With Ellis going to the Saints, the Ravens are now on the clock. They would have loved to get QB Matt Ryan, but he is already off the board. Jacksonville just traded up to #8 in place of the Ravens. Possibly DE Derrick Harvey from Flordia. There was speculation that Jacksonville was interested in giving up their frist round pick to the Dolphins for Jason Taylor, but I like this decision better then going after the 30+ year old Taylor.
After a slow, predictable start, things are starting to pick up with back-to-back trades.
With the draft starting 3 hours later and them moving the 3rd round until tomorrow may have somthing to do with my low level of excitement. The Vikings only have one first day pick, 2nd round pick #47, so they won't be picking until late tonight around 8-9p.m. If QB Brian Brohm is there, I hope Minnesota picks him. If Brohm left Louisville last year, he may have been a top 10 pick. He is likely to fall out of the first round in 2008. The Ravens trading down with Jacksonville to the mid 20's might pickup the next QB whether it be Brohm, Joe Flacco from I-AA Delaware, or Chad Henne from Michigan.
Jaguars pick Harvey at #8, which Mel Kiper feels is a reach and so do I. In mock drafts, I saw Harvey maybe droping to the Vikings when they had their 17th pick early, but likely going 13-14.
