The Draft

Okay, there are going to be lots of trades. Our plan is to trade down a few spots and then pick QB Peter Briggs (if he doesnt get selected - if he does we'll start scooping up WR).

First Trade

We send

1.1
2010 1

Oak sends

1.2
2009 1
2010 1

W00T! Now we're talking.

1. Oakland - QB Roy Harrison - YAY!

Of course San Fran and Atlanta won't give us anything remotely approaching the Oakland deal - and since we don't want to risk missing out on Briggs we go ahead and select him at 1.2.

2. White Rock - QB Peter Briggs

I think we are focusing on the RB and the three WR below Powell now - so we should be able to sit tight for at least a few picks and wait for Powell to get snatched up before we trade back in.

Here are the rest of the top 10 picks.

3. San Francisco - Mason, Myron, QB, East Carolina
4. Atlanta - Sweeney, Malcolm, QB, Florida State
5. Oakland - Bushon, Kelvin, OLB, Vanderbilt
6. Pittsburgh - Clemons, Bryan, T, Albany
7. Indianapolis - Taylor, Chris, QB, Mississippi State
8. New Jersey P - Anderson, Kendall, S, Purdue
9. Washington - Delgado, Bernard, CB, Indiana
10. Jupiter - Kieta, Darren, ILB, Michigan

Now we start thinking about trading back in.

11. Detroit - Lyons, Norbert, OLB, Texas Tech
12. Arizona - Powell, Harris, WR, Nebraska

And that cinches it since Powell is now off the board and our WR are vulnerable. Detroit, Atlanta and Cincy are the only teams that mention a need for WR - so we decide to sit until pick 20 before trying to trade back in.

13. Tennessee - O'Field, Steve, G, Fresno State
14. Jacksonville - Chevrier, Wes, TE, Fresno State
15. Green Bay - Kolsrud, Shane, ILB, Clemson
16. Washington - Granados, Bo, CB, St. Francis, Pa.
17. Denver - Danek, Marcus, DT, Maryland
18. Lackawanna - Hamill, Leland, OLB, Drake
19. New Orleans - Yoo, Jack, QB, Miami, Florida
20. Fall River - McGregor, Kim, QB, Penn State

Philly needs a QB, so we let them pick.

21. Philadelphia - Mayhem, Bert, QB, Appalachian State

Phew.

RB OJ Winters and WR Sammie Newman are now 4th and 8th best available on Kiper's board.

The Cincy Whitecaps are up and they need a WR. We need to move here.

Second Trade

We send

2009 and 2010 seconds

CIN sends

1.22

22. White Rock - Newman, Sammie, WR, North Carolina

With our two WR still on the board, as well as our RB we decide to sit tight until one of the WR goes. Everyone needs QB still and the bars RB is still ranked higher than our guy. Once the bars RB or one of our WR goes, then we move.

23. Keene - Erickson, Shaun, QB, Oklahoma State
24. Tampa Bay - Laing, Tim, DT, Wisconsin
25. Houston - Carlson, Mario, DT, Pittsburgh
26. Charleston - Ciscone, Zach, WR, Arkansas

That didn't take long.
