    From Pastabelli :

    Houston owns the eighth overall choice in the first round of the draft and NFL sources tell ESPN.com that the Texans have been talking to teams higher in the order about moving up in the round, if necessary, to snag Quinn. Specifically, the Texans feel they might have to leap-frog the Minnesota Vikings, who own the No. 7 pick and will also be tempted to grab Quinn.

    The Texans have been doing a lot of talking with Washington, currently at the No. 6 slot, about a deal. That makes sense because Redskins coach Joe Gibbs, who finally seems convinced that you can't buy a Super Bowl with free agents and actually have to invest in some draft picks once in a while, wants to slide down out of the No. 6 slot and amass extra choices.

    Some in the league feel the Texans and Redskins already have an arrangement in place for such a deal, provided, of course, Quinn is still on the board at the sixth slot.

    Perfect ...

    If the Lions can trade down with Arizonia so they can take Joe Thomas, Detroit moves to #5 ... if Houston moves up to #6, the Vikings might want #5 so they can get Quinn. If they want him that badly, trading with Lions at 5 to move ahead of Houston at 6 will come at quite a price, giving Detroit a possible 2 trade down scenario netting the Lions 3-4 more 1st day picks.

    I'm for anything that keeps Quinn out of S Florida.

    Ideally, I hope the Rams get desperate for Okoye or another DL and want to trade up. Levi Brown or Chris Houston should still be there.
