I think you could see a few of these suprise picks play out actually..

[patmoran2006]

11. Buffalo Bills (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=buf) -- Devin Thomas (http://insider.espn.go.com/nfldraft/draft/tracker/player?draftyear=2008&id=12247), WR, Michigan State

Record: 7-9 | Needs: WR, TE, CB, DE, FS
Scenario 1: Wide receiver is the top need and the word on the street is the Bills will reach for Thomas if they can't make a deal to trade back a few spots.
Scenario 2: Cornerback is a possibility and McKelvin and Jenkins seem like the best fits if the Bills go that route.
Scenario 3: While it doesn't seem like a pressing need, don't be surprised if the Bills end up pulling the trigger on Harvey. With Anthony Hargrove (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=6850) suspended for the 2008 season and Al Wallace (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=4232) expected to depart through free agency, Buffalo needs help at end.


THESE TWO WOULD SUCK!
6. New York Jets (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=nyj) -- Darren McFadden (http://insider.espn.go.com/nfldraft/draft/tracker/player?id=12135&draftyear=2008), RB, Arkansas

Record: 4-12 | Needs: DE, CB, WR, FS, ILB, RB
Scenario 1: Though running back isn't a top need, McFadden is the versatile and explosive weapon the Jets' offense has been missing for years.
Scenario 2: If McFadden is off the board Gholston is the pick. The Jets could use his pass rushing ability to take some pressure off OLB Calvin Pace (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=6354), who came over in free agency.
Scenario 3: If both McFadden and Gholston are off the board the Jets will scramble to try to find a trade partner.


http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/nwe.gif 7. N.E. Patriots (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=nwe) (from 5-11 S.F.) -- Sedrick Ellis (http://insider.espn.go.com/nfldraft/draft/tracker/player?draftyear=2008&id=11738), DT, USC

Record: 16-0 | Needs: ILB, OLB, CB, ROT, TE
Scenario 1: The Patriots will try to trade to out of this pick because they're unlikely to get good value at their positions of need. With that in mind, they are hoping Ellis and/or Ryan slip this far in order to drive up the value of the pick.
Scenario 2: New England could upgrade over Nick Kaczur (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=7276) at right tackle by selecting Albert if he's available. Albert is skyrocketing up draft boards and is talented enough to push for immediate playing time.
Scenario 3: Don't be surprised if the Patriots ignore need and take Ellis if he's still available. He would represent the best value.
Scenario 4: Gholston is the final option, but I feel he is overrated at this point and the Patriots rarely reach.

[Don't Panic]

If KC needs to drop back, and we do too, and JJ is blowing smoke about not being intertested in McFadden, then there seems to be the making for a three way trade, especially if McFadden is still on the board. That way we get our WR and CB in round one (Dallas' picks), KC gets Albert at #11 (and picks from Dallas), and JJ gets his boy.

[KO1]

malcom kelly in the second? as awesome as that'd be, dont see it happening.. Best scenario for that would be a McCargo style trade up like in 2006
