People wanted to trade up to #3 to get Ramsey. Factor in Jack maybe falling to say #12 we'd have had to give up a lot to jump up and get him too. Crazy.

I was talking to someone from the board just prior to the start of the second day, and I suggested we might trade up to get Jack. We both thought it would cost us at least a 4th round pick to move up. But, we both thought that if it happened, it would be the first pick. When that didn't happen, I figured we were staying put. Then Jack slid even further, and I expected the team to make a move. When the trade was announced, and the details were released, I was quite pleased. They got both the guys they coveted in this draft, and it didn't cost them an arm and a leg in picks.
