Added me to his friends on facebook. I went through last week and added the general consensus top 20-25 players in the draft and added them as friends, and so far he is the only one who added me back.

What this means: He cares about his fans and doesn't get caught up with being famous. His profile leads me to believe he has a good head on his shoulders and is going straight to the top.

I would call you a nerd for even being on facebook but since I'm on Packer Rats all the time, what would that make me? Seriously, that is cool. Sounds like a likeable kid with some real talent.

Amobi Okoye was accepted into Harvard. When he was 15. Beast.

Probably have to be his friend to see it, though. Or go to Louisville.

As the only player in this draft I would consider trading up for, good lord I hope he drops to us. It would make my entire offseason.

Tamba Hali was the one guy I was hoping for last year...I knew he was a HUGE reach at #5, so I was hoping he would drop to us in the 2nd...he didn't.

Okoye is my one guy this draft; unfortunately, I can't see him falling to us either.

Anybody have the draft points chart? How much would it cost us to trade up to about 9 or so?

most of this draft, and no I don't have the chart. No, it's not happening.

I'm not nearly as high on this guy as others on here. I definitely don't want us to trade up for him.

It's not that big of a jump. #9 is only 1350 points as opposed to #16 which is 1000 points. We could easily have #9 for #16 and a player if the Dolphins were interested. Our second round pick is worth 420 or thereabouts, so it certainly wouldn't cost "most of this draft."

Not to be a "crazy internet fan foaming at the mouth about trades that will never happen" or anything, but I would totally trade #16 and KGB for Okoye and a later round pick. That seems to be fair value.

I would be pleased if Okoye were the pick at #16.

That said, please wake me from the dead the next time TT trades up in the draft.
