Not bad ... two more picks to try and use to trade back into the third if we like. Not a lot of value in them ... but some.

Well, we could trade our original 6th and 7th picks...and keep these

BS, they need to do away with compensatory picks. It has corruption written all over it.

**Purple Floyd** · 03-26-2011, 02:29 PM

I imagine we will use one of them to draft our future franchise QB

LOL! And with the 35th pick of the 7th round the Minnesota Vikings draft Chris Witney from Villanova! :P

Anyone else remember when the draft was alot longer than 7 rounds? I do.

If the scouts have done their jobs (found the type of talent the coaches want) these picks can bring some nice depth to the team.
