HashMark Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Mar. 29, 2011 5:56 p.m. - Atlanta's official draft picks were released Tuesday. The selections are: first round (27), second round (59), third round (91), fourth round (124), fifth round (158), sixth round (192), seventh round (209, 228, 229). Picks 209 and 229 come from trades with Detroit (CB Chris Houston) and New England (OL Quinn Ojinnaka)I thought it they lost a pick or something that got us a 6th?? any help thanks in advance!

Robb4242 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 It was originially a 7th round pick that we were getting in the Houston trade.Detroit had 2 trades that ended up getting them 7th round picks. One was definitely a 7th round pick, the other I'm guessing was conditional and ended up a 7th rounder because nobody knew for sure in the last month & a half that Detroit definitely had 3 picks in the 7th round. So there was a lot of speculation that Detroit would have to give us a 6th round pick to complete the trade since we got the higher of their 2 picks.What I don't understand is why a pick traded to Detroit was used as the pick that was surrendered for their tampering charge. Seems like that the pick that would be surrendered would be their original pick. Not that it matters a great deal, but we could have been picking about 5 or 6 spots earlier in the 7th round if that was the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the earlier decision is reversed, the S.F. 49ers would get the Jets late 7th rounder(O'Connell trade)to finish the Shaun Hill deal and we would get the Lions regular 7th(#209) Edited March 31, 2011 by muskokas finest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sporkdevil Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 The 6th round pick we used for Schilly came from Detroit. (hattip atljbo). If was 1 pick last year, and a conditional 1 this year, a 6th and a 7th. I had it wrong as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
