the other side. I still believe Nicks is the better prospect than Baker but they're both great options.

Mecca · 03-10-2008, 04:31 PM

Considering the first pick the Rams are now pretty much forced to go with a OT since they have 2 injury prone QB's.......and an offensive HC.

I'd also be shocked if it broke this way and the Raiders didn't take Balmer with Sapp retiring.

You just read my mind Mecca.

BigChiefFan · 03-10-2008, 04:43 PM

The Rams select from USC, LT Sam Baker.

'Hamas' Jenkins Now you've pissed me off! Join Date: Jan 2006 Casino cash: $7129572	John Beck is an unknown, but worse, he's a 27 year old unknown. He didn't show anything during the season to render any real opinion on his abilities. Joe Flacco is an intriguing prospect, but he played in a pass happy system at a smaller school, and despite having great measureables, he couldn't beat out Tyler Palko at Pitt. Sam Baker seems to be a nice low-risk LT, but his smallish size and questions about his toughness and intensity wouldn't make him a good fit for a Parcells system, IMO. Carl Nicks is an intriguing prospect, but it seems like this may be a few picks too high for him. However, given that the current coach is an O-line man, the raw measureables and character of a man like Nicks, and his immense size, may mean that he has more upside than any other tackle in this draft . Jason Ferguson may be a NT, but he's 408 years old. Kentwan Balmer was on our radar, and although he has the frame to play NT in a 3-4, he projects better as a 3-4 end. That tweener status on the line fears that he may be more Jimmy Wilkerson than Jamaal Williams. Quentin Groves would be an ideal OLB to pair with Gholston to make a Merriman/Phillips combo, but although his measureables are great, his intensity, motor, consistency. and work ethic leave something to be desired. So, by invoking the Planet theory, with the 32nd pick in the NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins select Carl Nicks, OT, Nebraska __________________ "When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read 'all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.'

Direckshun __ Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Springpatch Casino cash: $2033447	For all intents and purposes, you made the right pick. Flacco is simply too iffy to be taken this soon, and Balmer doesn't have the proper build to fit as NT, and I think he'd still be out of position as a 3-4 DE. If it came down to Groves, Baker, and Nicks for you, I think you made the right choice. You've already got Gholston on one side and Torbor should be a good man on the other side. I still believe Nicks is the better prospect than Baker but they're both great options.

Mecca Hockey Town Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Kansas City, Missouri Casino cash: $-722950	Considering the first pick the Rams are now pretty much forced to go with a OT since they have 2 injury prone QB's.......and an offensive HC. I'd also be shocked if it broke this way and the Raiders didn't take Balmer with Sapp retiring.
