    Multiple sources have said one of the picks is a 2010 3rd rounder so that seems legit. There seems to be debate about the second as I've read that it could be a 2010 4th or a 2011 5th but it doesn't seem like any sources are for sure of what exactly was traded.

    Solid trade for us though. Burgess has been getting worse and more and more unhappy here. 3rd rounder isn't bad value, if we got a 4th I'd consider it a positive trade but if its a 5th then its just ok. We were probably going to end up cutting him eventually anyway. Word is the Eagles offered a 3rd and a player but wouldn't budge from there, the Pats offer of a 3rd and some other pick trumped that offer apparently.

    I'm not gonna miss his utter lack of defense against the run. Luckily we were prepared and have nice depth at DE with Ellis, Scott, Richardson, Shaugnessey, etc.
