I didn't see this posted. I guess we wanted Leinart

I really wished they got Culter but hopefully Jackson will be good in the next few years. At least they tried to move up but they should have tried to move up to St Loius position to pick him up. They must not have wanted him too bad

jeez.. if we would of gotten this pick.. leinart would be in purple and gold

I did not want lienart, I think he is going to be more into show business and not a team leader that we need

I remember how mad I got when we didn't move up. I'm still kind of upset we didn't move up there.

Of course we tried to move up, I'm pretty sure every team picking after Arizona tried to move up with the chaos of the first ten picks.

Well, I still think we would have given up too many picks, and we would definetly not have Chad Greenway...I think I'm sorta glad that we didnt..! We have a nice linebacker, who should develop into a stud!

^^^Yess i guess your right but with leinart and culter still avaible on the board with the 9th pick it is hard to not to want to trade up

If we would have moved up to the #8 position and grabbed Leinart, then that means no Chad Greenway. We needed a LB more then we needed a QB, so I am glad it turned out the way it did.. Now if we could have packaged both of our 2nd rd picks and moved up to the 11th spot to grab Cutler, then it would be worth it.
