The next few days are going to be interesting. I've seen lots of chatter about teams in the top 10 wanting to trade down but there hasn't been a lot of interest in moving into the top 10. The one exception I've seen reported is that Houston is wanting to trade their 13th pick to get into the top 10. I believe they also have #3.
There has been a lot of talk about the Chiefs using their 12 picks to move up. I figure they're going to package at least one of their first round picks (29, 30) to move up. How far remains to be seen. Some think they'll move into the mid teens, but the most recent chatter I've seen has them only looking to move up into maybe the early 20s. I think most of the thinking is that the top edge rushers will be gone by 10 and that this is a deep WR draft where they may feel they can get one of their top WR targets in the 20s, whereas a lot of other people think they need a top 15 pick. For me, as a Chiefs fan, this is the most interesting part of tonight's first round. I'm hoping they trade up with the 29th pick to get into the teens, then use pick 30 to trade back and pick up a few more early to mid round picks as they'll have to give some up to move up. They might also use these trades as a way to get into the 5th or 6th rounds if there are guys they like in that range and they don't have any picks in either round if I'm not mistaken.
