I remember reading that can someone post a link?

   Jagwired'd ,   if Derrick Harvey would have lasted to pick # 11,   it's safe to assume the Bills would have given Harvey serious consideration.    Harvey not only would have filled a need for the Bills but would have given them value with the pick.      Leodis McKelvin also fills a need for the Bills.    Yet,   if Harvey was available,    my guess is he would have been the pick.       The Bills use the Tampa Two Defensive Scheme as their base.      A preferred focal point of this scheme is to generate pressure w/o the aid of blitzes.        IMO,  the value that Harvey would have provided the Bills would have been too good for them to pass up.       Especially since the Bills didn't have a need in their return game.

   If the Jags didn't trade up for Derrick Harvey,   my guess is the Bengals  at # 9,   Patriots at # 10,   Bills at # 11,   and Panthers at # 13 would have had Harvey at or near the top of their board.    One thing that's certain is that if Harvey some how lasted to pick # 15,   the Lions were going to draft him.    I had very little hope that Harvey would be available with that pick.

 

    Regarding the Jags,   they made a sensational trade with the Ravens,   getting the opportunity to draft Derrick Harvey.     Even 23 days later,   I'm still amazed  that Baltimore would give up pick # 8 at a substantial discount price.

Duane Brown was not a reach for Houston. 1st of all, Alex Gibbs recommended him, because he fits his scheme perfectly. For some reason few people acknowledge/ understand this.

2nd of all, Houston did not have a second round pick due to the Schaub trade, and Brown would likely not have lasted to Houston's 3rd rounder - so if they wanted him they pretty much had to take him where they did - and trading down from 18 to 26 netted them extra picks anyway.




Congratulations to the 2008 WORLD Champions, your Philadelphia Phillies!
