Now they are saying 3 picks in 09...2nd 4th,and 6th....on finsradio

I'm sorry...I'm not trying to be a rumor monger...but just passing on the info.....

Omar kelly is denying the trade has happened yet....but if it's 09...it doesn't matter

Bucs are on the clock with half the time gone. If a trade has happened or is happening - and it involves this pick - something needs to happen NOW.

Tampa traded #52 with Jax.

Tampa traded #52 with Jax.

who promptly grab the best defensive end on the board, but where does this leave the JT deal?

If it is for picks next season, it doesn't matter when they announce it I guess.

I just saw that Tampa got Jacksonville's second round pick (#58) so this may still happen.

The thread asked for trade ideas. He's entitled to his idea, just like you are entitled to yours. I don't think it would be a good trade for the Fins. But like I said, he's entitled to his idea, so no need to talk down to him for expressing his opinion.

Yeah although we can't get better than a third rounder for him so that's out of the question.  It would be stupid to deal JT right now for what teams would give us.  I'm still reeling about seeing Zach go and both guys in one year would be too much.

What I would do is wait till October.... and if he's playing well, trade him right before the deadling to a contender for a 2009 first rounder

Jaguars coach says Dolphins are keeping Jason Taylor

DAVIE - The morning after Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland shot down rumors of a draft-day trade of Jason Taylor, Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said Sunday that he believes the six-time Pro Bowl defensive end isn't going anywhere.

"We took a good look at that,'' Del Rio said on ESPN. "We talked to them about him. It never worked out where it fit our teams. Obviously, they feel good about the player and are going to keep him.''

The Jaguars traded up to take Florida defensive end Derrick Harvey at No. 8 in the first round, and then took Auburn defensive end Quentin Groves in the second.

A source said that Taylor was unhappy about a chilly reception received from the coaching staff a few weeks ago when he dropped in for a visit to headquarters. Instead of working out with his teammates, Taylor has been competing on ABC reality show, 'Dancing with the Stars.'

Dolphins vice president of football operations Bill Parcells said last month that the only way Taylor wouldn't play for the Dolphins this season was if he, "retires.''

Ireland said late Saturday that some Internet reports saying that Taylor was being traded to the Tampa Bay Bucs for three draft picks were unsubstantiated rumors.

"We didn't get any calls [Saturday], so there was no discussion,'' Ireland said. "I was aware of it after the fact, but obviously it's strictly rumor.''

However, earlier Saturday Dolphins co-owner H. Wayne Huizenga said that he wouldn't stand in the way of moving Taylor to a championship contender.

"We've had a lot of conversations but we never really got down to saying trading him,'' Huizenga said on ESPN 760-AM. "That never happened. What's the best thing for Jason? He's got a big career ahead of him yet...He should go where he can go to the big game.''

The Dolphins have used two of their first four picks on defensive ends, including Clemson's Phillip Merling and Hampton's Kendall Langford.

"I like drafting core positions and definitely a pass rusher/defensive end is a core position,'' Ireland said late Saturday.
