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.

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.
