An interesting thing about this years draft is so many people have moved in the offseason. If you look at most mock the really aren't to many that kept up with the moves. There was so many big name free agents and trades that most teams whe structures changed. Look at carolina losing Peppers. The Jets released Thomas Jones who was basicly everything you could ask for from a running back the last few years double digit touchdowns and thousand plus rushing hard seasons. Then the bring in LT, not that it's a bad move if the kept Jones. But to go from Jones to LT who's been hurt last few seasons seems almost silly.
The Eagles traded McNabb after saying earlier in offseason he was to be this years starting quarter back. That seems a little crazy, but to make it better they traded him to the Redskins (a team in their own division). They also traded away Sheldon Brown and Chris Gocong and they where already hurting at those to positions before trade. The Vikings let Chester Taylor walk who was there passing down back. They better hope that AP can learn how to block and doesn't put the ball on the ground as mu h as did last season.
Then there a teams that have pretty obvious needs like Packers need offensive linemen if they want Rodgers to last as long as Favre. The Redskins will be going after offensive line to because that's what Shanahan is known for. This years draft should be pretty interesting people who look like solid first rounders could fall into second and seconds that could move up into first round. Thursday night should be pretty interesting can't wait to see what happens.
