Wow. Jax gave up their 1st, two 3rd rounders and a 5th rounder to move up.

Thanks for reporting this, Philly.  That's actually less than I was expecting but still pretty costly.  They pretty much butchered their draft.

Jets got Gholston, who owned Jake Long in college. Not sure how I feel about that.

It only takes one sack to own someone? Outstanding...the 49ers Manny Lawson owns Seattle's studly LT Walter Jones then.

Or wait...maybe it was just a fluke on Lawson's (and Gholston's) part. Wink

You more than anyone should realize that stats/numbers aren't everything. He was the only defensive end who ever gave Long a difficult time. And this is going back over their collegiate careers, not just this past season.

Yeah, who the hell is Jerod Mayo??  It's obvious they need LB help, and I'm sure they were targeting Keith Rivers, but Cincy gobbled him up at #9. 

Dan Connor would've been a better selection.

And Buffalo follows up with an even more baffling selection.  Needing DB help and with Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie as well as Mike Jenkins and Aquib Talib available, they take Leodis McKelvin.... a guy who wasn't expected to go until the second round.

  I figured the Bills would take Devin Thomas, even though it would've been a little bit high for him.

2nd round??? Three different sources I'm looking at had him projected as a 1st rounder. Granted, he was usually the 3rd OR 4th CB (behind Mike Jenkins, Antone Cason and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie), but he was 1st round talent. Mike Mayock said he was his highest rated CB.

Two media guides I'm looking at have him in the second round.

KC just traded with Detroit and drafted Virginia G Branden Albert at #15.  Good pick for them at this spot, but what did they give up?

They had a lot more picks to work with I guess. Remember, they picked up 2 3rd rounders (plus the first) from Minnesota this week. The Fins have a lot of picks, put compensatory picks can't be traded.
