Very Reasonable Price for New Orleans to Move Up, Not So Much for the Jags

Swapping a third for a fifth to get ahead of Cincinnati and snag Ellis. Then the Jags trade up to poach Derrick Harvey right before their eyes. Do the Bengals now take Keith Rivers as the DBPA? Maybe take OL2? Either way, they should feel very important that two teams gave up valuable draft capital to leapfrog them. Sorry Bramel and Norton, you guys got a wedgie today. Five defensive linemen in the first eight picks - I think it’s clear where the strength of this draft lies.

Meanwhile, the Jags gave up about the same price to get Derrick Harvey as what Minnesota gave up to get Jared Allen. Well done, Vikes, and well done Ravens. Now the Ravens are sitting pretty to take Chad Henne/Brian Brohm/Joe Flacco at 26. Stay tuned.

Paging Sedrick Ellis

You’re about to hear your name called. Why do I have this sinking feeling that the Pats will fleece New Orleans in this trade?
