    You worry way too much about height. No chance? Since when? Do you have any evidence of that?

      alright, i'll play

      kc would be insane to trade dorsey after one year

      they gave him 22 million guaranteed just last year

      they may not even have enough cap room to get rid of him right now. i don't know if all of that is signing bonus, but if it is, you're looking at a 18 million dollar cap hit if he's traded

        The Browns reportedly showed some interest in Ronnie Brown recently, but nothing materialized.

        The only surprise is that Cleveland hasn't done more to upgrade over declining Jamal Lewis. Mike Lombardi of the National Football Post indicates that Brown-to-Cleveland is unlikely, but it does appear that Brown is on the block. Miami probably wants at least a third-round pick for the tailback.

          Al Davis shaking up the top 10?!

          The Raiders are "locked in" on Maryland WR Darrius Heyward-Bey, according to the National Football Post.

          Heyward-Bey passes Al Davis' speed test, Oakland is desperate for a vertical threat in the passing game, and he's going to be there at No. 7 overall. Ideally the Raiders would trade back a few spots and still land DHB, but Davis may not want to take that risk. Davis also has no history of trading down.

            The Broncos have reportedly begun discussing ways to trade up for USC QB Mark Sanchez.

            Sanchez must have impressed GM Brian Xanders and offensive coordinator Mike McCoy Tuesday in Los Angeles. The Broncos also have dire needs on defense, so they may not be willing to top the Sanchez competition with the Jets and Redskins also interested.

              Ted Thompson may have found his trading partner.

              Sports Illustrated's Peter King is reporting the New England Patriots are attempting to trade into the top 10 in order to likely pick LSU defensive end Tyson Jackson.

              Hope we get out! Nothing would make me happier.

                The Patriots are trying to move into the Top-10 of the draft, according to SI's Peter King.

                The Pats are believed to have offered their first-round pick and the middle of their three second-round picks for the Jags No. 8 overall pick, but

                Jacksonville turned it down. King does not believe the Pats are after Tyson Jackson despite his obvious fit as a 3-4 defensive end. The Pats' target is said to be a "surprise." Apr. 24 - 12:29 pm et

                  First, the Glenn Dorsey rumor appears ridiculous. You don't trade a second year guy who had a nice first year at a position that is all but impossible to fill.

                  I'm hoping the Al Davis rumor is true - if one or two surprise picks occur in that top eight, that would leave the Packers in a position to either take Jackson or Raji, or trade down (if Sanchez is there at #9) and get some extra picks.

                    Big money, top half of the first round contacts rarely have much of a signing bonus in them anymore. It has to do with keeping the cap number low to fit the rookie cap pool but also making it possible to accelerate the salary in larger chunks when you are constrained by max 20% increases. It probably a tradeable contract. And remember, not all reported guaranteed money is truly guaranteed. A good chunk of it could be roster or option bonuses, or guarantees against injury.

                      Bedard's article on this is beyond the pale. Why would the Patriots trade with the Packers if they were both chasing the same player? One or the other doesn't want Jackson and Bedard cannot wrap his head around that.

                        Bedard isn't very smart. He doesn't know all that much about football either.

                            I think I'd give them #9 for #23 and #34. 34 is a really good pick to have this year.

                              This would be so bad ass if we would do this. Perfect position to draft English or Barwin and pick up extra picks.

                                The deal is fine, but the speculation is loony. The Packers make that trade if they think there is no difference in what is left at the end of the top ten versus bottom third of 1st round and top of the second. That means if Jackson is available, the Packers don't deem him worth the pick OR if he is gone, the Packers don't think much of what is left and the Patriots do.

                                The Packers wouldn't pull this off BEFORE their pick unless they are convinced Jackson and the lot are not worth it at 9, no matter which is left.
