    but right now we have no second and that would have only been a drop of 20 picks

    Have to see who we pick. Kind of hope it's Mendehall, glad Talib is gone as well, his situation sounds alot different than Okoye's last year.

    I have a feeling we're going to end up with a #2 somehow before the day is over. We might even trade out of the first to pick up more picks. We definitely have room to make some moves now.

    I thought ATL would trade up for Mendenhall.

    Didn't they give Michael Turner a ton of money in free agency?

    D'oh! Yes they did.

    Does Mendenhall slide past Dall-ass?

    Wow, Joe Flacco goes from Pitt's 4th string QB that never sniffed the field to ultimately a first-round pick for the Ratbirds. Crazy how things pan out.

    Don't forget Felix Jones. Jerry loves his Razorbacks...

    That's true. I think they'll take Jones. He'll be a nice compliment to Barber in the backfield and the other Jones they just got in the return game.

    Why? He'll still get paid. Maybe not as much but still enough.

    Wow....would the Steelers take Mendenhall here? I didn't think he'd drop this far, but I guess the rb depth is hurting him- I don't see anyone trading up to get him with so many other options out there. I hate the Cowboys, but I do like the Felix Jones pick.
