    I've been thinking about this too, but I haven't come up with anything too good. I tried centering my thoughts around Washington because they seem to be ones to think...um....uniquely. And they seem to be in the right spot.

    I think Cleveland would be an ideal candidate to trade down. Who wants Braylon & how bad?

    There is a pretty strong rumor right now that the Vikes are talking to San Fran for that #1 pick, but it would probably require them to lose both #7 and #18. I don't think they will do that. They can get a stud running back (if not Mike Williams) at #7 and a good pass rusher at #18.

    Sounds like the hype of Matt Jones' workout is starting to wear out. Although I have to say there are like 10 different Mock Drafts showing the Steelers taking him. Should be interesting.

    Did someone say conspiracy theories? I've got plenty of crazy theories (conspiracy & otherwise) just none related to the NFL @ the moment.

    Did you see the wacky trade today between Washington and Denver for Denver's #25 overall pick? WTF?

    Wow. I didn't think anything would happen with Washington that quickly.

    What does Denver have on Washington? Does the Broncos brass have a picture of Danny naked with a goat, or what? That's quite an overpay on the draft value chart. 879 points for a selection worth 720 - an overpay of 159 points.

    The next step: #9 is worth 1,350 and #25 is worth 720 for a total of 2,070. That can get them to the #4 position of maybe even #3.

    Until Buchanon was traded, I would have thought they were looking that direction, but now it may appear that they are trading up. Leave it to Snyder to think he is one play away from the Superbowl. Braylon Edwards?

    I am sticking to my theory. There is no way in hell the Vikes will keep both 1st rounders, mainly because of financial reasons.
