Report Offensive Comment"The Dolphins have sent Jason Taylor to the Cardinals for Bertrand Berry and the #50 overall pick."
I would hope the Dolphins would treat Jason Taylor better than sending him to Arizona. If he goes, it will be to a contender or a team who is one playmaker away from becoming one. Other than the Taylor trade, great job on the mock draft!

Report Offensive CommentI don't think that the Packers would trade their 1st round pick. Plus, i wouldn't trade their 1st round pick

Report Offensive CommentDyhard the Green Bay Packers acquired cornerback depth and secondary help (both Harris and Woodson are 32 with some less than stellar back ups until now). I also acquired another 2nd round pick while swapping 3rd rounders to move up in the 3rd.
Also, with nothing of much interest to Green Bay at Pick No. 30 the best bet was to trade it away for more picks and players.
