Okay folks we have learned that the Detroit Lions will be giving up their #20 overall pick (originally Dallas' 1st rd pick given to Detroit during the Roy Williams trade). Along with this, it is reported the Lions will also be giving up their 2nd round pick (#33 overall pick or the 1st pick in the 2nd round).

Denver in return, will be giving up their 1st round pick #12, as well as their 3rd and 4th round selections.

Trade analysis:

Denver
1st (12): 1,200 points
3rd (12th?): 210 points
4th (12th?): 78 points
1,488 total points

Detroit
1st (20): 850 points
2nd (33): 580 points
1,430 points

Mel Kiper, Jr. back here folks and it looks like these two GMs are awesome. Get these guys some models or actresses or shoot, I have some lovely flowing beautiful hair! This is a great trade for both teams. Denver misses out on their two top guys in BJ Raji and Rey Maualuga. Detroit, after taking Aaron Curry #1 overall can trade up for another real playmaker. Detroit now has THREE 3rd picks. This sets up well for a team in need of rebuilding.

I know the trade has already occured, but how did Denver get away with trading a 4th round pick in a 3 round mock? Or this going longer than 3 rounds?

I think the rule on it was that you can't trade players or future draft picks. But you can trade this years picks from whatever round. You should just try to make the points on the chart come relatively close.

I really want to apologize to everyone for not making my pick, I did not realize that it was this week. I was in St Barts for my step dads 40th and had no internet. Once again sorry!

Not your fault.

Most people thought we were starting after the Super Bowl and I think we started early.

PhilipW will weight in on this when he gets back.

from: http://www.walterfootball.com/draft2009OT.php

Eben Britton, Arizona
Height: 6-6. Weight: 310.
Projected 40 Time: 5.05.
Projected Round (2009): Top 25 Pick.
1/6/09: Eben Britton, who recently declared for the 2009 NFL Draft, has seen his stock soar ever since Arizona moved him over to left tackle.

7/27/08: An athletic tackle who earned a spot on the All-Pac-10 second team as a sophomore.

Washington is in dire need of o-line help and get an instant starter in Britton. Almost went DE here but the top guys don't seem to be Redskin type ends.

[Ryan]

Sorry guys I didn't know we were starting this thing so early. Mauluga most likely would have been my choice anyway, but i might've taken Beanie Wells in a trade down scenario or maybe at the #8 spot so the Jags could have a replacement for Fred Taylor.

We probably won't go 4 rounds or anything but it's still part of "the draft". It makes it tough to trade any distance if you can't use future picks. It may not be fun to get those future picks since you can't use them to draft a player for this mock but I think it should still count towards your overall 'grade' if you will.

[Ole Miss Texan]

There's a Selection Thread stickied right below this discussion thread for the official selections. It's been updated up to th Washington pick (excludes N.O.'s pick of Vontae). Nice pick by the way!

Texans are up, can't wait to see who it is!
