Theres been an obnoxious amount of trades; imagine if the real NFL draft worked this way.
Domenix Hixon says GM Jerry Reese has assured him that the Giants did not offer Hixon during trade talks with the Browns.
It sounds like Reese stopped short of guaranteeing Hixon he'd be a Giant in 2009, though. Cleveland preferred Steve Smith anyway.
I question the Hakeem Nicks pick for Tampa. The Bucs have far more glaring needs than WR, namely due to the fact that Winslow gives them a #2 option across from Bryant and they figure to be a run first team, anyway. They had their pick of the defensive tackle and defensive end litter at 19.
Barden is a late 2nd rounder to early 2nd day pick. To take in the 1st round is the kind of reach that gets GM's fired.
Oh no I fear for my fictional job.
