Excellent question. I'd imagine it doesn't affect it too much since we focus on BPA more so than need, but I'm sure we do factor need into our ratings to some degree.

Xavier Rhodes may have been upgraded a 1/2 grade, but I still think we're OK with what we have.

Had we signed NnumbNnuts I think it would have eliminated CB from the 1st 3 rounds.

I could live with that!

That comparison was for Cameron Jordan and not Dion, which would've been more useful as we are talking about potential draftees from this year's crop.

Bah... guess I wasn't looking that carefully. Well, still pretty gave us some interesting info with JPP, Ansah, and Jordan on the list.

The tweener thing always makes me nervous though I wish Mingo every success...

That would be truly awesome, but I doubt that the Bengals would give up two 2nd rounders and a 3rd for the Saints' 1st rounder.

The latter scenario JP introduced is probably much more likely with the Saints packaging Ivory with their 1st rounder for the two 2nd rounders and a 6th rounder.

We can trade our first round pick, 15 overall and valued at 1050 points, to the 49ers for their first round pick, 31st overall and valued at 600 points, their second second round pick, 61st overall and valued at 292 points, and their second third round pick, 93rd overall and valued at 128 points. 1050 for 1020.

1(31) DL Jesse Williams (I'd love to have Ogletree but can't imagine him falling this far)
2(61) S Jonathan Cyprien (NFL Network said Jarvis Jones could get pushed out of the first, I'd take him if still available)
3(75) OLB Jamie Collins
3(93) OL Barrett Jones (Good players get pushed down when GMs try to outthink the room)
4(109) OT Jordan Mills
5(144) CB Tharold Simon
6(183) NT Kwame Geathers

I think there might be five starters in this group and all, in my opinion, would be able to contribute in year one.
