Swap of 3rd round picks and they get the Raider's 7th round....

WTF?????

Are they going to draft anyone worth a damn this year? With all of the the 6th rounders I don't see what the hell they are doing.

Excuse me, they are getting the Raiders 3rd pick next year plus the 7th this year.

That will give them 5 of the first 100 players next year. 2 firsts, a second and 2 thirds.

They must really hate this year’s draft. I guess they think that with Thomas, Meriweather and James added to the D along with the return of Wilson and Harrison that they will be in much better shape. With the added output on offense that that will be able to shoot it out with just about anyone.

Plus, with all of those players next year they can draft some quality guys and rebuild on the fly. They will need more DBs and LBs to go with a WR. I am thinking that Jackson will be entering his 3rd year and with Welker they could add a WR in the draft plus a veteran WR like they did this year.

Think about it, last this team had holes at receiver which they more than resolved for this year, they get a stud LB who will contribute immediately, they get a play maker in the secondary and they get their 2 starting safeties back. With the picks they can draft skill players while using the back of this year’s draft for some back ups on the O-Line/D-Line and special teams.

Brilliant.
