How many here were not old enough to remember the 2003 1st Rd trade for Fried Chicken Sullivan?

I was 13. I remember watching it at a restaurant before a baseball tourney on the Northshore. I also remember that everyone wanted DeWayne Robertson, but that the Jets traded up in front of us and got him.

What I am hazy on remembering is whether or not we made the trade up to 6 before the Jets made their trade. For some reason I feel like they used to announce trades that happened before they got to picks on draft day back then. Could be totally wrong though. Just remember there being some drama over whether or not we would get Robertson.

Didn't really know who Sullivan was. His highlights looked good, but I also remember him looking soft as shite in the preseason games.

Player I really wanted that draft at the time was EJ Henderson the LB from Maryland.

ETA: (Didn't want Henderson at 6, was just hoping we took him in the draft. We passed on him in the second if memory serves)
