Of course the biggest news today is Oakland trading Randy Moss to New England for a fourth-round pick and a lot of other stuff. On paper, it sounds pretty good for both teams. Moss wasn't happy rebuilding in Oakland. He may be have a caustic personality, but you have to give him credit for training like crazy and not being as likely take him ball and go him like Terrell Owens. So Oakland has this great bargaining chip to rebuild with and the Patriots get the type of receiver Tom Brady needs to make his offense more than just a sad shadow of its championship self. I'm a New England fan, but I have to admit the trade made me uncomfortable at first. I don't like guys who have attitude problems, even if they don't necessarily get in the way of their great play. It's growing on me, but it's not easy to love this trade if you are wary of guys like Moss.

See, this is why day two is awesome. Really fast picks. A big trade. And the guys who go today are more likely to be the impact players on these teams down the road. Just check out the Super Bowl XLI roster, and you'll see a ton of guys who were drafted on day two or came out of free agency.
