Carolina defensive tackle Kris Jenkins wants to know whether or not he’s going to be dealt. The Panthers engaged in trade talks

The longest first round in NFL history is finally over — incidentally, this is the site’s longest blog — after a little more than 6 hours of draft and analysis. And now it’s your time to read about who teams drafted, who was passed on. This is your quick guide with links to the original reported story (top 10 picks only).

Over the past several weeks, and especially the last week, we’ve swallowed more than a mouthful of trade rumors; some legitimate, some seemingly pulled out of thin air. All of them — the eight we deemed most likely, at least — with links to the reported stories and all the details, are listed below in a summary format.

Rotoworld reports that John Fox told the media at a pre-draft conference that “odds are” defensive tackle Kris Jenkins will be with the team when the 2007 season resumes. However,

New Carolina backup quarterback David Carr said Monday night he was excited to be joining the Panthers and considers it a good opportunity.

“It’s an opportunity for me to get on a winning team and improve as a quarterback,” he told the Houston Chronicle’s John McClain at the Houston airport.

Although he was a starter for his five seasons with Houston, Carr also said he had no problem with backing up Jake Delhomme.

“I’m going to do everything I can to get Jake ready to play,” he said. “If my number’s called, I’m going to go out and give the Panthers my best.”

Carr was signed last week by Carolina to a two-year deal that averages about $3 million annually.
