Jacksonville Jaguars
#8 Overall (Acquired from Baltimore for 2008 picks #26, #71, #89 and an additional 4th round pick)
Derrick Harvey (DE) Florida
Jacksonville really moved up for this pick. I think they might have been better served getting to New England's spot to take Sedrick Ellis to replace Stroud in the middle of their defensive line Derrick Harvey seems to have the tools but this seems like a reach. Although outside of Gholston and Long there really wasn't another consensus top DE. But considering how pissed off Mel Kiper Jr is about this I think it might turn out to be OK for the Jags.
Baltimore traded back to select Chad Henne. Mark that down. The Pats didn't want to go down to 26 because they'd miss the top corners, Buffalo would miss Devin Thomas and everybody else in the 8-16 range doesn't want to be on the end of the run on OT's when it starts in a pick or two. So I guess this is why the Jags had to trade up for this guy. Word on the Web was the both the Panthers and the Lions had man-crushes on Harvey.
