Official 2008 NFL Draft thread Day 2

Actually Thompson was #96 on my board but what is the cost??

[Fosco33]

I'm glad they picked up a DE. I'd still like to see an OLB, RB or Safety.

OT Levi Jones wants out of Cincy..Would love him on our team.

Jones asks Bengals for a trade out of Cincinnati
By Adam Schefter | NFL Network



Levi Jones, OT
Cincinnati Bengals

Career Statistics
GMs/GS: 84/79
Turns out Chad Johnson is not the only Bengal that has asked to be traded.

Former first-round pick Levi Jones recently asked the Bengals to trade him, though his issues have nothing to do with money. The offensive tackle has disagreements with Cincinnati's coaching staff.

As they did with Johnson, the Bengals told Jones they wouldn't trade him.

If Jones remains in Cincinnati, as the Bengals insist, he is not expected to attend the team's voluntary workouts. He will attend their mandatory functions, but he would like to be traded, a feeling he has voiced to the organization.

How did the Packers get a 3rd fourth round pick?

Compensatory pick.

Yeah, it was our compensation for letting Sherman overpay Ahman Green.

That explains having two, but they have 113, 128, and 135.

The other we got for trading 30 to the Jets. I wonder what we gave up for this trade to get this new guy.

How did the Packers get a 3rd fourth round pick?

Compensatory pick.

Wrong. A normal draft pick.

For a DE???

KGB isn't going to be around much longer. I'm not completely sold on Cullen Jenkins at DE either. At the very least, it provides depth on the line so they can rotate players and keep fresh bodies in the game. Think of all of the 4th quarter sacks our defense got last season due to the rotation of players on the line. I like the pick.

Thanks, I forgot that.

Jeremy Thompson
Selected by: Green Bay Packers
Round: 4
Pick (Overall): 3(102)
DE | (6'4", 264, 4.75) | WAKE FOREST

Overall: Thompson was an instant contributor when he arrived at Wake Forest, collecting 66 tackles (9.5 for losses) and two sacks in 33 games (19 starts) through his first three seasons (2004-'06). In 2005, he suffered an ACL tear in his left knee and missed the Demon Deacons' final three games, and in 2006 he was slowed by a shoulder injury in the team's last four games. As a senior in 2007, he had 46 tackles (11 for losses) and 6.5 sacks. For his career, Thompson also recorded two interceptions, seven pass breakups, two forced fumbles and two blocked kicks. Thompson projects as a fourth round pick because he doesn't have prototypical speed or explosiveness and he has had some problems staying healthy. However, he moves well for his size, he has the frame to bulk up and he doesn't make many mistakes so he could develop into an adequate ..
