Philly's pick from us for Otah is at #28

[Sandy Claws]

Subject to the playoffs. Could be as low as 21 and as high as 32. Either way, we don't get a pick next year until late in the second round (unless we trade up, naturally.) I believe we will be fairly active in free agency next year.

The best it can be is 25. Wildcard weekend will eliminate 4 teams. They'll get spots 21 - 24. Divisional week end eliminates 4 more. If we are 1 of them and the other 3 are some of these guys Titans, Giants, Colts, Steelers, then it would be 25. Any other teams slipping in there move it back a slot.

low as 26 couple teams will be eleminated.

As low as 26 is correct. If two teams with a worse regular season record make the Super Bowl then the pick could go down to 26. Other than that, playoff success will only change the order between teams with the same record.

If 9-7 Arizona loses in the NFC CG and the 12-4 Panthers lose in the Divisional, then AZ will still pick ahead of the Panthers. AZ would pick at 21 (best of 9-7 records). Carolina would pick 28 (worst of 12-4 teams). Assuming that say Ten and NYG make the SB.

now that Detroit got rid of Matt Millen it looks like they wont be drafting two WRs in the first round! poor bastards.

This was the gamble (not "mortgage") that Fox made.

It was a good one then and now.

I guess John Fox new we were going deep into the playoffs this year so next year we would have a low draft pick anyway so why not trade for Otah.

At first I didn't like the pick, but I also wasn't so sure about the Stewart in the first either.

I agree, I think we will be picking up good role players, much like this past year. Just trying to find guys that are serviceable or even could surprise ala Chris Harris (I know not FA) or Brayton.
