I see Ted Thompson moving up in the first round using some of those picks in his package
Of course he can't trade the comp. picks, but I wouldn't be shocked to see him use his original picks to move up to grab someone like Upshaw or Cox. Especially in light of the recent free agent signings to take some pressure off of finding several starters through the draft.
On field play > everything else.
Slow 40? Meh
Bad wonderlic? Meh
So the Colts get the first and the last picks? Even with all the picks in between, they'd have trouble having a winning season.Round 3

http://rotoworld.com/articles/nfl/40184/59/ten-pre-draft-trade-candidates?pg=2McKelvin was the 11th pick in the 2008 draft, so he's a holdover from an old Bills regime. And McKelvin hasn't played remotely well enough to earn a spot in GM Buddy Nix and coach Chan Gailey's long-term plans. McKelvin is entering the final year on his rookie deal. He's not getting an extension and won't be a 2012 starter, so it makes the most sense for Buffalo to move him now.
McKelvin still has talent and youth (26) on his side.
McKelvin adds the dreadlocks to follow Al Harris and Tramon Williams' footsteps, and he blossoms as Charles Woodson has since he left Oakland for Green Bay 6 years ago.
Packers trade 5th round pick to Buffalo for CB Leodis McKelvin

No draft, or mock, is ever perfect.
- Why both Irvin and Johnson at OLB?
Why did we draft Brohm in 2008 with Rodgers just getting started, then also select another QB in Flynn?
All about the grade and value.
Irvin (West Virginia) and Cam (Virginia) have a nice little rivalry there and will push each other hard to win the starting job.
So'oto, Zombo, and Brad Jones are forced to raise their games to stay employed.
In the end, Bruuuuuuce wins the job and becomes a fan-favorite opposite Kuuuuuuhn, and he registers 8 1/2 sacks as a rookie, along with an even 12 from Clay, and they edge out Harrison (13) and Woodley (7) for the best OLB duo in the NFL in 2012. Irvin shows glimpes of becoming a future star, a la Brooks Reed from last year out of Arizona.
Which center will emerge as a viable future starter, Gerhart or Wedige?
Well 2 eggs in a basket are better odds than just one.
I love Ganaway and feel Starks-Ganaway-Alex Green is a nice trio, or if Alex won't be ready for awhile, bring back Grant for one more year.
I think with the added pass rush via the DE and OLB that the Packers CBs will look better regardless of upgrades of not.
But adding an experienced, but young, McKelvin helps, and Davon House should be ready to help too. No more waiting for stiffs like Pat Lee and Brandon Underwood.
Jarrett Bush moves primarily over to safety but they like his versatility to help out in a pinch at CB or S.
I will predict, sadly, that Collins is not back.
Bethel surprises folks and is more ready than people expect, and even though we all urge TT on to sign a legit safety in FA, Teddy lets Peprah, Levine, MD Jennings, and the rook battle it out to start opposite Burnett.
Really wanted to steal Ryan Broyles as we could basically afford to easily redshirt him, with our depth. But someone else thinks the same thing and grabs him way earlier than expected.
Sorry for no photos. Someone who wants them, feel free to add them.
I like Brandon Saine a lot actually.Gotta ask your opinion on Saine. Still isn't expected to still be around by our pick, though we'd love to have him.
