I don't think this changes anything. Harvey and Kampmann are the projected starters for 2010.

Re: Quentin Groves says he's been traded

Well there goes our top 10 pick... my early prediction is it'll now be in the 25-30 range.

In return a fifth-round pick in 2010 draft

With or without Groves on their team, how would their DE priority change? Groves is a second round bust. In his two years in the league, he has started 7 games with 43 tackles and 2.5 sacks.

Raiders are drafting Iupati or Campbell

5th rounder, so that would be from the Burgess trade I suppose.

Please tell me you're being sarcastic, right?

Raiders land DE Groves from Jags for 5th-rder - NFL- nbcsports.msnbc.com

Raiders acquired DE Quentin Groves in exchange for a fifth-round pick in 2010.
Considering the playmakers acquired this spring for fifth-rounders, the deal is a steal for Jacksonville. Groves, a 2008 second-round pick, has flopped in his first two seasons, managing just 2.5 sacks in 31 games. In Oakland, he'll compete for snaps in the nickel package behind Richard Seymour Matt Shaughnessy. Groves is unlikely to solve Oakland's pass-rushing problems.

Seems like just yesterday when we were discussing whether or not the Pats should draft Groves . . .

The raiders are a mess, but consider:

1. He's moving from J-ville to the Bay Area. That's a step up, IMO, even taking weather into account.
2. He's moving from a team with no fanbase, to a team with a rabid fanbase. He will actually hear the hometown fans for the first time in his career.

Pats sign DL Amon Gordon according to Rapoport

Twitter / Ian R. Rapoport: Ok, OK, it's actually Amon ...

 

[Kontradiction]

I'm very glad the Patriots decided not to draft him a few years back...

 

[Box_O_Rocks]

I feel better.

How can only getting a fifth rounder for any reason be considered a steal? I seriously think Chris Mortensen has brain damage.
