Cool, with our 16th and 40th we could move to #7 to get DJ. However i doubt MInny will trade #7. Maybe move to #8 Arizona?

Im down for that, and then if we can pick up another 2nd with the Howard trade, thatd be great.

as long as we got another pick i\'m dwon for that..I just want lotsa picks between the 16th and the 40th where I feel most players who can contiribute right away will probalby go.

Have we not yet learned the perils of trading up?

dj is the only player that deserves the thought of moving up. i think the titans are the best hope if wanting to do that. they need bodies more in number than quality.

my preference is still swap picks with the eagles. they have 13 picks(!) and probably want fewer and better ones. NO #16+#82 is a perfect match for their #31+#35. let\'s say we get a 2nd for howard (maybe w/2006 2nd too), use dallas at #42... that yields pick #s 31, 35, 40, 42. that would bring an OT, a LB, a QB, and a DT or another LB.

that makes way too much sense for something we\'d do...actually, what I\'d rather do is trade howard to phily for the 31 and 35...get davis, Burnett, castillo and Ruud...talk about upgrading your defense.!!
