2) Renaldo Wynn and Alex Buzbee will be unemployed within 2 months.
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. Conspiracy much?
5) We only have 5 draft picks next year. Most of our division rivals have twice that. Only Philly has additional picks, 2 extra. If we don't make any trades we will net 6 players from the 2010 draft but will have an extra years experience out of one of them.
6) If we have a bad season, Zorn, Campbell, and Cerrato will all be gone next year.Nobody is going to dispute that

I don't see how this can be viewed as a bad move. We're going to have another player this season and while we're not using this pick in April we're still going to have our 2010 3rd round pick on the roster.
