True, but those suitors would not be willing to offer as much if they know the hand we're holding.

I don't think anyone really knows the hand we're holding. Media types keep saying we're going to draft Mario Williams. I find this non-sensical because we already have two outstanding defensive ends. I'm not sure why we would want to get back to a 3 DE for two slots situation again.

Then there's the fact that Green Bay really really wants Hawk. We certainly could use a standout linebacker.

Then of course there is Ferguson. It would really be excellent for the team to have anchor tackles for the next dozen years.

I don't think the hand is clear. I do think that the #2 pick is really valuable, especially to the Jets because they want Lienard, and possibly to Green Bay because they don't want to lose Hawk.
