    On the NFL Network, they just said the Chiefs are "Willing to trade down". Are they not sold on Curry? Might they be looking for a TE??

    The Rams have bought a round trip plane ticket for Mark Sanchez, could they be tipping their hand early?

    Some GMs are sold that Seattle might pick Sanchez, I don't see Washington making that trade up to 3 to get him, if they really want him.

    "The draft begins at #8 in Jacksonville". Most teams are thinking Sanchez will be drafted right here, team who are looking at him will be ringing the Jags phone off the hook right after #7 is picked.

    Does that actually matter? I mean it is essentially a forgone conclusion stafford is the top pick, if he isnt the top pick will be Curry , meaning Sanchez will still be available at #2. So I honestly think that the Rams are the only team out there, who actually can tell the truth, and have no ill effects from it. Who do they need to smokescreen? I mean the lions already have their guy, Since no one can jump between them and you, no need to hide your hand. Might as well show the cards, and see if everyone thinks you have a winning hand.

    They could be fishing for a trade down, they also have a hell of a lot of holes so its a possibility

    Just heard on NFL Network..

    KC might draft Tyson Jackson. If Jason Smith is not picked by the Rams, he also might be the pick. No Curry???

    Andre Smith might boost up into the top 6.

    Matt Stafford wants his $35-$40 million guarrenteed money paid over 2 years, where the Lions want to pay it over 3 or 4.

    The 49ers are happy at 10, won't trade up, could trade down and gain another pick or two. They will "take the best player on the board". WR, OT, and LB are their targets.

    IF Jacksonville stays put, don't be surprised if they take Chris Wells.

    I understand not taking curry at 3, the amount of money you are paying for a MLB who doesn't rush the passer is pretty insane when you can get a LT for the same, or trade down and get an impact OLB/DE for much less, even if you only move down 3-5 picks, if you get out of the top 8 it's a ton of money saved for not much talent drop off
