Yeah I'd say they want to move up to take Barron. As I said in the other thread I really wish the Cowboys would get him but Im glad they said aren't going to be trading up to do it.

If the Cowboys take Glenn with the 14th pick I'll be more pissed than CoA will be if the Browns take Blackmon at 4. Give me Barron, Decastro, or Gilmore one of them has to be available at 14...

Everyone on ESPN seems to think Andrew Luck is going to be awesome...

I'm skeptical

The Colts are certainly banking on it haha

What an offseason. Getting rid of arguably the greatest QB ever, tearing down what was considered a good, stable franchise and handing basically everything over to Andrew Luck. He has to be awesome and not just good.

I'm not sold on luck either. Harbaugh made Alex Smith look good this year who knows how much better he made Luck look.

Luck played a year without Harbaugh and still looked good...

Brownies give up 3 picks to move up 1 spot.

The Vikings master plan worked. They wanted Kalil all along, just wanted to scare teams into trading up to get whatever guy they wanted.

Im iffy on whether the Browns should have done that, they must have preferred Richardson over Blackmon greatly...or vise versa.

I guess when you have 13 picks you can give up a 4,5,6...those guys are usually special teamers anyways.

Rarely does a team get more than 4 or 5 good players in one draft. So to keep 13 picks is overkill in my opinion.

I think it was more other teams threatened to move up to 3 and Cleveland really wanted Richardson so they pulled the trigger on it. Obviously Minnesota was never going to take him.

They could have just shut up and taken Kailil, but instead they generated a lot of chatter about that pick, and got some late round picks.

Like the move for the Vikes, and the Browns if TRich is as good as advertised.

OTOH, the more picks you have, the better the chance of getting those 4 or 5 players.

I'm hoping for a lot more trades, because the top of this draft has no suspense lol. I can't remember ever knowing picks 1-3 beforehand.
