Moderator: Hi all. We'll get going in about 45 minutes. So you have plenty of time to submit many, many questions for Bob.

Jerry Reese has all but stated that he will trade draft picks away before the draft... who's he gonna get? Tony Gonzalez? Anquan Boldin? Any other targets you have in mind?

11:02

I do believe Jerry R. will in fact trade some picks. I think he'll certainly take a run at Gonzalez and/or Boldin, but to me, the more logical guy to watch is Braylon Edwards. Reese told me he would not trade Mathias Kiwanuka for Braylon Edwards, but he did not entirely discount the possibility of trading for Edwards. The more I think about Edwards, the more I think it makes sense. Yes, I know he drops a ton of passes. But Plaxico dropped his share in Pittsburgh before coming to the Giants. Edwards has two things that are tough to find in receivers - size and tremendous talent.

Bob, Do you see the Jets defense as a top 5-10 defense this year?

11:04

Yes, I think that is very possible with Rex Ryan now in charge. It will not be perfect, by any means, but there will be an aggressiveness that I believe will create a ton of turnovers. The key to defense isn't so much in yards allowed - that seems to be the stat people focus on - but in points allowed. If the Jets can get that number down, then I think they're looking at a far better defense than in years past.

What are the chances of the G-men moving up to get Mualuaga? Do you think they will make moves with the players they have to move up or the draft picks?

11:06

I think it depends on what's ahead of them. He certainly fills a need at linebacker, but I think the Giants believe they can get another couple years out of Pierce. That said, Maualuga is certainly a terrific prospect.

Why doesn't Denver just trade Josh McDaniels for Eric Mangini and get this all over with already...?

11:08

Ha! ... Yes, Blitz, it is certainly interesting how both young men have done their share to alienate a good deal of their players BEFORE they've even had a training camp practice. But that's the m.o. that both coaches took away from their mentor, Bill Belichick. The only difference - THE DIFFERENCE - is that Belichick had just slightly more credibility when he got into the head coaching ranks as far as his resume. It will be an interesting run for Mangini and McDaniels, for sure.
