The official 2012 draft day trades and trade rumors thread

Chopper liked him in the 3rd round.. not so sure he liked him at #30.

No I dont think he said he'd take him in the first. Just know he liked him a lot more than I did.

Upshaw and Glenn might slip out of the first round.. wow.

 

[Monty]

Nope not drunk and read quite well. My perception is just as valid as you claim yours is.

OK....I'm gonna drop this as its a non issue.

 

[Monty]

I knew the Steelers haven't had a decent oline for more then a few years now, but I did not know it was this bad last year per Schefter tweet.

"Steelers used a league-high 25 different offensive line combinations last season."

Upshaw looked a little angry walking out of the green room. Saban was consoling him big time.

Couldnt keep anyone healthy.

Probably the craziest first round I've ever followed.

If the trades continue like this going forward, mock drafts will be pretty useless in future years.

 

[CtCardinals78]

Cards need to get back into the second to get Upshaw.

 

[wilycoyote24]

Wow, I actually watched the entire first round this year. I hope these relatively super fast rounds continue in the future.

 

[NJCardFan]

No brains? I almost never hear that call. I would say "character issues" is the better term.

Touche

Yep. This will likely be the trend with the new CBA making trading up a much more enticing proposition with the rookie payscales.

Perfect for prime time tv, which I hated until tonight.

They did a great job IMO with the changes in draft coverage. I thought the coverage was better overall because instead of showing green-room footage they filled that time with commentary, stats, and highlights. I approved of the changes.
