Sorry to burst your bubble, but moving up to #9 from #13 will require a 2010 3rd rounder, not 2011. Its 200 points on the draft value chart to move up to 9, and our third round pick THIS year is worth about 200 points. We would have to give up at least a 2nd rounder next year to move up to 9, or our 3rd rounder this year.
And by the way, I am all for giving up a 3rd this year to move up to get Berry if he drops to 9. I would even trade our second rounder this year to move up to 7 and trade with Cleveland to get Berry if he fell that far.
But next years third will not get it done.
I explained, Buffalo will get Trent Williams wether they trade with us or not, so they trade because any picks they get are bonus, they still get the player they want and are more willing to trade with less value in return. Look at the 1999 draft, when New Orleans traded ALL its draft picks that year AND a 1st and 2nd the next year to move up from 12 to 5. Washington got WAY more vlaue then they should have. The chart is a GUIDELINE, not an exact measure and if someone values a player enough they will give more than the charts value (and vice versa). Buffalo make a smart decison and picks up future pick while still picking the same player as they would have if they picked at #9.
And if you are still not happy, add a 2012 3rd as well. I think Berry is THAT GOOD.
And cleveland NEEDS an offense. CLV at one point had their starting QB throw for less than 100 yard 4 games IN A ROW! (week 7, 8, 10, 11- 9 was bye) They need an offense and dez bryant will give that team some excitment. Plus Mangini is an idiot and will probaly trade his pick to the jets for a 4th rounder

, kidding. This is all IF and only IF WSH makes the smart pick and take Okung rather than Clausen. I believe that they will, but Dan Snyder can be very unpredictable.
