3) I'm not terribly concerned about losing the 3rd rounder next year. I think Jarmon qualifies as 3rd round talent that we got for a 3rd rounder a year early. If we had wanted to select him in the 3rd round in THIS years draft (had he been eligible), we would have had to trade next years 2nd. Instead, we're geting him for a 3rd rounder a year earlier than we would have otherwise.
4) Why did Cerrato openly pimp this guy to the media last week? I'll tell you why - he wanted fans to get pumped up for this guy, so we would be less angry when we announced we were giving up a 3rd rounder for him.
5) We only have 5 draft picks next year. Most of our division rivals have twice that.
6) If we have a bad season, Zorn, Campbell, and Cerrato will all be gone next year.

We are on the same page I agree with all of that although I am not in the area so I couldn't see Vinny pimping this dude. One thing people forget is this guy may be a first rounder next year so we are getting a bargain still with a 3rd round pick. Yeah we could have tried to get him for a 4th rounder but who is to say we would have gotten him we need d-line help now and we can’t be playing around trying to be cheap.
